Boavida Hunting Dog Breeder

Puppies are KUSA Registered.

It was in 1989 that Matthew Berry was called up for National Service and joined the SANDF Dog School; he did not know it at the time, but this was to be the base of Boavida as it is known today. It is here at the SANDF where he met Blaze, his yellow Labrador, a competent tracker dog, and partner in the field.

The rest is history.

It was during this time that Matthew Berry envisioned a team of dog trainers, each specialising in their respective fields, coming together to build the ultimate dog training facility.

Of course that visioned has evolved since those early days, but Boavida’s reputation for results orientated solutions grew steadily in KwaZulu-Natal where it all began. In 2016 we saw the opening of our 650 hectare Gauteng facility. Here we provide comprehensive, balanced training and behaviour modification programs for dogs and their owners.

In keeping with modern, predominantly positive training techniques and the latest advancements in understanding canines, at Boavida we see ourselves at the forefront of understanding how dogs think.

At Boavida we have a selection of dogs which will be available for outright purchase or with a training package attached.

These dogs have currently started their hunting career with us and are perfecting the disciplines they were trained to do in their formal training.

All of our dogs include a handover course, plus you will see your prospective hunting buddy perform in the field.
