The Stabyhoun or Stabij is a rare dog breed.[1] There are only about 6000 dogs of this type in the world.[2] It is a spaniel type of working dog.

History

The Stabyhoun was first noted in the Netherlands in the early 1800s where it was used as a working dog on farms and for hunting, specifically in the province of Friesland.[2]

Colour

These dogs are usually black and white, with a smaller number being brown and white and very small number of yellow and white examples.[3]

Temperment

The Stabyhoun is a gentle breed that is patient with children and other dogs. To keep them happy, like all gun dogs, they need a lot of exercise.[4]
