One of the interesting and cool dog breeds that I get to work with. I love learning about all the various breeds and what they are intended to do, what their needs are and what their particular gifts are to us people.
This is the Kooikerhondje, a small Dutch waterfowl dog, wearing one of my cool coats because she does agility with her person.
This is what a Kooikerhondje looks like without stuff on. Kooikers, as they are called, were bred to lure ducks into traps for the duck hunters back in the 16th century, as well as hunt vermin. They almost disappeared after World War II but have made a comeback. Kooikers are not yet recognized by the AKC but will join in the sporting group when they do.
These dogs are described as lively, cheerful, good natured and moderately active. They are said to be slow to warm up to people they don't know but more than willing to please their person.
