Interview with Black Rock Canines
THE BLACK ROCK MISSION
Black Rock Canines was founded in October 2017 by David Rivera, an Air Force veteran who serves as a K9 officer in New Canaan, Connecticut. Through David's search for his own K9 partner, he learned firsthand that healthy, genetically-tested, U.S.A-bred dogs were simply not available in the marketplace today. 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. Black Rock canines was founded 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.
