The Wetterhoun, or Frisian Water Dog, is a rare, medium-sized, versatile hunter from the Friesland region of the Netherlands. Historically bred as an all-around working dog for waterfowl hunting, fishing, and farm work, the Wetterhoun is celebrated for its calm, loyal temperament, and remarkable ability in both water and land.

The distinctive curly coat of the Wetterhoun is designed to protect against the cold and wet, with insulating properties that allow the Wetterhoun to work comfortably in chilly rivers, marshes, and coastal environments. Known for being calm, loyal, and even-tempered, the Wetterhoun has a personality perfectly suited to both work and family life.
The Wetterhoun thrives in active households that provide physical and mental stimulation. While capable of adapting to suburban life, this breed shines in homes with room to roam and regular engagement with its family.
