Where to find the Boarhound Puppy in Crimson Desert
The Boarhound Puppy can be found by traveling to Hernand Town and heading toward the northeastern side of the settlement. After reaching the saddlery area, continue along the nearby path and look around the roadside sections and open spaces just beyond it. The puppy usually stays in this area and is fairly easy to notice once you move past the main market structures.
Unlike some rare pets that roam larger regions, this puppy tends to remain close to the same general location, making it a quick collectible if you are already exploring Hernand Territory.
Nearby location details
The saddlery serves as the main landmark for this pet location. Once you pass the saddlery buildings and travel slightly northeast, keep your camera lowered toward the ground level because the puppy can blend into the environment from a distance.
You may also notice nearby NPC activity around the roads and town edge, which helps confirm you are in the correct section of Hernand Town.
How to increase Trust with the Boarhound Puppy
To fully interact with pets in Crimson Desert, you need to increase their Trust level to 100%. Dogs, including the Boarhound Puppy, respond best to Meat or Bones.
| Pet Type | Best Food Items |
|---|---|
| Dogs | Meat, Bones |
| Cats | Fish, Milk, Cheese |
Sometimes the pet’s color appearance may slightly change after fast traveling back into the area, so do not worry if the puppy looks a little different during later visits.
Tips for collecting pets efficiently
If you are hunting multiple pets around Hernand Territory, it helps to unlock nearby fast travel points first. This allows you to revisit pet locations quickly if the animal does not immediately appear.
Keeping extra food items in your inventory is also useful because you can raise Trust immediately after finding new pets instead of returning later.
The Boarhound Puppy is located northeast of Hernand Town, just beyond the saddlery area. Bring Meat or Bones to increase its Trust level and add another companion to your growing Crimson Desert pet collection.
