Serra De soajo Zozo - Serra De soajo Zozo

Zozo is the dog that started it all. All the way from Elite Guard Boerboels in Portugal, we waited far too long for him! But the moment he arrived, we knew he was worth every second. For the past four years, we've had the privilege of raising and living alongside this incredible boy. Zozo is a true guardian: protective, powerful, and deeply loyal. He has a natural presence that makes you feel safe, and his intelligence is matched by an emotional awareness that sets him apart. While he’s reactive and takes his role as protector seriously, he’s also gentle and affectionate with those he considers part of his pack. If you're not in the inner circle, Zozo’s not looking to make friends, but for his family, he’s all heart. With his stunning tri-colour coat, impressive agility, and solid obedience, he’s built like a brick and moves with purpose. Zozo is currently our main stud, and we are incredibly proud of our handsome boy. His lineage is as strong as his character, making him the perfect foundation for our Boerboel family.

Affectionate to her core, Mary Jane loves nothing more than being close to her people, soaking up cuddles, and sneaking snacks when she can. With her soulful eyes and protective, yet loving nature, Mary Jane is the perfect mix of strength, softness, and undeniable charm. With her solid presence and bold spirit, she has that “wow” factor, truely a beautiful balance of strength and heart.

 Gardiaan Opal - Gardiaan Opal 

Opal is the nurturing heart of our pack. She has matured into a beautifully balanced female with a gentle, caring nature and a natural instinct to look after those around her. While she's a confident protector, beneath her watchful exterior is a soft, affectionate girl who thrives on love and companionship. With her playful spirit, cheeky personality, and goofy charm, Opal keeps us smiling every day. She's incredibly intelligent (especially when food is involved) and is always ready for a game, an adventure, or a cuddle on the couch. Although naturally a little reserved with strangers, Opal quickly reveals her sweet and loving nature, particularly around children, whom she absolutely adores. Gentle, loyal, and full of character, she embodies everything we value in a Boerboel and is a cherished member of our family.

- Alma Kali - Alma Kali -

Kali is our chocolate beauty with a heart of gold. Turning three this November, she’s loyal, intelligent, and deeply intuitive. She's a classic velcro dog with a curious, confident spirit. Food-driven and highly intelligent, Kali is a breeze to train and eager to please, making her a joy to work with. She carries herself with quiet confidence and a natural ease, and her unique colouring (though officially a DQ) only makes her more special to us. She brings a one-of-a-kind presence to our program; soulful, intuitive, and sharp. Her heritage bloodline is strong and proven, rooted in generations of guardian and protection work.
