It was a brilliant trick of our ancestors – about 20,000 years ago, it occurred to people to tame wolves. The dog, as a pet, came from the wolf in the wild. And so began the fascinating story of the friendship between people and dogs.

The exhibition, "The Hunting Dog – Ally and Friend", explains how this close bonding between people and dogs emerged, which influence humankind has had on the evolution of the dog and how the partnership between dog and humans is lived out today in the hunt.
Directly experience the dog’s completely different world of senses! How does an individual use the specific skills of a dog in hunting and what does a young dog have to learn before joining in the hunt? Learn about the eventful history of the Swiss hunting breeds and see which dog breads were bred, trained and put to use for very specific types of hunting.

A brochure with explanations in English is available in the exhibition.
