Thank you for your request.
In general people want to raise a puppy rather than purchasing an older dog. There are advantages
to both older dogs and starting off with a puppy. With an older dog you know what you are getting --
physical and mental health. An older dog that you get from an unknown source, could be a risk though.
But an older dog that comes from a worthy owner, should enjoy a second look.
The suggestion in short is to not overlook older dogs when acquiring a Boerboel.
