Kooikerhondje , Nederlandse Kooikerhondje
Luke, otherwise known as Estaika’s Lucky Lukas is pictured at a park in Alvin, TX in March of 2015. Luke came here from Finland as an 8 week old kooikerhondje puppy nearly 2 years ago. He lives at Waterbound and is co-owned by Waterbound Kooikers and Golden Gate Kooikers. More pictures of Luke taken on the same day can be seen on his page.
“Puppy” is the first of 3 Waterbound Kooiker puppies to be adopted by the Glancy’s. He was later joined by Hsiao then Woller. They have a great and happy life in Homestead Florida.

While co-owned by Waterbound Kooikers, Ruby resides in CA. We are planning a litter in the late fall or early winter of next year. Ruby has all her health clearances now except her final hip OFA.
The Sunflower Cluster of Dog Shows also offers:
Canine Good Citizen Test (Saturday)
Lure Coursing (Friday-Saturday-Sunday)
A Canine Good Citizen or CGC test is valuable because passing this test demonstrates that your kooiker is capable of basic obedience and behaving in a friendly manner around other dogs and people. Astro and Clanci will probably test at this show.
Lure Coursing is a performance event where your kooikerhondje can demonstrate its ability to hunt by sight. In a Lure Coursing test, the dog will chase a white plastic bag on a pulley system for several hundred yards. Most kooikers love and excel at Lure Coursing. I plan to enter Finn, Lukas, and Lucy in this event.
Kooikerhondje can also participate in Barn Hunt Tests at the Sunflower Cluster. This will be a new event for me and for my kooikers. I am thinking of letting Finn and Lucy give it a try.
American Portuguese Podengo Mediogrande Club Open Show
Berger Picard Club of America Open Show
The Sunflower Cluster, held in Wichita Kansas is offering 2 Open Shows this year. Kooikerhondje 4 months old and up can compete in Open Shows. I plan to attend. The question is, which of my kooikers do I enter? Pictured above is Lukas at about 18 months.
Beylka is a now 4 year old offspring of Lucy living in Canada. Hope you enjoy this video of her playing “Fetch and Release”.
