Schwips

Male · Young · 2 years

Mudis are intelligent and active herding dogs. Schwips is a friendly, rather reserved, and moderate fellow of his breed who still has a lot to learn. Nevertheless, he’s no couch potato and can certainly get really excited in certain situations. Schwips gets along effortlessly with both female and male dogs. We’re looking for understanding, knowledgeable people who enjoy spending time with their dog, showing him the world, and whom he can look up to and rely on.

DE·Show original

Mudis sind intelligente und bewegungsfreudige Hütehunde. Schwips ist ein freundlicher, eher zurückhaltender und gemäßigter Typ seiner Rasse, der noch viel zu lernen hat. Dennoch ist er kein Couch-Potato und kann durchaus in manchen Situationen hochdrehen. Mit Hündinnen und Rüden versteht sich Schwips problemlos. Wir suchen für ihn verständnisvolle Menschen mit Sachverstand, die gerne mit Hund unterwegs sind, ihm die Welt zeigen und an denen er sich orientieren kann.

About Schwips

What life with Schwips looks like

Schwips is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 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 Schwips, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Schwips?
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 Schwips on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Schwips 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 Schwips 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 Schwips 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 Schwips 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.
