One of the conditions of the Animal Improvement Act (AIA) is that – as a declared landrace - Boerboels MUST be imported and exported with permits issued by the Registrar of Animal Improvement. This condition also applies to genetic material (semen, ova and embryos). The Registrar’s fee per application is ZAR 350 for exports. He will approve applications on recommendation of SABBS and SA Stud Book only.
