Drentsche Patrijshond

Drentsche Patrijshonds (40-70 pounds) are gentle, intelligent, and versatile, great for active families. They’re excellent with kids but may be boisterous for toddlers. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, hunting or hiking) suits them; their medium coat needs weekly brushing.

Feed 2-3 cups daily of Merrick Classic Healthy Grains Adult, with 26% protein for their energy and joint health. Control portions to maintain fitness. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or sedentary owners.

Training enhances sociability. Perfect for outdoorsy households seeking a loyal, active dog, Drents thrive with engagement, not for urban or low-energy lifestyles.
