The Kooikerhondje is a charming small dog breed with roots in the Netherlands, originally bred to assist hunters by luring ducks into traps. This breed features a distinctive orange-red and white coat and a lively, alert personality. Known for being affectionate and intelligent, Kooikerhondjes thrive with regular exercise and mental stimulation. They enjoy playtime and are generally good with children and other pets when properly socialized. Their grooming needs are moderate, requiring regular brushing to maintain their wavy coat. Ideal owners are active individuals or families who can provide consistent training and plenty of interaction. While generally healthy, they may be prone to certain conditions, so routine veterinary care is important to support their well-being.
