Are good quality K9s becoming more difficult to find?
Your WDR Hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, are honored to sit down with Air Force veteran and current K9 handler in New Canaan, Connecticut, David Rivera of Black Rock Canines, (which is a large importing kennel @BlackrockK9s and BlackRockCanines.com)
The gents talk about the challenges of K9 supply & demand, buying dogs, future green dog sales, availability (or lack thereof) of dogs, the price of K9s, knowing your clients, and how a new 501c3 could change the way departments get dogs (keep reading!!)
Healthy, genetically-tested, U.S.A-bred dogs are hard to find. Dogs from other nations are often procured and deployed by the military and law enforcement at significant cost, only to find that their temperaments or preventable illnesses render these dogs unsuitable for service. Rivera founded Black Rock Canines to solve these challenges by establishing the first large-scale breeding program of high-performing, healthy, genetically-tested working dogs, service dogs, and pets in the U.S.A.
Rivera also started a foundation called American Detection Dog Foundation whose mission is to establish and run a working dog breeding/raising program in the United States. Please consider donating to the GoFundMe below; your donations will go directly to the raising of detection dogs right here in the United States of America (If you can’t donate, be sure to follow them, and like/share/repost to help them get the word out there!)

Episode 129: The early days of a tier 1 K9 program with Kelly Roby

Subscribe: RSS
Your Working Dog Radio Hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, are honored to sit down with combat veteran, Kelly Roby, who served over ten years in US Army Special Operations, as both a Ranger and a SMU operator, and played a crucial role in the SOFK9 community. The guys talk about handling dogs in the beginning of the GWOT. dogs he has worked, dogs they have lost, and the HUGE advantage of a large budget.
Roby began his career in 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75 Ranger Regiment. At 22 years old, he was the youngest soldier ever (at the time) to earn a place in the elite Tier One unit. As an SMU operator, Roby was involved in 350+ direct action missions in Iraq. He was awarded four Bronze Stars, two for valorous acts. During his time at Ft. Bragg, Roby had the additional privilege of being involved in early stages of the Special Operations Canine program which served as the leader for the implementation of the modern canine warrior in the Global War on Terror. Participating in the unit’s pilot canine program, Roby helped shape and evolve the Special Operations community’s tactical use of canines. When Roby left the military, he took his experience with Special Operations canines and helped to establish SOFK9 programs across all service branches.
So sit down, tune in, and learn a thing or two from the SOFK9 Extraordinaire himself, Kelly Roby. Follow him on IG at @Kroby70s
