Boerboel Puppies for Sale in Texas
Texas is home. We're a South African Boerboel breeder based in Livingston, in East Texas, about 75 miles north of Houston. That means serious Texas buyers can visit in person, meet the parents, and often pick their puppy up locally with no shipping at all.
The Short Answer
Yes, we serve Texas, and it's the one state where we're right down the road. We're located in Livingston, TX, an easy drive from Houston, and we place puppies with families across the state. Most Texas buyers either come pick their puppy up in person or arrange short ground transport, so air shipping is rarely needed. Boerboel puppies generally run $1,000 to $7,000 (most between $2,500 and $3,500). See our puppy price guide for the full breakdown.
How a Boerboel Puppy Gets to You in Texas
Being in-state changes everything. For most other states we coordinate flights and ground transport, but inside Texas the simplest path is usually the best one: you drive out to Livingston, meet our dogs, and take your puppy home the same day. No crates on a plane, no airport pickup, no stress on a young puppy.
From our place it's roughly an hour and a half to Houston, a few hours to Austin and San Antonio, and a longer but very doable day's drive to Dallas-Fort Worth. If you're out in El Paso or far West Texas, or you simply can't make the trip, we can arrange ground transport with a trusted pet driver so your puppy still travels by road rather than by air.
Whichever way it works, every puppy leaves us vet-checked, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, and with its paperwork. If you do want the full nationwide picture, our Boerboel puppy shipping guide walks through ground and flight options, and you can always reach us by phone at (713) 817-4120 to talk through what makes sense for where you are.
Serving Boerboel Families Across Texas
Greater Houston
Our closest metro. Houston, The Woodlands, Conroe, Katy, and Sugar Land buyers can reach us in around an hour and a half for an in-person visit and local pickup.
Dallas-Fort Worth
The DFW Metroplex is a day's drive south to us, or a short ground-transport hop. Plenty of our families come down from North Texas to meet the parents first.
San Antonio & Austin
Central Texas buyers from San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, and Round Rock are an easy few hours out. Many turn the pickup into a day trip to East Texas.
El Paso & West Texas
Far West Texas is a long haul by car, so for El Paso, Midland, and Lubbock buyers we arrange ground transport by road rather than putting a young puppy on a flight.
Owning a Boerboel in Texas: What to Expect
A Boerboel is a serious South African molosser guardian. Males commonly mature around 110 to 200+ lbs and 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder, and females around 100 to 185 lbs and 22 to 25 inches. They have a short, low-maintenance coat in fawn, brindle, brown, red, or cream, and a lifespan commonly cited around 9 to 11 years. They are devoted to their family, calm in the home, and naturally reserved with strangers, which is exactly why early socialization and an experienced, confident owner matter so much.
Texas brings two things to plan for. The first is heat and humidity: a large, dense dog like a Boerboel needs constant shade, plenty of fresh water, and exercise in the cooler parts of the day, especially through a long Gulf Coast summer. Never leave one in a hot car or out on a baking patio. The second is space. Whether you're on acreage in East Texas or in a suburban yard near Houston or Dallas, a Boerboel does best with a securely fenced area to patrol and a job to do. They are a wonderful fit for Texas families who have the room, the time, and the commitment a powerful guardian breed deserves.
Because we're a local Texas breeder, you don't have to take any of that on faith. Come meet the parents in person, see their size and temperament for yourself, and ask us every question you have.

Texas Boerboel Puppy FAQ
Do you sell Boerboel puppies in Texas?
Yes. Texas is home for us. We're a South African Boerboel breeder based in Livingston, in East Texas, about 75 miles north of Houston. We place puppies with families across Texas, including the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso areas, and serious local buyers are welcome to visit and pick their puppy up in person.
How much does it cost to get a Boerboel puppy to me in Texas?
If you're in Texas, the cheapest and easiest option is usually to pick up in person in Livingston, which costs nothing extra. For buyers further out in the state, we can arrange ground transport, and the cost depends on the distance and the driver. Because we're in-state, most Texas placements skip air shipping entirely. See our shipping guide for details.
Can I visit your kennel in Texas before buying?
Yes, and we encourage it. We're based in Livingston, Texas, and we welcome serious buyers to come meet our dogs, see where they live, and meet the parents of a potential puppy in person. Visiting is one of the biggest advantages of buying from a local Texas breeder rather than shipping a puppy in sight-unseen.
How much do Boerboel puppies cost?
Boerboel puppies from reputable breeders generally cost $1,000 to $7,000, with most selling between $2,500 and $3,500. Price depends on pedigree, the parents, and whether the puppy is sold on pet or breeding terms. A price far below market with no health records is a red flag, not a bargain. Our price guide explains what goes into the cost.
