Nederlandse Kooikerhondje

Cheerful. alert. Yours.

The first time you see a Nederlandse Kooikerhondje, you think someone painted a dog. That rich orange-red and white coat, the feathered ears tipped in black like they've been dipped in ink, they look like they stepped out of a 17th-century Dutch masterpiece.

The Nederlandse Kooikerhondje experience

You know you're a Nederlandse Kooikerhondje owner when...

●Those black ear tips, 'earrings,' they call them, and the way they catch the light when your Kooiker tilts their head at you, which is approximately every thirty seconds.
●The tail. That magnificent, feathered, constantly-in-motion tail that was literally designed to mesmerize ducks and now mesmerizes everyone at the dog park instead.
●How they pick their person and then become a gorgeous little shadow, always in the same room, always watching, always exactly one step behind you like the world's most elegant stalker.
●The 'Kooiker stare', that soft, steady gaze that somehow communicates 'I understand everything you're feeling and also it's treat time' simultaneously.
●Explaining the name to literally everyone you meet. 'It's Nay-der-land-se Koy-ker-hond-yuh.' Watching them nod and then call it a Kooiker anyway. Accepting this.
