The Schapandos, along with the Dutch Shepherd, is a Dutch Shepherd.
Native to the Netherlands, the long-haired dog, which originated in the Netherlands in the 18th century and is active in the Dutch wasteland, is still lacking in information on its origins and is believed to be a very old breed. In the 19th century, the Dutch lowlands were much loved for their light and agile sheepdogs. Originally not as a fashionable pet or display dog. It has been bred for centuries by shepherds as the main breed of sheepdogs. Due to the different needs of the region, different sizes and various coat colors have been produced. The breed was once very popular, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was found everywhere in the Dutch lowlands where there were sheep flocks. It is related to many long-haired dogs, such as the long-bearded Collie, the Brit, the Polly, the Bergamasca and so on. The breed was devastated in World War II, and from 1940 to 1945, dog experts found the nearly disappeared breed and began to re-breed it. In 1947, the Dutch Lowland Schapandos Dog Club was established, and in 1954, the Schapandos Dog Identification Standard was formulated. In 1971, the standard was revised and the variety was explicitly recognized.
