dog owner
A person who owns one or more dogs and is responsible for their care, feeding, and training.
Als verantwortungsbewusster Hundehalter sammelt er immer den Kot seines Hundes auf.
As a responsible dog owner, he always picks up his dog's poop.
The word consists of 'Hund' (dog), in the plural or with a linking -e, and 'Halter' (owner/keeper). A 'Halter' is a person who holds or owns something, derived from the verb 'halten' (to hold/keep). A 'Hundehalter' (dog owner) is therefore someone who 'hält' (keeps) a dog.
Der neue Hundehalter muss noch viel über die Erziehung lernen.
The new dog owner still has a lot to learn about training.
The structure '[animal] + halter' is very common for referring to the owner or keeper of an animal. If you know this pattern, you can understand or form many other words, e.g. 'Katzenhalter' (cat owner), 'Pferdehalter' (horse owner), or 'Vogelhalter' (bird owner).
Als Katzenhalterin weiß sie, wie wichtig regelmäßige Tierarztbesuche sind.
As a cat owner, she knows how important regular visits to the vet are.
The word is often used in connection with responsibility and duties. Typical combinations are 'verantwortungsbewusster Hundehalter' (responsible dog owner), 'die Pflichten des Hundehalters' (the duties of the dog owner), or 'Halterhaftung' (owner liability) in the case of damages.
