"No reverse" in Boerboels??
Hi all, We just drove 5 hours to see a breeder of Beorbeols and we really like the breed. We are big time bullmastiff lovers for almost 20 years. The breeder was very informative and honest about some of the drawbacks of this breed like having "no reverse" when threatened. He was specifically talking about the dog not backing down from a fight until the other dog/threat "stopped". That made me a bit concerned as I really want any dog of mine listening to me as we want a dog that we can walk in the neighborhood without fear of fights. Our bullmastiffs were occasionally dog "pushy" and a bit of a bully, but never fighting. We want eventually to have 2 dogs in the house and have to trust the dogs to harmonize.Any comments about this trait?? Thanks!
