The Dutch Shepherd
Dog is a breed of dog. The breed is an old herding breed of Dutch origin. In the
old days shepherds and farmers needed a versatile dog, a
jack-of-all-trades, with few demands and adapted to the harsh and
meager existence of that time.
From those working dogs the
Dutch Shepherd Dog as we know it today was created. This background
also explains the character traits which have been well
preserved.
