Welcome to the european Boerboel International website.
The association where the Boerboel takes priority.

STATEMENT OF BBI S.A.
The world’s boerboel
community became impatient over the past few years because of a lack of true
leadership towards the boerboel.
The inability of the sabt to reach a point regarding kusa decisions is probably
the biggest reason for the split that has happened in the sabt.
There are many other reasons that can be raised with mostly jealousy as the
contributing factor,the agm that was stopped for ridiculous reasons was the last
straw that broke the camel’s back.
Various senior members of the sabt decided they have had enough of this
absurdity and alternative possibilties were looked into. the seriousness of the
situation is clear when the following names are reffered to:
Bert Grabe (Honorary Member, Former Chairman And
Senior Appraiser)
Kobus Rust (Honorary Member, Former Chairman And Senior Appraiser)
Jaap Mare (Former Chairman And Senior Appraiser)
Johan Blomerus (Former Chairman, Former Vice Chairman And Senior
Appraiser)
Roelie Van Heerden (Board Member)
Dirk Taljaard (Board Member)
Vincent Marvell (Former Vice Chairman, Senior Appraiser And Overseas
Representative)
Magelien Mare (Board Member And Senior Appraiser)
Marietta Pieterse (Former Board Member)
Rob Hendry (Former Vice Chairman Ebbasa)
Cas Roos (Former Board Member,Appraiser)
Basie Nel (Former Board Member)
Norman Myers (Senior Appraiser)
Heinrich Muller (Appraiser)
Gerhard Erasmus (Appraiser)
Frans Badenstein (Appraiser)
There are various breeders that have inidicated they are
interested in supporting an alternative organisation.
A lot of requests for help came from overseas to ask for advice in situations
where private individual boerboel ownership came into dispute.
Inspite of the fact that good
ideas were mentioned to solve the problem the sabt ignored this initiative that
was said to be impractical, without seeking alternatives.
Numerous requests from overseas to give attention to an unreasonable price
structure was frequently ignored and no decisive report could be presented about
the sabt finances, it was the last nail in the coffin.
Requests came from south africa
as well as other countries:
“Give us a
responsible organisation to enable us to care for our beloved boerboel”
The way has been paved for a new organisation that puts
the boerboel first.
Boerboel International declares the following:
We put the boerboel first
We undertake to put the boerboel in its rightful place in the international dog
world
We undertake to render a world class service
We undertake to render a service at an affordable fee, worldwide
