Located on a plot of 11,064 m², this estate is a unique place for welcoming dogs and cats.
It is situated in the heart of a forest, away from the village of Bex and in an area without housing, just 2 km from the Saint Triphon highway exit.
Created in 1936 by General Guisan for the dogs of the army's sanitary troops..... then it was bought in 1948 by the Muller family.
Purchased in 2006 almost in ruins, the owner rebuilt it to make it a peaceful and safe place for animals. This kennel has a permit to accommodate 60 dogs and to produce a minimum of 3 litters.
The property is organized as follows: an entrance gives access to the administrative building which houses the reception, an office, and a training room on the first floor. The ground floor is distributed by a grooming salon, an infirmary, and a kitchen as well as a few boxes, a cattery, and a room for rodents. This building was constructed in 2014 following a fire that ravaged the entire structure.
The dog boxes are located in barns of 3 or 4 wooden boxes scattered throughout the estate, each having an outdoor space of the playpen type. Each box measures 7.5 m². The barns are heated by electric radiators in the ceiling. Access to water is located in a cabin in the center of the estate.
The entire estate is fenced.
Today the company, Le Rocher de l'Aigle SA, employs 5 people for the maintenance of the kennel and the management of the animals. All kennel employees are professional animal caretakers. The infrastructure is also authorized to train apprentices.
