‘He barks, but rarely—not so great w/ dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets—any—domestic animal really (in fact, he wants to kill every one he sees). Speaking of killing, he kills mice and cockroaches. Really well. He responds to “come here,” “no,” and “sit”—treats—greatly increase his response time to these commands. Sometimes he dreams about chasing things and will woof in his sleep.

'boerboels') are actually one of my favourites to be completely honest, but I think I'm more compatible/suited to a catlike Shiba (from personal experience anyway) . In other words, even though I'm still considerably a 'dog person', I think cats suit me more (cat people suit me more too I think? Whatever that means, haha ) , but in any case - not being able to care for one that I 'love' and am responsible for would be the greatest nightmare I reckon !
