The Schapendoes (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxaːpə(n)ˌdus] ⓘ) is a breed of herding dog originating in the Netherlands.

The Schapendoes descends from a general type of farm and herding dog popular in the Drenthe province of the Netherlands, and the Veluwe, an area of forests and swampland.

("does" is a local dialect meaning "swamp" see e.g. the town of Doesburg) The dogs there had many names, and were not a specific breed as we use the term today.

The Dutch Raad van Beheer (national kennel club) first recognised the breed in 1952, and the first standard was written in 1954.

The American Kennel Club has listed the Schapendoes as part of its Foundation Stock Service, the first step in breed recognition.
