ABOUT THE FAIR
The Mein HundFair is an annual information and sales event dedicated entirely to dogs. Aimed at dog enthusiasts from the region, it offers a unique experience that combines expert advice, hands-on product interaction, and an engaging program in a distinctive setting.
The event takes place at the picturesque Schloss Oelber in Baddeckenstedt, whose historic backdrop provides the perfect setting for an event where both dogs and their owners take center stage. The fair is part of a nationwide series held at various locations across Germany. It is organized by Messen und Events Michael Piesch, an experienced event organizer specializing for many years in high-quality pet and animal-related exhibitions.
The fair presents a wide array of offerings: Alongside up-to-date dog accessories – including functional leashes, stylish coats, ergonomic harnesses, and handcrafted toys – visitors will also find premium care products and specialized dog food, such as organic or allergy-friendly options. These are complemented by services like grooming salons, mobile pet therapy, dog training schools, and consultations on nutrition and insurance. Exhibitors range from specialized retailers to certified dog trainers, offering expert guidance and practical solutions.
A key highlight of the fair is its supporting program. Live demonstrations such as dog dancing, agility, and dog frisbee provide exciting entertainment, while competitions like the popular dachshund race and dog casting shows invite active participation. Workshops and expert talks offer valuable insights into topics such as canine health, training, and assistance dogs. In addition, visitors can benefit from personal consultations on nutrition, care, and suitable equipment.
The fair also serves as a social hub – a relaxed meeting point for dog owners to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from each other in an open, friendly environment.
The target audience includes dog owners, families, and professionals from the dog industry – such as breeders, trainers, therapists, and retailers – who value quality, innovation, and meaningful interaction. Many of the exhibitors are rooted in the region and known for their hands-on expertise.
With its combination of emotional connection to animals, expert knowledge, and an inspiring setting, the “Mein Hund” fair in Baddeckenstedt has become a popular autumn event for dog lovers. The idyllic location of Schloss Oelber, easy access via the A7 and A39 motorways, and on-site parking make the visit especially appealing – for dogs, their owners, and those who aspire to become one.
The Mein Hund will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 29. August to Sunday, 30. August 2026 in Baddeckenstedt.
