Dutch Shepherd puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Dutch Shepherd originated in the Netherlands as a working farm dog, valued for its ability to herd sheep, guard property, and perform general farm tasks. Rather than being bred for appearance, Dutch farmers selected dogs based on performance and utility. Over time, their intelligence, stamina, and versatility made them valuable in police and protection roles as well. While their numbers declined in the mid-20th century, dedicated breeders preserved the line, and today the Dutch Shepherd is recognized as a highly capable working dog with strong instincts and loyalty.
