Q. & A. with ColdRiver
Why did you start breeding?
Through years of involvement in performance sports and working evaluations, we were eventually introduced to the Boerboel and its rich history. The breed’s balance of power, stability, and purpose resonated deeply with our philosophy. That introduction marked a natural progression in our program—one rooted in function first, proven work ethic, and preservation of breed integrity.What makes your program special?
Our experience across multiple working breeds allows us to approach breeding with a disciplined, educated perspective, prioritizing structure, temperament, and capability above all elseWhere do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
