Active, affectionate, and easy to train; the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje makes the perfect canine companion. This lively little breed originates from the Netherlands and the name is pronounced 'ney-der-lan-dsuh koy-ker-hoon-tyeh' (or 'koy-ker' for short).
This breed has been around since the 16th century and was originally bred to help hunters catch ducks. Thanks to their intelligence, confidence, and responsive nature, they make excellent working dogs, and they are still used by hunters today.
