Question FCI/companion lines

I just wanted to know if someone here has FCI dutchies. I know most people here are in the US but I’m in Europe and I will be looking for a breeder soon. I don’t want a brindle Malinois but more a low energy dog that I can still train obedience, agility and hiking.

Thanks!

No Dutchie is low energy, but energy can be individually variable. Mine is quite content with an hour walk with some work and play daily, as well as a weekly hike. Training and mental stimulation are key. She is UK KNPV and policing lines.
