I was born in Switzerland. And I was raised in a family that enjoyed all aspects of dogs. My father had a great passion for dogs and spend all his free time as a”Search and Rescue dog instructor”he has successfully trained more than 1,000 dogs, and their owners, for search and rescue in the mountain and for the Swiss Army;
Our pet's are not"just animals".They are our best friends, our companions for life:

When we arrived in Zealand we was shocked! How Dogs,animals are being treated on a daily basis.Dogs locked in this small metal cage cages 24/7. Or Dogs who are forced to live outdoors their lives at the end on heavy chains in all weather extremes. Even our local ..SPCA Keriker.. in Bay Of Islands sets poor example?? If you treat a Dog this way in Switzerland ,,THIS DOG OWNER WOULD BE ALL IN JAIL,, The cruelty and abuse that some Kiwi's pay to animals, completely innocent and unable to defend themselves is truly disgusting.

The Facts; Chaining "increases the likelihood of a dangerous defensive response to a perceived encroachment on the dog's territory or possessions (food or water bowls). As a child approaches a chained dog, the dog gives a warning sign... such as a growl or a stiffened posture...that the child does not recognize. On the issue of safety, our records indicated that 83 percent of dog bites in NZ were from Owned family dogs[who] were confined on chains or had been chained and had broken loose.

Most important “give NZ People more education, knowledge!! And biggest priority spay and neuter “all dog and cats” in New Zealand. Many shouldn’t have had a dog, and didn’t have a clue about how to raise a puppy. And to many of this so ,,call dysfunctional families,, or gang members have a Dog and Children!

This is the reason you have so many aggressive Dog Attack in NZ. Maybe you should have tests for becoming a parent. But after fifteen years living in Nz we see the real truths about Kiwi’s: There is a strong link between cruelty to animals and violent crime against children! It seems the same people just commit the same abuse over and over again! You kiwi’s have a shocking reputation overseas,the way you treat your children and animals.How New Zealand treat Animals and children its a reflection our culture and society.
