Who are we? Some info can be found here in an article that I was asked to write for the 2022 SABBS International Boerboel Show Magazine in South Africa: Black-Iron-BoerboelsLocated on a farm in Indiana about an hour north of Indianapolis, we are known as one of the more premiere Boerboel breeders here in the USA. We also breed Wagyu, Wangus, and Limousine cattle as well as Euroline Maine Coon cats.
We stepped into the “owned by a Boerboel” world and fell in love after many years of closely following the breed. We have been serious breeders for now 38 years, but quickly fell head first into a Boerboel obsession after purchasing our first puppy in 2014. We have had many dogs over the years, but never one even remotely close to the Boerboel. They are the ideal dog for us as they seamlessly change from living room floor ornaments and babysitters, to serious family protectors. Our dogs are gentle with children and friendly with visitors when in our presence, but they put a whole new spin on the definition of guardian.
We searched far and wide before importing over our foundation stock, all of which were very carefully selected from some of the top producing kennels in the world. While everyone enjoys looking at a big gorgeous dog, our primary focus is producing healthy dogs with a true Boerboel temperament. First and foremost our dogs are true farm dogs. Health is also key to us, and we work diligently to ensure that we produce a dog with the health needed to support the temperament for years to come. The fact that they are easy on the eyes is just an added bonus!
Our passion is genetics, our love is for the dogs, and our goal is to produce puppies of exceptional quality both mentally and physically. We are typically seasonal breeders with 95% of our babies being born in the late Fall/Winter months. We take breeding and placing puppies into correct homes very seriously. I am very blessed to have a full in house fertility lab here at Black Iron…where we also do everything from progesterone testing, transcervical implants, semen storage, ultrasounds and more! We provide lifetime breeder support to all in the Black Iron family, and our puppies always have a home with us. We hold fast and true to preserving and promoting the breed with the utmost integrity. These huge and amazing dogs are not for everyone. Please research thoroughly, and reach out with any questions that you may have.
