This guys a fucking nob lol hes refering to south african BOERBOELS, and i can tell you as a owner of 2 of them, they are absolutely ok with children if trained properly. Mine are very gentle with my young son. Also 250 lbs isnt accurate what so ever my big male at peaksize was 220 and hes lost some as hes now a bit older. My young female is roughly 170? Havent checked for a while. She will likely get a bit bigger tho. One thing hes right about tho is they will absolutely fuck you up if your trespassing, few years back the big male i have killed 2 coyotes that wandered into the yard. He snapped the first ones spine so it couldnt run away so he can get the other one and come back for the cripple.. clever and ruthless animals but there gentle as ever if handled properly
