DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

My name is Michel. I am male, neutered, and born around 2018. I have been waiting since May 2019 for a new home. I am approximately 60 cm tall. My caretakers say about me: Michel is a found dog of one of our contract communities and is not missed. By now, he has received our typical medical round-the-clock care and is now searching for his home by not being discarded anymore. Michel is generally compatible, but tends to overreact in conflicts with fellow animals, which requires individual housing. We usually strive to provide at least pair housing for our charges, but in Michel's case, due to his potential for conflict regardless of gender and his rough behavior, we feel it is too risky for our absence. Perhaps a suitable partner will be found among us. Ideally, we would like to place him in his own home, preferably as a second dog, with a confident and self-assured female dog who can handle his spirited youth. Under guidance, Michel shows compatibility with both genders, and in a dog training class or a good dog sports club, his enthusiasm can be directed in the right direction. A life as a single dog is also conceivable, but one should factor in that staying alone is not yet one of his strengths and must be learned. Similarly, his habit of sometimes stubbornly backing up while walking and showing his horns must be considered. If the bright head notices any weaknesses in the walkers, it often uses their back for agility training and whacks its walker. For an inexperienced visitor, a good avoidance tactic would be to prevent it from becoming a habit. We remain hopeful that our Michel will become a dream son-in-law, which depends on the new owner. Michel shows clear signs of spiritedness and insecurity, but everything remains within normal limits and is not aggressive. However, consistent walking is met with a relaxed walk, often already with good leash handling.

Mein Name ist Michel. Ich bin männlich, kastriert und circa 2018 geboren. Ich warte seit Mai 2019 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 60 cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Michel ist ein Fundhund einer unserer Vertragsgemeinden und wird nicht vermisst. Inzwischen hat er die bei uns typisch medizinische Rundumvorsorge und sucht nun sein Zuhause, indem er nicht mehr entsorgt wird. Michel ist bis dato grundsätzlich verträglich, neigt jedoch bei Streit mit Artgenossen zu Übertreibungen, die uns zur Einzelhaltung nötigen. Eigentlich versuchen wir stets mindestens paarweise Haltung für unsere Schützlinge zu ermöglichen, da Michel sich jedoch geschlechtsunabhängig und grob zoffen kann, ist uns das in seinem Fall zu unsicher bei unserer Abwesenheit. Vielleicht findet sich noch eine passende Partnerin bei uns. Lieber wäre uns sein eigenes Zuhause, gern auch als Zweithund, bevorzugt zu einer erfahrenen und selbstbewussten Hündin, die dem übermütigen Jungspund gewachsen ist. Unter Anleitung zeigt Michel sich verträglich mit beiden Geschlechtern, in einer Hundeschule oder in einem guten Hundesportverein kann man seinen Übereifer sicher noch in die richtige Richtung lenken. Ein Leben als Einzelhund ist auch denkbar, da sollte man einkalkulieren, das Alleinbleiben noch nicht zu seinen Stärken gehört und erlernt werden muss. Ebenso wie seine Angewohnheit, mal stur den Rückwärtsgang beim Spazieren einzulegen und die Hörner rauszufahren. Bemerkt der helle Kopf dann eventuelle Schwächen der Gassigeher, nutzt er dessen Rückseite gern zum Hütetraining und zwackt seinen Spaziergänger. Für unbeliebten Besuch, der nicht so hundeerfahren ist, eine gute Vermeidungstaktik, wenn es nicht zur Gewohnheit wird.Wir bleiben gespannt, ob unser Michel ein Schwiegermuttertraum wird, das hängt dann vom neuen Besitzer ab. Ein deutliches Zeichen von Übermut und Unsicherheit, jedoch alles im normalen Rahmen und nicht bösartig. Konsequentes Laufen jedoch quittiert er mit einem entspannten Spaziergang, oft schon bei guter Leinenführigkeit. Kinder sollten schon größer sein, ein Haus mit Garten wäre wunderbar, ist aber für eine

About DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum

What life with DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum looks like

DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.

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.

Can I adopt DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum if I live in another country?

What happens if DSH-Harzer-Fuchs-Mix Michel – ein Schwiegermuttertraum isn't the right fit?
