The place has a very good exhibition about painted dogs where you will learn a lot about these fascinating creatures. A bit of disappointment with the “live show” part as there was only 2 dogs staying at this big facility at that time.

It was a very well presented centre, which is very informative and easy to understand for all ages. It would be excellent for children.

There were only three dogs to see, one is kept separately ( crazy one) because he does not get along with the other two. We hear that he has been released twice into the wild but always comes back to the centre. He is demonstrating stereotypical behaviours such as pacing along the fence...very sad...
