Visit to northern California
Just returned from a whirlwind trip to visit Carousel Kooiker’s beautiful litter out of Primadonna and Matisse. While there, I had the opportunity to see Luke’s son Derby, Lilly and Astro’s daughters Joy and Emmi as well as Lucy’s daughter Amica and grandson Flash. Many thanks to Susanne Martin of Golden Gate Kooikers for arranging all the meetings, carting me around, and taking these lovely photos.

Waterbound Kooikers is now an Avidog Associate Breeder!
Having recently completed Avidog’s, “Introduction to Transformational Dog Breeding” and “Your Litter A to Z”, I am excited to announce that I have been accepted as an Avidog Associate. These two course have been invaluable to me as a breeder of Nederlandse Kooikerhondje.
Whether thinking of starting a breeding program or a long time seasoned breeder, ITDB will encourage you to think long and hard to clarify goals and priorities in your breeding program. It will help you to develop measures of your successes or failures in meeting those goals. “Your Litter A to Z” has answers to every question imaginable to the first time or the experienced breeder. It takes you from before your girl’s heat cycle begins until your litter goes to their new homes.
