Getting Your Boerboel Puppy Home to New York
New York is one of the easiest states for us to work with. For much of the state, pickup is a same-day drive from our home base in the northeastern United States, which means you can meet the adult dogs, see how they work and take your puppy home yourself. Private ground transportation is also an option.
Raising a Boerboel in New York
Upstate, a Boerboel's short coat handles winter well with a warm, dry place to sleep, and paws should be wiped after walks on salted roads. In the city, think about the practical side of a dog that will weigh 150 lb or more: elevators, stairs, building rules and daily exercise that does not depend on a backyard. Plenty of Boerboels live well in cities, but the training has to start early. Our puppies begin with leash manners and handling in HomeStart, and our training FAQ covers the next steps.
New York Dog Laws and the Boerboel
New York Agriculture and Markets Law §107(5) lets cities and towns run their own dangerous-dog programs, but "no such program shall regulate such dogs in a manner that is specific as to breed." The law says this applies to all municipalities, including cities of two million or more, which covers New York City. Private landlords, co-op boards and insurers can still set their own breed or size limits, so check yours.
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.
