    Ron I’m in. I have some BB owners I am meeting with tomorrow for a play date and I will be discussing this with them as well.

    My experience is finance, operations and organizational development so that is where I think I can be of most help.

    Well, the bad news is there’s not a huge turnout here publicly for help, however I’m not really surprised as a lot of people are burned out by the politics and potential mudslinging in the community.

    The good news is I have received a few private emails, as well as this post from Tony over at PAK Drift:

    So there are a few people interested still, it’s just the question as to how to move anything forward.

    Thanks again, and any other thoughts or comments, please feel free to add them!

    Hey Ron, we foster rescue dogs here in Ct and we are also Boerboel owners (lovers).
    We would love to help in anyway we could.

    That’s great to hear. :)

    If anything comes up I’ll keep you in mind. Maverick is still in need of a foster and/or forever home if you know anyone. I’ve met him and really love his personality. I can’t take him myself as I have a full house, but if I didn’t he’d be here.

    Take care,
    Ron

    Not sure if anyone has come across this guy yet. I posted him on the Yahoo Boerboel groups as well hoping there may be someone in the area.
    I’m sure this wasn’t the best way to post this on this site..?

    Ya, I’ve put a brief couple of notes about him on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SouthAfricanBoerboel/ but should put a full post here as well.

    Thanks!

    Hey Ron, ya I saw your posting, I didn’t realize we were both in that group.

    Anyway I came across a couple more in the Maryland pound…
    With the way new breeders are popping up I hope we don’t see allot more of these dogs come into the shelters and pounds.
    Seems like the Boers are getting more popular now with “urban cultures”….like the Pittbulls did..
    I could go off on a whole rant on that subject but I’ll behave myself LOL..
