History
The breed is related to the Drentsche Patrijshond and the Heidewachtel and originates in the Frisian forest area. The name derives from "sta mij bij" ("stand by me"). Early 20th-century crossings with the Wetterhoun led to purification from 1938; the breed was officially recognised in 1942 and the first standard dates from 1944.
Coat
Medium length, straight, with weather-resistant undercoat, bushy on chest, collar, trousers and tail, short on head and front of legs. Pied black or brown with white markings, roans accepted; tan markings or tricolour are disqualifying.
