He usually barks but then becomes friendly.

When guests come, my Boerboel tends to be a bit reserved initially. He stands back and watches everyone, but once he knows they're friendly, he turns into a big mushball. It's funny seeing his personality shift. Though they can be protective, they are also incredibly loyal and loving to their family and friends.

My Boerboel takes a moment to assess new visitors. After a bit of curious barking, he tends to relax and sit beside them, making sure they feel welcomed. It’s funny to watch because he can be this intimidating-looking dog but is actually a gentle giant. They do have a protective nature, but their loving side shines when they get to know someone.

He barks a bit but warms up quickly. He loves meeting new people.

He usually stands in front of me when guests arrive, but I know it's just his protective instinct. Once he sees it's a friend, he’s all wagging tails.
