The Kooikerhondje is classified by The Royal Kennel Club within the smaller ageing band, typically weighing 9–11 kg as an adult. A traditional Dutch breed with a distinctive orange-and-white coat and feathered ears, the Kooikerhondje was historically used to lure ducks into funnel-shaped hunting traps, and today makes a cheerful, alert companion.
What this means for your Kooikerhondje
Patellar luxation (a slipping kneecap) and a rare inherited condition called Von Willebrand's disease, affecting blood clotting, have both been reported in the breed. Otherwise, the Kooikerhondje is generally considered hardy and healthy.
The feathered coat around the ears and legs needs regular brushing to prevent matting, particularly if your dog is active outdoors.
When is a Kooikerhondje considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, small breeds like the Kooikerhondje are generally considered senior from around 10 dog years old.
