SET APART DUTCH SHEPHERDS
What is an FCI
Dutch Shepherd?
We are happy you would like to learn more about our beautiful and intelligent dogs and why we chose FCI as our standard in our breeding program. FCI insures that your Dutch Shepherd is a 100% purebred Dutchie!
Breed Standards
The Dutch Shepherd is a versatile and intelligent breed, recognized by both the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and involved in the Koninklijke Nederlandse Politiehond Vereniging (KNPV) programs. However, there are notable differences between the FCI Dutch Shepherds and those bred and trained under the KNPV criteria.
While both FCI and KNPV Dutch Shepherds share a common ancestry and many characteristics, the primary difference lies in the breeding and training objectives—FCI focuses on purebred breeding standards and versatility, while KNPV prioritizes working ability and performance in security-related tasks.
