Boerboel Puppies for Sale in New York (Shipped from Texas)
We raise South African Boerboels in Livingston, Texas and ship them to families across New York, from New York City and Long Island to Buffalo, Albany, and Rochester. Here is how a puppy gets to you, what city and apartment living means for a large guardian breed, and what it costs.
The Short Answer
Yes, we serve all of New York. Our puppies travel from East Texas to the Northeast either with a flight nanny who carries a young puppy in the cabin, or by professional climate-controlled ground transport for older or larger puppies. The puppy price is the same wherever you live, and we quote shipping separately for your exact address. See the Boerboel puppy price guide and our shipping page for full details.
How Shipping to New York Works
New York is one of the longer routes we ship, roughly 1,500 miles of road from Livingston to the New York metro, so the right method depends on your puppy's age and size at travel time. We help you pick the option that is safest and least stressful for the dog.
Flight Nanny (Small Puppy)
For a younger, lighter puppy, a professional flight nanny flies out of Houston and carries the puppy in the cabin under the seat in front of them, then hands the puppy to you at a New York airport such as JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark. This is fast (often same day), the puppy is never in cargo, and it is usually the most economical option for the Northeast.
Ground Transport (Larger Puppy)
Once a Boerboel puppy is too big for an in-cabin carrier, a licensed climate-controlled ground transporter is the better choice. Because the Texas-to-New-York haul is long, ground transport is typically a multi-day trip with scheduled rest, water, and potty stops, and the driver brings the puppy to your door upstate, on Long Island, or in the city.
A third option many New York buyers choose is to fly into Houston and pick the puppy up in person. You get to meet our dogs, see where they are raised, and either fly home with the puppy as an in-cabin carry-on or have it transported. Whatever method you choose, the puppy goes home with its records, a health guarantee, and our support. Full details live on our Boerboel puppy shipping page.
Owning a Boerboel in New York: What to Expect
A Boerboel is a serious dog. Males commonly mature to roughly 110-200+ lbs and stand about 24-28 inches at the shoulder, and females to about 100-185 lbs and 22-25 inches. They are devoted guardians, deeply bonded to their family and naturally reserved with strangers, which makes early socialization and an experienced, confident owner essential, and even more so in a dense state like New York.
Can a Boerboel live in a New York City apartment? It can, but it takes commitment. These dogs are calmer indoors than people expect and do not need a yard to run laps, but they do need genuine daily exercise, structured walks, and mental work. In a high-rise or a packed Brooklyn or Queens building, that means real planning: a loose-leash routine, off-peak elevator and stairwell trips, and a dog that is rock-solid around strangers, other dogs, foot traffic, and noise. A 150-pound guardian breed that has not been socialized to a crowded city is a liability, while a well-raised one is a steady, easygoing companion.
Wherever you are in the state, responsible ownership is the same job done in different settings. On Long Island or in the suburbs around Albany and Rochester you have more room, but the breed still needs leadership, training, and a securely fenced area. In Buffalo and across upstate, plan for real winters: short-coated Boerboels handle cold for limited periods but are not outdoor dogs and should live inside with the family. Everywhere, check your building's and insurer's policies on large breeds before you commit, and be the owner whose dog makes people comfortable rather than nervous.
We screen New York homes carefully because we want every puppy to succeed. If you are new to the breed, read about the Boerboel breed first, then start a puppy application so we can talk through your home, your experience, and which puppy is the right fit.
