Trauffer Pomeranian Duck

ProSpecieRara The Pommern duck proudly displays its distinctive white breast marking, which is an important characteristic of its breed. This striking feature stands out against its black plumage, which has a beautiful green metallic sheen. Pommern ducks are excellent snail hunters and are often kept around vegetable gardens.

In the past, almost every region of Switzerland had its own farm animal breeds. Many of these breeds became extinct during and after the World Wars. Among the surviving breeds, several are still threatened with extinction today. Since 1982, the ProSpecieRara Foundation, along with many dedicated animal keepers, has been promoting these breeds. The traditional company Trauffer Wooden Toys has collaborated with ProSpecieRara to create a meticulously hand-carved collection dedicated to these endangered animals, aimed at raising awareness of the rare breeds. Additionally, 50 centimes from the proceeds of each wooden animal go towards ProSpecieRara projects for endangered animals.
