The Boerboel is a large dog, with a strong bone structure and well-developed muscles. The head is large and the muzzle is short. The coat is short and sleek with dense hair coverage. The recognised colours are brindle, fawn, and brown; it may or may not have a black mask. There is one minor divergence between breed standards; the Kennel Union of South Africa does not accept black but SABBS does. The dogs show courage when threatened; they may display aggression toward other dogs or strangers.
