For information on past stud prospects, including health testing and show results, feel free to contact me at the phone number or e-mail listed on the home page.
Draco
Flanders Draconis Borealis was born on Valentine’s Day in 2017 and true to his birthday, this guy is an absolute lover. Draco is a lean 150 lb. dark fawn brindle Mastiff, and stands 29″ tall at the withers. He is the clingiest Mastiff I have ever owned and absolutely loves people, and regards everyone he meets as a friend. He has a stunning coat, beautiful topline, nice head, and is very agile. He is more active than the average Mastiff and less sensitive than average for his breed. I acquired him at age 2 from an owner who couldn’t quite handle his size and energy. He has had a few minor behavioral issues to work out, but he’s done well, and wants to please. Draco has been OFA tested and passed hips, elbows, and heart, and also has been Embark DNA health tested. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2083089 http://embk.me/flandersdraconisborealis?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Onyx
Flanders Hooked on Onyx [92.9%] was born September 27, 2016. I acquired him at almost 8 months of age and he needed a lot of work. The breeder had spent no time training or socializing him and he acted as though he was a 130 lb. 8 week old puppy when I took him home. Thankfully, with some love and reassurance and making him face his fears head-on, Onyx has turned into one of the best dogs I have ever owned. He exemplifies the Boerboel breed wonderfully: great judgment, amazing protective instincts around livestock and family, wonderful demeanor, big, beautiful square head, muscular, compact, and agile body, good top line, perfect pasterns, elbows, and terrific hips. I have never seen a dog built like Onyx that can move the way he does. He is a true athlete and will perform any task you set him to, if you have the patience to show him how the job is to be done. Onyx is an absolute toy fanatic! He loves to chase a large squeaky ball or Kong and is always up for a two mile hike. I hit the jackpot with this boy. He may be one of the best studs I’ll ever own. He has been one of the easiest dogs I have ever trained. He wants so badly to please me and to have my undivided attention and love. Onyx is currently at a lean and muscular 130lbs. Standing 25 1/2″ at the withers (ideal breed standard height), he is a powerhouse. Onyx is registered with NABBA, WBBA, and CKC. He earned a silver medal in Senior class in both 2023 WBBA Conformation Shows and a bronze medal in an extremely competitive Open class at the 2021 WBBA Show. Onyx also took silver at the 2024 Boerboel Expo in Senior Class. Onyx has been OFA tested for hips, elbows, and advanced cardiac, with passing results for all three. He is Embark clear for all currently testable genetic diseases. I am offering live cover or side-by-side AI services on Onyx to approved bitches. He will throw black pups with any bitch he is paired with, as he is a double-black carrier. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2009782 http://embk.me/flandershookedononyx?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Kantasi
Romboel Bloodstone Opal-Brækhus (Kantasi), out of Romboel Farm Dogs in SeaTac, WA, was born January 17, 2024. Both of his parents are multiple title holders and champions in AKC/UKC and it’s clear Kantasi has the same champion show potential. Tasi won WBBA Best in Show Spring 2024 Working Class Puppy. He has a very chill attitude and interacts very well with other dogs and people, if properly introduced. He is gentle with other animals and has the potential to be a nice farm dog that can be trusted around livestock. Tasi will undergo health testing in 2025 and 2026, and hopefully will make a wonderful Boerboel breeding stud someday!
Theo
Theodore William Keath was born April 4, 2019. He is owned by Ryan and Meredith Keath of Benton Harbor, MI. He is a very active farm dog with an absolute heart of gold. He is very gentle with children and other animals. Theo is a small, working Mastiff, standing 26 1/2″ at the withers and weighing 110lbs. He will make a terrific complement to any larger-sized bitch and he has a history of throwing huge litters of pups, and he breeds naturally! Theo was OFA tested for hips, elbows, patellas, and heart and passed all, at age 4! I am so, so excited to have him available as a part of my breeding program. Stud services may also be offered by the Keaths to approved bitches, at a very fair price. Inquiries can be made here. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2436330
Faro
Titan’s Legacy Walking a Waylon (Faro) was born Oct. 26, 2021, registered with AKC. He was purchased at 2yrs of age from Legacy Mastiffs in northern MI. I love this boy! He stands 30″ at the withers with a very athletic, lean build; weighing just under 125lbs. Faro is gentle with livestock and children and is a wonderful farm dog. He also has a very sharp, protective nature and will not hesitate to act with suspicious people. He is a wonderful example of what the Mastiff breed used to be 100 years ago. Faro sired his first litter in Sept. 2024 and I intend to use him for at least one more litter. He is a natural breeder and is open for stud services, to approved bitches. Faro has OFA “good” hips and normal elbows, patellas, and heart. He also has been Embark DNA tested and is not a carrier for any currently testable heritable condition. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2516056 https://my.embarkvet.com/members/results/profile?i=8
