Erich

Female · Young · 3 years

Erich is a 7-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer who is looking for a new home. He is a very energetic and playful dog who needs plenty of exercise. Although he has not shown much hunting instinct, it is still important to keep in mind that it can sometimes kick in. Erich is not old yet, so he will require some training and socialization. He is already a fairly large dog, so you need to be careful with his exercise and activity levels. Basic training such as housebreaking, leash training, and calmness training are also important. Erich is very social with people of all ages, but he can be a bit intimidated by barking dogs. He loves children, but he can be a bit clumsy and doesn't always know where his body is. He is said to be gentle in handling, such as nail trimming, bathing, and tooth brushing. He is used to traveling by public transportation and car without any problems. An active home that does not necessarily have hunting interests but enjoys going out and exercising in the woods and countryside is ideal. If the home also has an interest in other forms of exercise, that's a plus, as Erich is an active dog. He prefers to live alone, but if you already have a stable dog, that's also an option. Erich can live with children, but since he is a bit clumsy, he should not live with the very youngest. To find the right match and give the dog a safe home, please answer the questions below. You need to take the test before you can submit your interest form.

Sprallig Vorsteh-kille på jakt efter nytt hem Erich är en 7 månader gammal kille med allt vad det innebär. Han är en väldigt go kille med mycket energi som han behöver använda. Han är av en jaktras, dock har han inte visat mycket jaktinstinkt men man behöver ändå ha lite i åtanke att ibland kan instinkten kicka in. Erich är inte så gammal så han kommer att kräva en del träning med allt vad det innebär. Erich är inte så gammal ännu men redan en ganska stor kille, så man får ta det försiktigt med hans motion och aktivering. Även vardagssaker såsom rumsrenhet, koppelträning och passivitetsträning är något man behöver jobba med i nya hemmet. Erich är väldigt social med människor i alla åldrar, men hundar som skäller kan vara lite läskiga. Barn tycker han om men han kan vara ganska klumpig och vet inte riktigt var han har kroppen alltid. Han skall enligt uppgift vara snäll i all hantering såsom kloklipp, duschning och även vid tandborstning. Han är van vid att åka kollektivt och även bil utan problem. Ett aktivt hem som inte nödvändigtvis har jaktintresse men tycker om att gå ut och röra på sig i skog och mark. Har hemmet även intresse utav aktivering på andra sätt är det bara ett plus, då Erich är en aktiv kille. Han ska helst bo som ensamhund men om man har en stabil hund sedan innan i hemmet så är det också ett alternativ. Erich kan bo med barn men då han är ganska klumpig ska han nog inte bo med de allra minsta. Svara på frågorna nedan för att få en indikation på hur din vardag och dina planer stämmer med en hunds behov. Det hjälper både dig och oss att hitta rätt matchning och ge hunden ett tryggt hem. Du behöver göra testet innan du kan skicka in din intresseanmälan.

About Erich

What life with Erich looks like

Erich is a large young adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An young 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 Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Erich, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Erich?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundstallet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Erich on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Erich if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundstallet 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 Erich 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 Erich 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 Hundstallet early rather than rehoming privately; they know Erich 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 (SV). 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.
