When building a home, the first and most crucial step is laying the foundational slab. This slab sets the stage for a stable and enduring structure. Similarly, in a breeding program, the foundation is the cornerstone, determining the quality, consistency, and sustainability of the lineage.

At Al Aseel Boerboels, our foundation is built on a carefully curated genetic pool, ensuring our dogs embody the best traits of the Boerboel breed.

The Piona Influence

The Piona bloodline forms the bedrock of our breeding program and is the most significant influence on our gene pool. Known for their unwavering loyalty, balanced temperament, and strong mentality, Piona Boerboels were exceptional guard dogs and reliable defenders against threats like baboons and leopards. Their structure was remarkable, characterized by consistent top lines, blocky heads with wide muzzles, and excellent eye width.

Sadly, the Piona bloodline has largely dispersed within the broader Boerboel gene pool, but its legacy lives on. Notably, Piona Lugar stands as the second most prolific sire in Boerboel history.

Our Piona lineage includes:

• Al Asaad Roshan Le Piona
• Al Asaad Sharukh Le Piona
• Ataraxia Grindle Le Piona
• Maestro Napoleon
• Pineridge Jaws
• Dandeloo Mack

The Ysterberg Heritage

Second only to Piona in influence within our program is the Ysterberg bloodline. These dogs are renowned for their robust, functional traits, bred primarily for working ability rather than exhibition. Ysterberg Boerboels are celebrated for their larger size, agility, and versatility, traits that made them indispensable on farms and as guardians.

Our Ysterberg lineage includes:

• Ysterberg Sokket
• Mojo Phantom
• Ataraxia Snowy

Additional Influences

Diving deeper into our foundation, we find traces of other notable bloodlines, including Nostras, Mouzer, Middelpos, and Avalonia. These genetics further enrich the diversity and strength of our program, offering a robust platform for the future.

A Strong Foundation for the Future

Our breeding program is built on the legacy of dogs like Ataraxia Dutch, Ataraxia Hesh, Ataraxia 007, and Pine Ridge Jaws, who exemplify the robust and versatile nature of these foundational genetics. We are privileged to have these exceptional Boerboels at the forefront of our pedigrees, and we are excited to explore the possibilities their lineage offers.

At Al Aseel Boerboels, we believe a strong foundation is the key to preserving the integrity and excellence of the Boerboel breed for generations to come.
