Background

The Background

Erwin founded PuppyPlaats in 2008 to give dog lovers and breeders a more trustworthy place to meet.

He ran the site on his own for more than a decade, handling everything from development to customer support, and did it remarkably well.

Over time, breeders and families came to value the safety features Erwin built to keep bad actors off the platform. PuppyPlaats was becoming what he had set out to build.

In 2021, Pet Media Group acquired PuppyPlaats, and our work to make it the most trusted dog marketplace in the Netherlands began.
