    Recognizing why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take some time to develop: the boxer's playful and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of certain breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make amazing adult dogs.

    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog

Stabyhoun Information

Most Stabyhouns have a black and white colored coat with often a solid fully colored, usually black, head and white tipped tail. Brown and white Stabyhouns are less common, but may be seen in the Netherlands, while the orange and white coated Stabyhouns are becoming increasingly rare. Spotting and/or roan in the white are acceptable, but tricolor is considered a fault. Males are 53 cm (21 in) and females are 49 cm (19 in), measured at the withers. The ideal weight of a Stabyhoun is 40 lb (18 kg) for a female and 50–55 lb (23–25 kg) for a male.

The Stabyhoun has a gentle disposition. This breed is friendly, sensitive, intelligent, peaceful, patient, and willing to please, but may be stubborn on occasion. The Stabyhoun exhibits great tolerance of children and other animals. With steady yet gentle training, this breed will be obedient and devoted to its owner. Stabyhouns should never be vicious or snappy. Although a Stabyhoun can be very calm indoors, like all sporting breeds it enjoys plenty of physical activity. Stabyhouns like to swim.
