Welcome to the Large Breed Campus

Preserving the Past. Innovating the Future.

The Large Breed Campus is more than a breeding facility—it’s a living legacy dedicated to the preservation, research, and enhancement of the landrace Boerboel and other large-breed canines. Imagine the “Jurassic Park of Large Breed Canines”, where cutting-edge science, academic collaboration, and breeding excellence come together to safeguard the future of one of the world’s most remarkable dog breeds.

A Vision Like No Other

The Large Breed Campus is a first-of-its-kind initiative that combines university-led research, veterinary innovation, commercial partnerships, and breeding excellence to create a global hub for large-breed canine preservation.

1. Academic Collaboration

Partnering with leading institutions like Harvard, MIT, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Northeastern, and Brown, we are advancing groundbreaking research in:

  • Genetics: Mapping the Boerboel’s DNA to preserve its unique traits.

  • Behavior: Understanding the temperament and intelligence of large-breed dogs.

  • Nutrition: Developing breed-specific diets for optimal health and longevity.

  • Reproduction: Pioneering cryogenics and reproductive technologies to ensure genetic diversity.

2. Veterinary Excellence

Our state-of-the-art veterinary teaching hospital specializes in:

  • Advanced reproductive services, including artificial insemination and cryopreservation.

  • Whelping and neonatal care for large-breed dogs.

3. Commercial Partnerships

We’ve secured collaborations with major canine food manufacturers for longitudinal nutrition studies, ensuring that our dogs receive the best possible care while contributing to the broader pet food industry.

4. Breeding Legacy

At the heart of the Large Breed Campus is our genetic vault, housing legendary bloodlines dating back to 1999. This unparalleled collection ensures the preservation and enhancement of the Boerboel for generations to come.
