Begegnung mit Herdenschutzhunden
Overview
With the return of large predators such as wolves, bears and lynxes, farm animals on pastures need more protection again. In Switzerland, around 200 guard dogs are deployed for this purpose, mainly to guard flocks of sheep. In Unterbäch you have the opportunity to meet the herd protection dogs accompanied by a recognised breeder and dog trainer. Mrs. Hofmann Marianne will take you on a walk to the guard dogs and tell you interesting facts about their mission, their work and the nature of the dogs. At the end of the tour a small culinary surprise awaits you.
