[html] Thanks for the very helpful and informative replies.Unfortunately it went slightly off topic but the last post brings the original question back nicely.There are many knowlegable people with invaluable experience on this forum that can be extremely helpful to potential owners making a choice of which breed is suitable. And although it is difficult to generalise you will see certain traits re occur is owners accounts of their breed.For me the Boerboel has the edge but this is my own personal preference. [/html]
