Discover puppies, planned litters from verified breeders, or available shelter dogs from official shelters across the country.
HonestDog brings together verified Elo breeders with available puppies, planned litters, and Elo dogs from shelters – all in one place. Every breeder is screened for responsible practices.
The cost of a Elo varies by source. Breeder puppies vary based on pedigree and health testing. Shelter adoption fees are typically €200 – €400.
Both options have advantages. With a breeder, you know the lineage and health history. From a shelter, you give a dog a second chance – often already trained and socialized. HonestDog supports both paths.
Watch out for unrealistically low prices, missing health documentation, and pressure to buy quickly. Reputable breeders welcome visits and answer all questions openly. All providers on HonestDog are verified.

Das Elo-Zuchtprojekt begann 1987 unter dem Namen „Eloschaboro“, der auf die drei wichtigsten Ausgangsrassen – Eurasier, Bobtail und Chow-Chow – hinweisen soll. Zur Verbreiterung der Zuchtbasis und der Erweiterung des Genpools wurden später noch Samojede und Dalmatiner eingekreuzt. Im Fokus der Kreuzung standen der Eurasier und der Bobtail, welche weiterhin vereinzelt beim Elo eingekreuzt werden. Ziel des Zuchtprojekts war es, einen Familien- und Gesellschaftshund zu züchten, der die Vorteile dieser Rassen in sich vereinigen sollte. Selektiert wurde dabei vor allem auf Wesen und Gesundheit; Felltyp und Fellfarbe waren sekundär. Der Standard wurde ebenfalls im Hinblick auf die Gesundheit abgefasst: Stehohren, die nicht zu Ohrenentzündungen neigen sollen, ein gerader Rücken, der Hüftdysplasie vorbeugen soll, und eine Ringelrute, die weniger gegen Gegenstände schlagen soll und so das Verletzungsrisiko verringert.
