The Schapendoes, also known as the Dutch Sheepdog, is a lively and affectionate herding breed developed in the Netherlands. Known for its cheerful personality, bouncing gait, and profuse coat, the Schapendoes is a great match for active families or dog sport enthusiasts.
Their long, shaggy coat requires regular brushing several times per week to prevent matting, especially in high-friction areas like behind the ears or under the legs. While highly trainable and eager, they can be independent thinkers, so training sessions should be positive, engaging, and full of variety.
