Wetterhoun History

The Wetterhoun is a Dutch herding and guard dog, developed in the mid-1800s from the crosses of Collies and Bulldogs. The Wetterhoun was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1948, and by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 1979.

Wetterhoun Temperament and Behaviour

The Wetterhoun is a quiet, calm, and docile dog that makes a great companion animal. They are not overly active and get along well with children and other pets. While they are generally quiet and well-behaved, Wetterhouns can quickly sound the alarm if an intruder is detected.

Wetterhoun Activity Requirements

Wetterhouns are small, short-haired herding dogs that originated in Holland. They are intelligent and playful, and they make excellent family pets. Wetterhouns are active, but not particularly high-energy. A daily walk or jog can help to keep them healthy. They are also well-suited for apartment living. If you are looking for a friendly, companionable dog, consider adopting or purchasing an adult Wetterhoun. These dogs are loving and devoted, and they love nothing more than spending time with their families.
