had a very busy day. There were 14 dogs in total, and 7 were from

• OCTOBER 21, 2012: Eric took 3 of our boerboels to an ATTS (American
Temperament Testing Society)assessment, and all three passed! We are
increasing our high standards at Oak View, and plan to include
Temperament Testing by a third party at a neutral location as another
tool in our "Breeders Toolbox". The boerboels that earned their TT
on this day are Oak View Chico, TT, Oak View Sugar, TT, and
Oak View Nikki, TT.
As of October 21, 2012 only 23 Boerboels had been tested by the ATTS.
Our own foundation boerboel, Bebe, was one of the first tested in 2002.
A summary of the Temperament Test from the ATTS webpage:
"The ATTS test focuses on and measures different aspects of temperament
such as stability, shyness, aggressiveness, and friendliness as well as the
dog’s instinct for protectiveness towards its handler and/or self-preservation
in the face of a threat.
The test is designed for the betterment of all breeds of dogs and takes into
consideration each breed’s inherent tendencies.
The test simulates a casual walk through the park or neighborhood where
everyday life situations are encountered. During this walk, the dog
experiences visual, auditory and tactile stimuli. Neutral, friendly and
threatening situations are encountered, calling into play the dog’s ability to
distinguish between non-threatening situations and those calling for
watchful and protective reactions."

• JUNE 2012: We took a vacation to visit our good friends at Mouzer
Ysterberg in South Africa. While there, we took a week's tour Namibia.
It is a beautiful country, and we would love to visit it again sometime!
We also met with other Ysterberg Mastiff breeders and are excited about
this group of breeders that are actually working together towards a
common goal to preserve the Ysterberg bloodline for the future.
