Meet The Breeder

Hi from Tennessee! I've had Kooikerhondjes since 2001 and was part of their process towards gaining AKC full recognition. I've made multiple Kooiker trips to Europe, served on the Health & Genetics and Rescue Committees of the KCUSA, and am a member of the VHNK (the Dutch parent club). My interests are in conserving proper health, temperament and genetic diversity of this breed that has been my passion for more than 2/3 of my life. I dabble in conformation but prefer competing in performance events (Flyball, agility, rally obedience, scentwork, etc.), and my dogs have also trained and worked in bloodtracking, medical alerting, therapy dog work, and worked in the field as flushing spaniels. I have a degree in Animal Biology and concentrated in Reproductive and Conservation biology, and my approach to this breed is similar to the approach we take when managing captive populations of endangered species: my goal is to ensure future generations will still be able to have stable, healthy Kooikers. I don't believe in "cutting corners" about health testing, inbreeding, or breeding underage parents. While I've only recently begun breeding and do not currently have specific litter plans, I am building a waitlist for a possible 2026 litter, and for the 2027-2028 timeframe.

Pricing

Price ranges reflect the full total including any deposit.

Pricing Information

The total price listed includes a breeder deposit if applicable. DOGGIT will introduce the puppy buyer and the breeder to get to know each other. Growing a strong bond with a new puppy starts with a close relationship with the chosen breeder! The deposit is collected by the breeder directly once the breeder approves the puppy buyer. This means a puppy or future puppy from the breeder is reserved! Deposits are refundable if the breeder does not have a puppy for the puppy buyer, or has unreserved a puppy. The DOGG!T Matchmaker Service fees are also collected once a puppy is reserved. Matchmaker Service fees are transferable if the puppy buyer decides to go with another breeder. * We are committed to finding a puppy buyer the perfect breeder and puppy match. Once the puppy buyer and breeder confirm 'Gotcha Day' hand off, the remaining balance will be paid to the breeder directly or through DOGG!T payment services. Whichever the breeder prefers. * *See Terms and Conditions
