I'm Danny, the dog nerd behind Danube Kooikerhondjes in Seattle, WA. My goal is to preserve the Kooikerhondje breed and raise well-rounded and healthy companion and performance dogs that are also competitive in the show ring. My vision is to produce versatile family dogs who are both functional and beautiful with the temperament to match. All puppies are raised inside our home using Puppy Culture and Avidog methods. Each will be matched to their perfect homes based on temperament and structure. Breeding and raising Kooikers combines my three favorite things: Dogs, history, and art. Each dog is a work of art that carries the legacy of all the historical people, events, and decisions that led to its current existence. I feel incredibly fortunate to be trusted to contribute to this breed's future. Our ideal Kooiker is: -Healthy and sound, with no illnesses, allergies, or orthopedic issues -Immediately identifiable as a Kooikerhondje with correct head, expression, and structure -Versatile and happy to do anything and everything with its family -A mid-energy dog that has a good off-switch inside the house -Long-lived and thriving as a beloved companion I am a founding member of the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje Clubs of California and on the Breeder's Committee.
