I want to have a dog but I have no idea how the process goes.

Could any one tell something about dogs in Finland? Like register, insturance...

Are there any dog-markets arround helsinki?

thanks

Thankfully no there are no dogmarkets in Finland,

Apart from private adds in the local papers you can either go to the various rescue centers for a cros breed, or to a breeder if you want a pure bred.
If you do a search on here you will find links to the various rescue centers, Breeders cn be found by searching on the internet,

Insurance is a good idea, although it won´t cover anywhere like your full costs.

And its depending on the county - there may be a "dog tax" that is from 0 to 50 euros... some counties/cities have a tax, some don't.

you need a dog!

you only register (if you have to) after you have bought the dog... it is not a permission, it is a tax!
