I'm the breeder behind Askuwheto Boerboels located in Lakebay, WA. We are a small hobby breeder in the Lakebay area of Washington State. Our goal is to produce quality Boerboels that have excellent health and temperament while still following the breed standard. All of our breeding dogs have been DNA tested for genetic diseases and have undergone hip and elbow evaluations (PennHip, OFA), OFA cardiac (echo), and CERF eye exams. We do occasionally use outside studs with similar health testing done.

“Puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks and come with a genetic health guarantee, age appropriate vaccinations and deworming, vet checked, microchipped, and tails docked. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your puppy and place on the pick list. The first deposit placed will get first pick.

We follow a program for the puppies that includes: early neurological simulation, early scent introduction, daily handling exercises, loud noise exposure, and exposure to novelty items that move, make noise, etc., so that our puppies can be confident and outgoing. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Introduction to leash walking, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) , early scent introduction, beginning crate training, Beginning potty training , Simple commands, Human Interactions , and Noise desensitization.
All puppies are evaluated by our vet before going to their new homes. All puppies will be up to date on vaccine and deworming protocols.
We send our puppies home with Breed Club Registration, Early Neurological Stimulation, Microchipped , Vaccinations, 30 days of FREE Trupanion health insurance , and Our puppies are all sent home with welcome home bags and information. .
