Welcome to the Drentsche Patrijshond Club of America
As America’s home for the Drent, we are dedicated to preserving this versatile Dutch breed as both a skilled hunter and a devoted family companion. Join our community in celebrating a dog that truly does it all.

Our Three Pillars
As a club, we strive to maintain the Drent according to the three pillars on which it was founded: Family dog, farm dog, and productive hunter.
We believe the Drent is the epitome of a versatile gun dog. The Drent is enthusiastic about everything he/she does – from cuddling on the couch to locating and retrieving game in the field – both land and water.
Our Goal
Our goal is to build a healthy, North American population, true to its Dutch origin.
Here at the DPCA, we are passionate about the Drent. Whether you are new to the breed and looking for more information, a current Drent owner who is just browsing, or a current Drent breeder looking for advice, we are happy to help!
If there is something you’d like to know and don’t see the answer on the website, please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have!
