Currently, Flanders Kennels owns rights to four studs and two stud prospects: Four Mastiffs: Flanders Draconis Borealis (Draco), Theodore William Keath (Theo), Cook’s Taika of Lacerta (Taika), and Titan’s Legacy Walking a Waylon (Faro), and two Boerboels: Flanders Hooked on Onyx (Onyx) and Mizpah Might of Kyanite (Kyan).
Draco
Flanders Draconis Borealis was born on Valentine’s Day in 2017 and true to his birthday, this guy is an absolute lover. Draco is a lean 150 lb. dark fawn brindle Mastiff, and stands 29″ tall at the withers. He is the clingiest Mastiff I have ever owned and absolutely loves people, and regards everyone he meets as a friend. He has a stunning coat, beautiful topline, nice head, and is very agile. He is more active than the average Mastiff and less sensitive than average for his breed. I acquired him at age 2 from an owner who couldn’t quite handle his size and energy. He has had a few minor behavioral issues to work out, but he’s done well, and wants to please. Draco has been OFA tested and passed hips, elbows, and heart, and also has been Embark DNA health tested. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2083089 http://embk.me/flandersdraconisborealis?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Onyx
Flanders Hooked on Onyx [92.9%] was born September 27, 2016. I acquired him at almost 8 months of age and he needed a lot of work. The breeder had spent no time training or socializing him and he acted as though he was a 130 lb. 8 week old puppy when I took him home. Thankfully, with some love and reassurance and making him face his fears head-on, Onyx has turned into one of the best dogs I have ever owned. He exemplifies his breed wonderfully: great judgment, amazing protective instincts around livestock and family, wonderful demeanor, big, beautiful square head, muscular, compact, and agile body, good top line, perfect pasterns, elbows, and terrific hips. I have never seen a dog built like Onyx that can move the way he does. He is a true athlete and will perform any task you set him to, if you have the patience to show him how the job is to be done. Onyx is an absolute toy fanatic! He loves to chase a large squeaky ball or Kong and is always up for a two mile hike. I hit the jackpot with this boy. He may be one of the best studs I’ll ever own. He has been one of the easiest dogs I have ever trained. He wants so badly to please me and to have my undivided attention and love. Onyx is currently at a lean and muscular 130lbs. Standing 25 1/2″ at the withers (perfect breed standard height), he is a powerhouse. Onyx is registered with NABBA, WBBA, and CKC. He earned a silver medal in Senior class in both 2023 WBBA Conformation Shows and a bronze medal in an extremely competitive Open class at the 2021 WBBA Show. Onyx has been OFA tested for hips, elbows, and advanced cardiac, with passing results for all three. He is Embark clear for all currently testable genetic diseases. I am offering live cover or side-by-side AI services on Onyx to approved bitches. He will throw black pups with any bitch he is paired with, as he is a double-black carrier. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2009782 http://embk.me/flandershookedononyx?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Kyan
Mizpah Might of Kyanite (Egoli Boerboels) was born November 20, 2020 and I absolutely LOVE him!! He is compact, but very strong. He LOVES to work and is very intelligent, biddable, and inquisitive; wanting to be shown how to do something, so that he can do it! He is 100lbs and stands 24″ at the withers, but will most definitely throw larger pups, based on his genetics. Kyan is my first ever champion in any canine competition, winning the Intermediate class male division of the 2023 WBBA Conformation Show (he placed third in his division in 2021). Kyan’s grandmother, Groenberg Pippa is a South African Grand Champion! Kyan is AKC, NABBA, and WBBA-registered. Kyan passed an echocardiogram with “excellent” results, according to the cardiologist. Kyan has been OFA tested for hips, elbows, patellas, and advanced cardiac and has been Embark DNA health tested. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2367893 http://embk.me/mizpahmightofkyanite?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark
Theo
Theodore William Keath was born April 4, 2019. He is owned by Ryan and Meredith Keath of Benton Harbor, MI. He is a very active farm dog with an absolute heart of gold. He is very gentle with children and other animals. Theo is a small, working Mastiff, standing 26 1/2″ at the withers and weighing 110lbs. He will make a terrific complement to any larger-sized bitch and he has a history of throwing huge litters of pups, and he breeds naturally! Theo was OFA tested for hips, elbows, patellas, and heart and passed all, at age 4! I am so, so excited to have him available as a part of my breeding program. Stud services may also be offered by the Keaths to approved bitches, at a very fair price. Inquiries can be made here. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2436330
