The Dutch Smoushond (Hollandse Smoushond, Dutch Ratter) is a small breed of dog, related to the Pinscher and Schnauzer breed type kept in stables to eliminate rats and mice in Germany and the Netherlands.

The Dutch Smoushond is small in size, at the maximum 10 kg in weight and 43 cm at the withers.

[1] The Hollandse Smoushond Club (Smoushondenclub) was formed in 1905 to document and register the small stable dog as a purebred breed, as it was in danger of dying out.

The name refers to its shaggy fur and face, as Jewish men (called Smouzen in the 1800s, a slur deriving from the name Moses[2]) had beards and long hair.

[4] There is illustrated reference to the breed in Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet's popular 1996 book, "Dogs."
