Adopt Brian (Hütehund)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Brian, Ungarischer Hütehundmischling, male dog, neutered, born 01.06.2022, weight 24 kg Brian spent most of his life on a short chain. Therefore, he never had the chance to learn how to be friendly and social with fellow animals. He only learned to bark at them. This behavior still occasionally shows up on the leash. However, he has learned a lot from his walkers, including how to behave calmly and cooperatively during encounters with fellow animals. Nevertheless, Brian still needs to practice more with his future people because his ruff behavior occasionally still comes through. He carefully tests who he has on the leash – if a person can clearly, sovereignly, and calmly tell him what to do, he is happy to comply. He is friendly to people at our shelter. Sometimes he is still a bit stormy during greetings, but he is also learning. Very small children, however, might be a bit too delicate for Brian. The neutered male dog still has a lot to learn. His future people should plan enough time to teach the smart, active dog everything a dog in Germany needs to know. As a Hütehund mix, he learns quickly and enjoys working together with his person. Some experience with rambunctious, active dogs could be helpful here. An enclosed garden would be very nice for Brian, as he can run and move freely without the confining leash. We do not see Brian in a hectic urban environment but rather a bit outside, where he can enjoy long walks in nature.

Brian, Ungarischer Hütehundmischling, Rüde, kastriert, geb. 01.06.2022, Gewicht 24 kg Brian hat den größten Teil seines Lebens an einer kurzen Kette verbracht. Daher hatte er früher nie die Chance zu lernen, wie man freundlich und sozial mit Artgenossen kommuniziert. Er hat nur gelernt, diese zu verbellen. Das Verhalten zeigt er heute noch manchmal an der Leine. Allerdings hat er schon viel von seinen Gassigehern gelernt und dazu zählt auch, dass man sich bei Begegnungen mit Artgenossen ruhig und kooperativ verhalten kann. Trotzdem muss man hier weiter mi Brian üben,denn ab und zu kommt sein rüpelhaftes Verhalten noch durch. Er testet nämlich ganz genau, wen er an der Leine hat – kann die Person ihm klar, souverän und ruhig sagen, was er tun soll, macht er gern mit. Bei uns ist er freundlich zu Menschen. Manchmal ist er noch etwas stürmisch unterwegs bei Begrüßungen, aber auch das lernt er. Ganz kleine Kinder wären bei Brian allerdings vielleicht ein bisschen zu wenig standhaft. Der kastrierte Rüde muss noch viel lernen. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten genügend Zeit einplanen, um dem schlauen, aktiven Hund alles beizubringen, was ein Hund in Deutschland können muss. Als Hütehundmix lernt er schnell und es macht ihm auch Spaß, mit seinem Menschen zusammen zu arbeiten. Etwas Erfahrung mit hibbeligen, aktiven Hunden kann hier durchaus hilfreich sein. Ein eingezäunter Garten wäre sehr schön für Brian, denn hier kann er mal ganz ohne die einengendeLeine toben und sich bewegen. Wir sehen Brian auch nicht in einem hektischen städtischen Umfeld,sondern eher ein bisschen außerhalb, wo er schöne lange Spaziergänge in der Natur erleben kann.

About Brian (Hütehund)

What life with Brian (Hütehund) looks like

Brian (Hütehund) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Brian (Hütehund), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Brian (Hütehund)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigsburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brian (Hütehund) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Brian (Hütehund) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigsburg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Brian (Hütehund) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Brian (Hütehund) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Ludwigsburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brian (Hütehund) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
