The breed is an old country-breed, of Dutch origins. In times gone by, shepherds and farmers needed a versatile dog. A jack-of-all-trades, with few demands and adapted to the harsh and sparse existence of the time.
From those dogs the Dutch Shepherd Dog as we know it today, evolved. This also explains the character traits that have been preserved virtually unchanged to the present day.

The dogs were very loyal to the pack, intelligent and they were bred for suitability to the work on the farm and for the shepherd rather than physical type. Over time, suitability bred conformity. By the late 1800s Dutch Shepherd Dogs shared the same skills and, for the most part, the same physical appearance.

Because of the industrialization, sheep, shepherds, and their dogs were no longer needed. Afraid the dogs would die out with the last of the shepherds, a group of enthusiasts met to set up a Breed club for the Dutch breed. The NHC (Nederlandse Herdershonden Club) was founded on June 12, 1898 and set the first Standard for Dutch Shepherds.
With our years of “on the job” experience we quite simply recognize the FCI pedigree Dutch Shepherd as being a superior working dog.

We do not just breed the Dutch Shepherd dog and claim that they are from working lines. Our Dogs, in our breeding program, are current high achieving working dogs.
