Congratulations to Deborah Bean and Black Amiikos Prima Donna Intarsia for their Best of Breed and GroupII win yesterday!

Luke took Best of Opposite Sex today. All in all, a very successful weekend. Their were 7 Kooikers present and I would estimate 35-40 dogs of other rare breed in attendance.

Kooiker Performance Events at the Sunflower Cluster

Kooikerhondje can also try Lure Coursing and a CGC Test

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.
