Eendenkooi
My visit to an Eendenkooi
Last week I traveled to the Netherlands and attended the Dutch Club Show, toured an eendenkooi, took a boat ride through the canals in Amsterdam, spent time with old friends, and made many new friends.
Eendenkooi: A small pond with several long cone-shaped wickerwork tunnels, used to catch wild ducks. Kooikerhondje, signaled by the Kooi Boss move silently through the reed blinds to lure ducks into a trap.

Dutch Club Match
I will be attending the Dutch Club Match next weekend and will be along bringing some Christmas cards featuring my Kooikerhondje art. I will also have a few paintings. This would be a great time to save on shipping.
