History of the breed

The Drente Partridge is a descendant of the first spaniels that came from Spain to the Netherlands , via France, during the 16th century. The Dutch then called it Partridge Dog. In the eastern regions of the country, especially in the province of Drenthe, breeders have made efforts to preserve the purity of the breed. On May 15, 1943, it was officially recognized by the main Dutch cynophile institution, the Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied. The official Drente Partridge Spaniel club was founded on June 5, 1948 .
