History
Dutch shepherd dog is a Dutch breed that is not often found outside Dutch borders. This breed has been transformed from a shepherd dog to a true all-rounder for the past 120 years. As indicated earlier, this dog is also used as, for example, a police dog and an escort. But its origin can be traced back to 1898.
