The obligation to register is regulated in detail in the respective municipal statutes. These regularly stipulate the obligation to register,

  • if the dog is older than three or four months,
  • when acquiring a new dog or moving in with a dog,
  • when caring for or keeping a dog for a period of more than two or three months.

In addition, a separate entry in the dog register is required, which is not carried out by the competent authority.
