History
Known for centuries, the Drentse Partridge Dog was developed in Drentse, a province of northeastern Holland. He is thought to be descended from the same strain as spaniels and setters. He is not very well-known, even in his native country.
Description
Quite persistent and gifted with a very subtle nose, the Drentse Partridge Dog is just as comfortable in the field as he is in swampland. He hunts all game birds (patrijshond means «partridge dog») and ground game. He points precisely and is an excellent retriever. This good-natured dog makes a nice pet.
Advice
He needs space and exercise, as well as daily brushing.
