Getting Your Boerboel Puppy From Portugal to Michigan
- 01
You do not need to plan any part of the journey. We work with a specialized transport company that takes care of the travel, the logistics and the documents for every puppy we send to the USA.
- 02
On your side, there are three moments: you contact us, you reserve with the €700 deposit, and you pay the €2,800 balance when you select your puppy with our help. We look at temperament, energy and confidence, not only at color or size.
- 03
Close to the trip, the transport company gives you the travel plan and the final quote, and you pay the shipping to them. Your puppy lands with its vet report and travel documents. In Michigan, you pick it up at the airport, or it is delivered to your home.
Rui has far exceeded our expectations as a breeder! We absolutely love our pup we purchased from him spring of 2022. It is our third Boerboel, first from him, but definitely not our last. We have already placed a deposit for another. Rui is an excellent communicator, honest, and produces the highest quality dogs. We highly recommend Elite Boerboels!!!

Great Lakes Winters: Caring for a Boerboel in Michigan
Michigan has large seasonal swings, with warm, humid summers and cold winters. In parts of the Upper Peninsula, average winter lows fall below 5 °F, and some areas there get more than 200 inches of snow a year.
The Great Lakes soften the climate along the shores, which are clearly warmer in winter and cooler in summer than places inland. A family on the Lake Michigan shore and a family far inland can live quite different winters.
The Boerboel is a rustic breed that copes well with cold. In a Michigan winter, that still means:
- Your dog lives and sleeps inside the house, not in a kennel in the yard.
- Wet coats get dried, and wet floors get non-slip mats or rugs.
- Short training sessions indoors keep your Boerboel's mind busy on days when the weather limits time outside.
- Puppies and older dogs need closer attention, and your vet is the right person for any health question.
Snow Days, Long Workdays and a Boerboel at Home
Winter can shrink a dog's world. When the snow piles up, walks get shorter, and an untrained, under-exercised Boerboel can make even a large house feel too small. Plan for those weeks before your puppy arrives.
Give your Boerboel a quiet place to rest, a crate introduced as a safe spot and never as punishment, and a daily program: a walk with focus, training games and place training after activity. If you work long hours, think honestly about how much time your dog will spend alone, because Boerboels do not like long periods completely alone.
