Boerboel breeders conduct milestone Appraisal

It was the second time the South African Boerboel Breeders Association(SABBS) sanctioned event is held in Gaborone, Botswana for local Boerboel breeders.

“The introduction of the linera appraisal and best linear unbiased prediction(BLUP) classification system is designed to help breeders make informed decisions based on collectred scientific data,” said Sello Motseta, Boerboel Appraisal Event Convenor and Director of Tswana Boerboels. He said, “This the second year time we have hosted the exercise in Botswana and we were quite happy with the turnout having exceeded the 15 Boerboel threshold to hold an appraisal. We are also excited to note that most of the dogs were being appraised for the first time and we did not see any repeat appraisals and we got an entrant from neighbouring South Africa – which bode well for the events future.”
