Borys Vom Zeder Bach

Borys comes from top Czech and West German working bloodlines. He has a sweet, stable disposition and is gentle around small children—he won’t knock them over. He’s a safe, trustworthy dog with an outstanding temperament. Highly biddable and focused in his work, Borys is easy to train and retains everything he learns. He possesses a full, calm grip and a deep, authoritative bark when in defense.

While breeding decisions should always prioritize the quality of the female, Borys brings a calm yet determined personality that complements my more serious females, helping to balance drive and avoid genetic overload in the puppies. He has rich pigmentation without a single white hair, carries dominant black coat genes, and boasts a full, thick coat.

Because of my commitment to responsible breeding and the well-being of my dogs, I made the deliberate decision to place Borys in a loving pet home at a young age. This choice was driven by my dedication to preventing accidental inbreeding with his daughters, Anja and Bora, ensuring the health and genetic integrity of future litters. By thoughtfully rehoming him early, I prioritized both his quality of life and the long-term sustainability of my breeding program, demonstrating that responsible stewardship goes beyond just breeding—it means making decisions that protect the dogs and the breed as a whole.

1. Low Genetic Risk: A COI of 0.8499% suggests a very low level of inbreeding, meaning the individual is likely to have high genetic diversity. This reduces the risk of inheriting two copies of deleterious recessive alleles, which can lead to genetic disorders or reduced fitness (inbreeding depression).

2. Health and Vigor: Individuals with low COI values are generally less prone to health issues associated with inbreeding, such as congenital defects, reduced fertility, or weakened immune systems.

3. Breeding Suitability: In breeding programs, a low COI is desirable when the goal is to maintain or increase genetic diversity, ensuring a healthier and more resilient population over time.
