About the Kooikerhondje
Kooikerhondjes are a very energetic sporting dog still used today in duck decoys. They have shiny coats with bold colors, and are beautifully feathered.
Cheerful but not noisy, these spaniels are very dependent on the people they live with. They are characterized by sociability, gentleness, and constant alertness.
