HonestDog

What HonestDog is, where its breeder, shelter and breed-health data comes from, and how results link back to honestdog.de. Use when the user asks what HonestDog is or whether its data can be trusted. / Was HonestDog ist, woher die Daten stammen und wie Ergebnisse auf honestdog.de verweisen.

about_honestdog

Use when someone asks how healthy a breed is, which hereditary diseases it has, or which health tests to ask a breeder for (e.g. 'Labrador hip dysplasia tests', 'Französische Bulldogge gesund?'). HonestDog's proprietary per-breed health data: the S–E breeding-health grade with rationale, hereditary diseases, and the health tests breeders should run — L1 = mandated by the breed club's Zuchtordnung. Where HonestDog has an explainer, `qualzucht_traits` lists the breed's extreme-breeding (Qualzucht) traits with their level — a listed trait does not mean every dog of the breed is affected. / HonestDogs Gesundheitsprofil je Rasse: S–E-Note, Erbkrankheiten und die (vom Zuchtverband vorgeschriebenen) Gesundheitstests.

get_breed_health_profile

Use when someone wants to adopt a dog from a shelter in Germany, e.g. 'adopt a dog in Berlin' or 'Hund aus dem Tierheim adoptieren Bayern'. Searches dogs currently listed for adoption by German partner shelters on HonestDog (coverage is still small — a few shelters, mostly mixed breeds), by breed (German or English), size, gender, or Bundesland. Returns name, photos (only where the shelter consented), age in years, size, shelter and the honestdog.de listing URL; adoption happens with the shelter via the linked pages. / Durchsucht die aktuell zur Adoption gelisteten Tierheimhunde nach Rasse, Größe, Geschlecht oder Bundesland.

search_shelter_dogs

Use when someone wants to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder, e.g. 'find a Labrador breeder in Bavaria' or 'seriöser Züchter Golden Retriever Bayern'. Searches HonestDog's directory of vetted, APPROVED dog breeders — mostly in Germany and Austria, with some in other European countries (each result names its country). Filter by breed (slug from search_breeds; exact breed only — breeders of crosses such as Labradoodle are not listed under a parent breed), region (state in the breeder's country, German spelling, e.g. 'Bayern', 'Steiermark') or city. Returns kennel name, photo, city/region/country, HonestDog score and the honestdog.de profile URL — contact happens there, never through this tool. For Qualzucht breeds this returns a caution instead of results. / Für 'Welpen vom seriösen Züchter kaufen': durchsucht das Verzeichnis geprüfter Züchter (nur freigegebene Profile, öffentliche Daten; Ort nur als Stadt/Region/Land).

search_breeders

Use when someone is choosing a dog breed or asks which breeds are healthy, e.g. 'healthiest small dog breeds' or 'welche Rasse passt zu mir'. Searches HonestDog's breed catalogue by name (German or English, umlauts optional), size class, or S–E breeding-health grade, most popular first. Returns breed slugs for the other tools, a breed photo, and the honestdog.de breed page URL. / Durchsucht den HonestDog-Rassenkatalog nach Name, Größe oder S–E-Gesundheitsnote.
