  Kooikerhondje Dog - Breed Information
The Kooikerhondje was widely used in the 17th and 18th century by Dutch hunters to lure ducks into traps. The Kooikerhondje is a lively, affectionate dog equally at home as a hunting dog or a family companion. Kooikers are confident and outgoing with people they know but slightly wary with strange people and dogs.

  Kooikerhondje Picture, Facts, Information
Country of Origin: Netherlands. The Kooikerhondje is called the "decoy" in the Netherlands for its method of aiding the hunter. Pipes set with wire netting are placed around ponds and lakes. Feed is sprinkled near the end, with tame ducks eating the fodder and drawing the attention of the wild ducks.
