Description
Where do we begin with this special little lady…
Asteria is toilet trained and is excelling in our “Imperial puppy programme” where we socialise all of our puppies to loud noises, water, people and children. We also train basic obedience such as recall, sit, down, spin and walking on the lead.
She is bred from two fully health tested, champion show Boerboels that both have a fantastic reputation in the UK boerboel community. She has siblings in 4 different countries already, just from two litters!
Asteria has the hearts of everyone here at Imperial. She has always been a special, pick of the litter female and was reserved from a week old, however about a month ago she had an incident which meant her home fell through and she had to stay with us during her recovery. She is a happy, go lucky pup and is so handler oriented. She is a joy to be around and always so happy to see us and eager to please when training. We are heartbroken to have to rehome her and desperately wanted her to stay with us, but due to travel plans with our other keeper it just wouldn’t be fair so early after she’s recovered to put her through intense travelling for months.
Asteria will come with a 3 year health guarantee relating to her accident, which she has fully recovered from, but to put any future owner at ease that we will be fully responsible in the worst possible case.
ASTERIA’S STORY:
Asteria choked on her kibble in a freak accident, luckily we were right there watching and noticed her choking. She went almost immediately unconscious because she couldn’t breathe. We rushed her to the vet and although they at first told us that even if they could get her stable, the amount of time she had been unconscious meant that she most likely had irreversible brain damage. The team worked extremely hard on her for hours while we painfully waited and it was a miracle that her and her brain were completely okay. She then spent a week at a specialist in intensive care and came back to us for 1-1 watchful care and crate rest. Fast forward a month and she has completely recovered, like a normal puppy again, she is a complete miracle dog and little fighter. Throughout all of this everyone complimented us on how beautiful her temperament is despite what she’d gone through and how trusting she was to all of the unknown vet staff, an attest to how bombproof her temperament is.
We’re a family-run Boerboel breeding programme in the South of England, just outside the New Forest. Health, structure, temperament, and quality care are at the heart of everything we do. Our puppies are raised in our home with loads of 1-1 time, giving them the best start in life. We’re proud to produce elite guardians that thrive in family life, and with demand from around the world, our pups really do speak for themselves.
