Buying a Schapendoes
Buying a Schapendoes is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does the Schapendoes have with family and children?
This is typically an affectionate, lively and people-oriented herding dog that bonds closely with its family. They are generally good with respectful children and enjoy interactive play, but their high energy and quick reactions mean supervision is wise with very young kids.
How much exercise does a Schapendoes really need each day?
This breed was developed as an all-day working farm dog, so it needs substantially more activity than an average companion dog. Plan for at least 60 to 90 minutes of mixed physical and mental exercise daily, such as brisk walks, off‑lead running in secure areas, and structured training or dog sports.
Is the Schapendoes suitable for apartment living or city life?
They can live in an apartment or urban setting if their exercise and mental stimulation needs are consistently met. Regular access to safe off‑lead areas and structured activities is important, otherwise they may become noisy, restless, or prone to unwanted herding behaviors indoors.
How difficult is it to groom the long, shaggy coat of a Schapendoes?
The coat is long, abundant and slightly wavy, and it can tangle if neglected. Most adults need thorough brushing several times a week, plus careful work behind the ears, in the armpits, and around the hindquarters, with occasional bathing; many owners keep the coat natural rather than trimmed.
Does the Schapendoes shed a lot and is it hypoallergenic?
They do shed, especially seasonally, but the long, textured coat tends to hold loose hairs until brushed out, so shedding may appear moderate rather than heavy. It is not considered a hypoallergenic breed, and people with dog allergies may still react to dander and saliva.
What health problems are most common in Schapendoes dogs?
Overall this is considered a relatively healthy breed, but it can be prone to issues such as hip dysplasia, certain eye conditions and, less commonly, autoimmune problems. Responsible breeders screen breeding stock and owners should plan for regular veterinary checks and weight management to protect the joints.
Are Schapendoes dogs prone to barking or being noisy?
As a herding and farm watchdog, the breed is naturally alert and tends to use its voice to signal activity or excitement. With consistent training and enough mental and physical outlets, barking can usually be managed, but they are not typically a silent or very reserved breed.
How trainable is the Schapendoes and what training style works best?
They are intelligent, quick‑learning and often quite eager to work with their people, but can also be independent and somewhat clownish. Positive reinforcement, variety in exercises and short, engaging sessions work best, since harsh methods or repetition can make them lose interest or become stubborn.
Does a Schapendoes still show strong herding instincts in a modern household?
Many individuals retain clear herding tendencies such as circling, nipping at heels or trying to gather running children and other pets. Early training, redirection into appropriate activities and sufficient structured work, such as agility or herding trials, help channel these instincts productively.
What kind of owner or lifestyle suits a Schapendoes best?
This breed suits active owners who enjoy spending time outdoors and are interested in training or dog sports. It thrives in homes where it can be included in daily life, receive consistent guidance and have regular opportunities to run, think and interact closely with its family.
