Introduction

The Stabyhoun is a unique breed of working dog that is slowly gaining recognition around the world as a loyal and loving family pet. They are energetic, but intelligent and gentle, and they make great companions for individuals with active lifestyles.

History

The Stabyhoun originates from Friesland and was already a popular family pet in the Netherlands by the 1960s, but its ancestors can be traced back to the 19th century, and it’s believed to share part of its heritage with a few other breeds, including Spaniels. As a working dog, the Stabyhoun was the breed of choice for ordinary countryfolk and farmers rather than wealthy nobles, and its versality and even temperament soon saw it making its way into family homes as a trusted companion and playmate.

Personality

Intelligent and easy to train, the Stabyhoun is a good choice for first-time dog owners, but compared to other family dogs such as Labradors, they have a more independent character and therefore don’t always have the same eagerness to please. However, Stabyhoun in translation means “stand by me” and they are kind and thoughtful by nature and much less hectic than a Spaniel (although they are notorious barkers), excelling in dog agility and other canine sports.

Care Tips the Stabyhoun is low maintenance breed. Grooming: an occasional brush-over is generally enough to keep a Stabyhoun’s naturally muck-shedding coat in good condition, but a wipe down might be needed if they find a muddy puddle! Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: one hour daily, split into two walks, is generally enough to keep this breed happy and settled, but mental stimulation in the form of games and playtime will help to burn off energy.
