He is out of Zantah Boston (89.7) X Nostras Beaulah (88.0) a powerful combination yet to be repeated.
His brothers; Nostras Tyson (93.1), Nostras Filemon (89.3), and Nostras Beauton (89.2) as well as his sisters; Nostras Lisha (92.5), Nostras Nadia (88.8), and Nostras Marlah (81.3) have made great contributions in the boerboel world.
He is one of the top boerboels in the world. A Champion many times over and here are some of his credentials:
1. World Top 50: 2004 8th, 2006 3rd, 2007 2nd

The list could go on and on but you get the point.
He is a very special Boerboel with some of the most powerful genetics in the Boerboel world, one of the last of the old school Boerboels.
This gentle giant is outstanding in every respect. He is calm and self-assured. Zulu is very people friendly, not dominant at all. His progeny are some of the best and and most correct Boerboels in the world. All those that have come to see him have been very impressed.
He has a gigantic Boerboel head and neck as well as still being well muscled at 7 years young (he is as hard as a rock) and light on his feet. He is just as wide in the front as he is in the back. Zulu presents an intimidating appearance that everyone stops and takes notice of.
He is very easy to work with and his confidence and stable temperament are something special. He continues to impress. We are very excited to use him in 2010.
He has fathered outstanding progeny such as; Piet-Zyn-Drift Ulli (92.3), Piet-Zyn-Drift Habana (91.4), Piet-Zyn-Drift Fortune (89.7), Piet-Zyn-Drift Tessa II (89.0), Piet-Zyn-Drift Tau (88.9). More than 40 of his progeny have scored at 80.0 or better. That is an incredible feat.

2. Spitsvuur Motto |
    
Spitsvuur Motto (Rico) (Sabt 91.0 Stud Register) Born 8/20/08 26 in. 150 lbs. Hips 1/1 or C1/C1
Entropian and Ectropian Clear
He is out of 2008 S.A Reserve Champion Bullet Otto Fouchee (90.2 Stud Register Hips 0-0) x Spitsvuur Merle (87.0 Hips 1-2)
Top Scoring Boerboel Of The Day at the Columbus, Ohio appraisal
#7 male in the world for 2009 also in the Stud Register. Not bad for 14 months old.
Motto is very thick with tremendous volume, excellent head, chest, muscling, top line, and bone structure, he also has very wide powerful hind quarters. He is built like a bulldozer, yet his movement is fluid and he is very agile.
His thickness is exactly what many Boerboels today are lacking. He is very calm, self-assured, easy to work with and not dominant at all.
He is completely impressive from every angle. Fearless, yet, not aggressive. If you are after thickness, muscle and Boerboel bone look no further.
Motto and Xena patrol the house at night. It is comforting to know that if anyone were to come into our home uninvited, they would first meet Motto and Xena, 260 lbs of Boerboel. Motto is the 1st male I raised from a puppy and he goes almost everywhere with me.
While we have learned not to get to hung up on appraisal scores, he has some big names in his pedigree; Bullet Otto Fouchee (90.2), Spitsvuur Merle (87), Gretchen Bito (89.5), Avontuur Anton (92.4), Spitsvuur Mango (85.3), Spitsvuur Mollie (87.1) along with Gretchen Angus (87.4) and Cabaret Klein Buks (87).

3. Spitsvuur Tapyt |
 
 
Spitsvuur Tapyt (Sabt 88.3) Born 12/12/05 26 in. 125 lbs. Hips 0/1
Tapyt is the daughter of Spitsvuur Mandaat (85.6) X Spitsvuur Tessa (90.8).
We are excited to have her. She comes from 2 very successful female lines (Mollie X Tessa) at Spitsvuur and has been a great producer of large correct Boerboels. She was down in weight when we got her as the pictures show, now her size and thickness are coming back.
Although she is a large dog, she has the finish and balance of a small female. Like Tessa (90.8) her mother, she moves with grace and ease, on perfect legs with lots of muscle and bone. She is outstanding in head, neck, top line, rear, and legs. She is not dog dominant at all and has very tight lips something we really appreciate from Spitsvuur.
She gets her muscling and bone from both her mother and father which accounts for the great balance in her conformation and she moves like a ballerina.Tapyt is very similar in shape and color to her mother Spitsvuur Tessa (90.8) and her grandmother Jaws Tosca (85.4) and also her head is a throwback to her grandfather the well known Piona Lugar (86.4).
She has some nice siblings who have produced exceptional boerboels in Xandra Xara (88.3), Spitsvuur Keila (87.9) mother of our Xena (85.6), Xandra Joan (87.0), Spitsvuur Taxi (86.6), Spitsvuur Kanon (85.0), Spitsvuur Dina (82.6).
Tapyt (88.3) also has a strong pedigree as she quickly goes back to older lines; Spitsvuur Madaat (85.6), Spitsvuur Tessa (90.8), Grandaughter of the Legendary Cabaret Klein Buks (87.0), Spitsvuur Mollie (87.1), Grandaughter of the Legendary Piona Lugar (86.4), Jaws Tosca (85.2), Waaksam Mitzie (88.9), Avontuur Anton (94.0), and Lourina Mac (96.5).

4. Spitsvuur Xena |
   
Spitsvuur Xena (Tuffy) (Sabt 85.6) Born 1/7/08 24 in. 115 lbs. Hips A2/A2
Entropian and Ectropian Clear. Vaginal Hyperplasia Free.
Out of 2007 S. A. Senior-National Grand Champion Cabaret Pavarotti (93.3 Stud Register Hips 1-1) X Spitsvuur Keila (87.9 Hips 2-2)
Tuffy is beautiful and very correct, looking at her clearly brings to mind her sire Cabaret Pavarotti (93.3), Spitsvuur Mandaat (85.1) and Cabaret Straat-Kat (87.8). She has excellent muscling, straight topline, and outstanding rear angulation. Her head, neck and back come together perfectly. With all this, a nice head, solid bone structure and her mother's dark coloring, she is a wonderful example of Boerboel strength, balanced with femininity!
She was the first South African Boerboel we bought from Spitsvuur as a pup and we took her everywhere. She goes on vacation with us, loves the water. She runs and jumps in right off of the dock with no fear or hesitation. She also sleeps on my wife's side of the bed.
Tuffy is very intelligent and can read my mind and having a high drive and awesome guarding instincts, she is very protective. With all of that she is also a good listener and very obedient to everyone in the family. We are expecting beautiful things out of her in the near future! She has been a slow developer, but she is up to about 115lbs of solid Boerboel.
To finish off her package, she has been the perfect mother with her 1st litter.
Her brother is 2009 East Cape Junior Champion Spitsvuur Kwota (87.5) owned by Egoli Boerboels.
Xena also comes with a pedigree jam packed full of big names and high scores that set the standard: Caberet Pavarotti (93.3) Spitsvuur Keila (87.9), Cabaret Straat-Kat (87.8), Spitsvuur Mandaat (85.1), Spitsvuur Mollie (87.1), Cabaret Klein Buks (87), Maestro Cheeky (87.9), S.S. Kim (89.8), Waaksam Mitzie (88.9), and Cabaret Simba (86.1).

5. Gretchen Neffe |
   
Gretchen Neffe (Sabt 83.4) Born 9/9/08 26 in. 135 lbs. Hips A1/A1
Entropian and Ectropian Clear, Vaginal Hyperplasia Free
Neffe is out of the well known Gretchen Angus (87.4) X Gretchen Jessie II (85.9)
Neffe is a large yet balanced female. She is very muscular and also extremely agile. We were impressed with her shoulders, neck and muscularity, large bone structure and also her angulation, which is correct and add to that a nice big head.
Her greatest asset might be her temperament, she is very easy to handle. While we were building kennels for her and Zulu, she ran around and made friends with all the guys that worked on them.
Being scored very young, she has a lot of growing to do on her way to finishing out. We are sure she will improve greatly in the next year.
Neffe is energetic and loves to play, friendly, submissive as well as not being dog dominant. Making her that much more enjoyable. She runs and plays with our other dogs and we look forward to carefully pairing her with the most worthy males.
Neffe is the litter mate of Gretchen Angus I (90.5).
Angus has fathered some outstanding dogs; Gretchen Bito (89.5), Gretchen Michelle (87.0), Gretchen Jennie I (88.4), Bunda Lodge Buffels (89.7) our Neffe is right up there with her siblings.
She like the rest of our dogs has a lot of high scoring boerboels in her pedigree; Gretchen Angus (87.4), Gretchen Jessie II (85.9), Gretchen Bento (88.2), Marvell Zena (90.7), Linjo Nikki (93.3), Esfa Sakkie (88.8), Vanderbijl Toska (91.1), Linjo Gunter (89.3), Avontuur Alfons (94.0), Gretchen Ghita (87.2).

6. Cabaret Ghita |
   
Cabaret Ghita To be scored Born 6/10/09 26 in. 125 lbs. Hips A1/A1
Sired by 2009 NW Grand Champion Cabaret Straat-Kat (87.8) X Cabaret Diana I (81.9)
Vaginal Hyperplasia Free
Straat-Kat is well known for his bone, head and muscling and he has passed that on to our Ghita. He has also sired many impressive Boerboels: Cabaret Pavarotti (93.3), Cabaret Kwaadkat (90.2), Cabaret Nenna (88.9), Cabaret Elna (88.5), Cabaret Tessa (87.5), Cabaret Zulu (87.3), Cabaret Wies Dar (87.3), and Marijoh Franco (86.1).
There is no doubt where she gets her size and shape. You can clearly see her sire Cabaret Straat-Kat in her conformation.
She is very dark in pigmentation and weighs in at a lean 125 lbs and stands 26 in. She has tremendous bone and it was clear from the beginning that her head is exactly like her fathers, the perfect Boerboel head. Ghita loves to go for walks and she is very people friendly and outgoing, but also shows good protective instincts.
She is bigger than Xena and her Muscling, Bone and Head are impressive. Very energetic and lively she is also extremely submissive to us and other dogs. She is not the least bit dog dominant.
Her temperament is so very pleasant. She is always happy and playful, we are glad to have her. If all goes well we are confident she will make an important contribution to our kennel and the Boerboel world. We are looking forward to her appraisal in 2010.
