Caring for a Schapendoes

Health

Generally a healthy breed given careful post-war preservation breeding; hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy can occur.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active herding-dog background.

Grooming

The long, shaggy double coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting — a genuine grooming commitment.

Training

Highly trainable and agile, Schapendoes do well in agility, obedience, and herding trials, and need real daily mental and physical engagement.

About the breed

A Dutch herding breed related to the Bearded Collie, Puli, and Old English Sheepdog, nearly extinct after World War II before a small surviving population rebuilt the breed.

Lively and agile, Schapendoes are cheerful, versatile herders that excel in a range of dog sports.
