Northwoods K9 strives to produce working quality Dutch Shepherds of superb temperament and physical soundness. Only those dogs that have proven themselves in work, and then passed rigorous health screening are used for breeding. Not only do we insist on excellent breeding stock, but we guarantee the mental and physical soundness of puppies produced and require purchasers to adhere to the same standards that we have. Only by strictly screening those dogs that are bred, can we hope to preserve the Dutch Shepherd that we love.

Raising a Dutch Shepherd puppy can be as trying of an experience as it is rewarding. Additionally, many dogs are purchased or obtained by people that are not ready for the long-term commitment. There are many Dutch Shepherds available for adoption of various ages and temperament. The advantages of adopting a slightly older dog are many. The biggest advantage is that their personalities have already been established and many “puppy” behaviors have worked their way out. Please consider adopting a Dutch Shepherd in need before purchasing from any breeder.
