More information

To all seeking more information on Swiss dog breeds:

I am daily receiving many requests for addresses of breeders, clubs, mailing-lists and various additional information (e.g. diseases, availability, transport and prices of puppies) about our Swiss dog breeds.

This web-site is located at the Natural History Museum, Berne, Switzerland. The Swiss dog breeds pages are purely for general information and maintained by one of the curators of the department of vertebrate animals. We are not connected to any canine organizations or clubs and are not in a position to recommend any particular breeders. There are no veterinary surgeons, no breeders and no trainers at the Museum to answer your questions.

Although I would like to answer all mails personally as good and fast as possible, and have tried to do so up to now, I am sorry to have to announce that I cannot sustain this service anymore.

I therefore suggest you direct all inquiries to the Swiss Kennel Club at the following address:

Schweizerische Kynologische Gesellschaft (SKG)
Brunnmattstrasse 24
3007 Berne
Fon +41 (0)31 306 62 62
Fax +41 (0)31 306 62 60
E-Mail: info@skg.ch
Web: www.skg.ch

You will find some addresses of Swiss dog breeders on their web-site. For the complete list or for more information on whom to contact if e.g. you wish to acquire a puppy in Switzerland I suggest you contact them directly. They will however not be able to provide adresses of breeders or clubs in other countries.
Further contacts will obviously have to be made by you.

Thank you for your understanding
