Kooikerhondje

The good-natured Kooikerhondje hunting dog breed makes an affectionate family companion. Suspected to be an ancestor of the Nova Scota Duck Tolling Retriever, they hail from Holland and were used to lure ducks into traps for hunting or tagging. They still serve as hunting dogs, but also excel at other dog sports such as flyball.

Although these are purebred dogs, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescues. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if you want to bring a dog home.
