You want to buy dogs & are looking for the right dog in Switzerland?
Buying dogs made easy! Some dog breeds are briefly described on our website, you might just find the right dog for you.
Below are some points to consider when buying a dog:
- Landlord
= Clarify whether the landlord agrees to a dog.
- Information
= Inform yourself well about the different breeds. Talk to different dog owners and breeders, visit different animal shelters. Perhaps you will find the right dog there. However, please note that some cantons have different laws regarding certain dog breeds.
- Time
= If you want a suitable four-legged friend, you should give yourself enough time to find one. Buy a dog that suits your circumstances.
- Vet visits
= The dog should already be vaccinated, chipped and wormed.
- Health
= The dog should be healthy and lively and the environment should be clean. If there are any questions, ask the breeder or shelter staff.
- Visits
= If you have found a dog that appeals to you, go and visit it regularly and if you have the opportunity, also take it for a walk. This will allow you to get to know the dog and its outdoor behaviour better.
- Decision
= You have decided on a four-legged friend and can pick him up soon. Go shopping for the missing accessories so that the dog feels comfortable.
- What is important to us
= Please do not buy a puppy on the Internet if you have not met it beforehand with the family or the breeder. Ideally, you should get to know the whole litter including the mother and get an idea of the origin. There are sellers on the internet who illegally import puppies from breeding stations abroad - please do not buy such puppies!
