The Hollandse Herder (known also as "Dutch Shepherd Dog") is a breed of Dog.
The Hollandse Herder comes in three varieties: shorthaired, longhaired, and rough haired. Although the coat types vary, the permissible colors are the same in all these three types. The longhaired Dutch Shepherd is a rare variety. The shorthaired variety is rather widespread in Holland. The rough haired (or wire haired) type is less common than the shorthaired.
The Dutch Shepherd's body is rather muscular and symmetrical. The chest is deep. The Dog's muzzle is long.
Unlkie the Belgian Shepherd or the German Shepherd Dog, the Dutch Shepherd is not known for its beauty. However, It's very pleasant, wise, and friendly; it shows affection and is easy to train.
