It is also known for being very happy with the children of the family, and it will always make a virtue out of taking good care of the younger members of the family. The breed can also have a tendency to be vigilant - though without being dismissive of strangers, and it usually gets along well with other dogs, so you do not have to worry about that with this breed. The breed only needs a moderate level of exercise, but one should not be mistaken that it appreciates being allowed to move around and get drained of some of its energy, therefore the dog fits really well into an active family, who exercises a lot and who wants to involve the dog in it. The breed needs close contact with its family and thrives best in a fixed environment, and you must be prepared for that if you want this breed. In the 16th century, the breed evolved from hunting dogs that came to Holland from Spain via France, and depictions show that it has not changed significantly since. The name means the partridge dog from Drenthe, which was the province where it had managed to avoid being crossed with other hunting dog breeds. The breed was as much a farm dog with the heath farmers as it was a hunting dog, and it was also used for pulling waggons on occasions. Life as a farm dog is the background for its special character. The dog grows up to 64 cm with a weight of up to 29 kg.
The breed always searches the terrain thoroughly and accurately without getting too far away from its owner. With this characteristic in mind, you can always trust the dog, as you can be sure it does not run away or roam. The breed usually works at a moderate pace and always keeps close contact with its owner. The breed is particularly suitable for hunting all types of game in all terrains, and it is also effective for searching for damaged game.
The fur of the breed is dense and half-long. It protects the dog well in all kinds of weather, therefore you can safely take the dog with you on the hunt or on long walks in all kinds of weather conditions. The coat is smooth and forms tabs on the ears, back of the legs and on the tail. You can definitely manage the fur care, as it is not something that takes a long time or is completely unmanageable. In fact, a thorough weekly brushing keeps the coat free of dirt, and in this way you also avoid the coat from filtering.
When dealing with the breed, you can count on it being quite cooperative, so you will rarely experience any issues when raising the dog. Other good characteristics of the breed are that it is also teachable, good at concentrating and eager to cooperate - in hunting and other activities. However, it is important to reward the dog's independent work and give the dog tasks that strengthen its self-confidence. This breed is an energetic hunting dog with fine qualities that also make it suitable as a family dog in an active family.
