Summary
About Dutch Shepherd (Hollandse Herder)
Dutch Shepherds are medium, athletic Dutch farm dogs with three brindle coat types. Intelligent, loyal, and protective, they bond closely with family, excel in work and sport, and need significant daily exercise, training, and socialization to stay balanced.
About Irish Red Setter
An energetic, affectionate pointing dog with a chestnut-red coat, long ears, and an elegant, athletic build.

Playful and often slow to mature, this breed is best suited to an active home with time for training, companionship, and regular grooming.
