This lightly built, well proportioned
dog has well-feathered ears with black tips.
The breed is well known in the Netherlands
and is reputed to have foiled an assasination attempt on Prince William
11 of Orange (1626- 1650) by barking and waking him just in time.
The bushy tail is used to lure wild ducks
so they can be banded and then released
