Cold River Boerboels is a performance-focused Boerboel breeder based in the northeastern United States. We don't have a location in Georgia, but we work with Georgia families who want a well-raised Boerboel puppy from proven performance lines. This page covers what is specific to Georgia: how your puppy gets home, what to plan for in your climate and what state law says. Our Boerboel puppies available nationwide page explains the process for every state.

Getting Your Boerboel Puppy Home to Georgia

Georgia is a long drive from the northeastern United States, often split over two days. Many Georgia families choose a flight nanny, who flies with the puppy in the cabin, or private ground transportation. Pickup is always welcome if you want to meet the adult dogs.

Raising a Boerboel in Georgia

Georgia summers are long, hot and humid. The AKC lists puppies among the dogs that face increased heatstroke risk, notes that heatstroke can set in once a dog's internal temperature passes 105.8°F, and warns never to leave a dog in a parked car, "even for a short time." For a big, muscular puppy in Georgia, that means training and exercise in the early morning or evening, shade and fresh water in the yard, and a cool indoor spot to rest. We also keep our puppies lean while they grow, and our guide to growing pains in Boerboels explains why that matters for a giant breed.

Georgia Dog Laws and the Boerboel

Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law, O.C.G.A. §4-8-21, defines dangerous and vicious dogs by what they do, such as a bite that punctures the skin or an attack that causes serious injury. It does not name breeds. Georgia does not ban any breed statewide, but some cities and counties have their own rules, so check your local ordinance, lease and insurance.

Laws change, and this is general information, not legal advice. Our Boerboel ownership costs and laws FAQ covers insurance and housing questions in more detail.

What Comes With Every Cold River Puppy

Every Cold River puppy goes through Cold River HomeStart™, our early foundation program: crate and leash introduction, handling, household routines and socialization with people and animals. Puppies go home with a 16-month health guarantee and lifetime breeder support. Families who want more structured training before go-home can add the optional Cold River StrongStart™ program.

Performance is how we measure the breed. Cold River's Sun Wukong and Cold River's Mr. Wednesday have each pulled 22,039 lb in UPF competition. The results and sources are on our world record page.
