荷兰狗的品种有哪些？

4. Hond Van Utrecht This rare breed is beautiful to look at－with a long silky coat that comes in black， chocolate or tri-colour. But don't be fooled by their cute exterior －they pack quite a punch when it comes to protection and hunting down vermin！ Originally bred near the city of Utrecht in the 18th century， they are also known as "the Dutch Dingo” because of their similar appearance and hunting abilities to Australia's dingoes. Unfortunately， the h
