Hello All,
For those that remember me, I'm from US on expat assignment in Dusseldorf for a few years. I brought my mini bull with me since last Aug 2015 and thanks to advice on here (thanks Crabat and others!) found lawyer Weidemann which helped me through alot of issues with getting my dog successfully registered in city. This is because he is "too tall" at about 42cm. And thanks to his german pedigree papers (GBF) AND a written evaluation by state vet in Bochum (who also was kind to document him at 39cm), all has been well this past year.
Still, I keep my dog mostly in fenced garden or walks in neighborhood. When I travel I've always had one of my fellow American expat neighbors pet sit my dog: he stays in crate and gets let out and fed a few times a day. Unfortunately, I have to travel in August and all my American neighbors are taking holidays back to US at same time. So now I'm left trying to figure out what to do with my dog. I see some TierPensions and Hotels mentioned online but really nervous leaving my dog and coming back 9 days later to find they handed him over to the city on some suspicion. So I'm trying to find someone that is familiar with miniature bull terriers that could either pet sit him for 9 days by visiting my house OR that I could board him with them to take care of until I return. Was thinking of looking at finding a TierPension across border in Netherlands where there are not dog issues but then still do not know who is good.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Mike
