Welcome to the Dutch Shepherd Kennel van de Tiendschuur!

There are three varieties of the Dutch Shepherd (officially known as the Dutch Shepherd Dog): short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired. Officially, these varieties differ only in coat type, with the same breed standard requirements applying to appearance and character. However, since these varieties have been bred separately for a long time, some differences have inevitably developed over the years.

We have been breeding long-haired Dutch Shepherds since 1977 and occasionally combine long-haired with short-haired breeding. We expect longhair puppies to be born around May 20, 2025 from our dog Katootje.

Read more about the Dutch Shepherd here and on the website of the Dutch Shepherd Dogs Club (NHC) (https://hollandseherder.nl). The NHC looks after the interests of all three varieties.
