The Stabyhoun is a Dutch national treasure. It is also called the Stabij and is very rare to see. The Stabyhoun is majorly used as a watchdog or to hunt vermin and game. Their quick, sturdy, and versatile nature come from its medium-sized, well-balanced body. It is long rather than tall, agile, and athletic. It has well-muscled limbs, and a body covered in a soft medium-length coat with white and black patches. On the face are round brown eyes, a slightly domed skull, ears flopping forward, while the back is straight. The soft silky fur should also cover the tail. The dog should be physically well-balanced and not muscular nor slender.
Stabyhouns have a withers height between 19”-21” (48-53 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 40-55 lb (18-25 kg). The Stabyhoun has an overall body length of roughly 31”-34” (79-86 cm), standing height between 24”-26” (61-66 cm), and a typical lifespan of 12-15 years.
