Comment on Should he stay, or should he go? by Liliane

Oh Rose, what a hard decission to make. That is really a though one.
To put your own feelings a side and think about the best for Hamlet is the best you can do right now.
2 days of travelling will be difficult for him. Can you visit him during isolation or is he going to be all by himself? Can he adjust to the weather/climate in Kenya?
You are the only one who can decide for him. The only one who really knows him.
And yes, you would miss him terribly. But if that would be the right thing for him then you have to do it.
He would adjust to a new family. And you could get photos. But that is not the same as having him around.
He is 12, he may not live to get 15. How would you feel when you are not with him to say goodbye? And how would you feel to leave him in Kenya?

I wish you so much wisdom and strenght to do whats best for Hamlet.

Love from the Netherlands,
Liliane

Jeezes, this is a hard choice to make. I would leave him in the caring hands of Brett. My kooikerhondje Renske is aging too, and has about the same issues as Hamlet. Don’t put him through this ordeal. You are the mature thinking person, you can make this decision for him and give it a place in your life. He would not.

I hope you make a decision that you are good with.

Enzi is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, belonging to Bruce’s cousin. Good luck with travel, Enzi! Have a pint for me when you get there!
Does anyone have experience taking a dog to the UK?

Rose, that’s exciting (and I’m sure stressful) that you are bringing Hammie! I will be interested to hear more about your experience flying with him and any tips others may have. Long story short, we might be moving to Ireland this summer, I am in negotiations about a job outside Dublin right now. Our biggest concern is flying with Enzi. We’ll have to talk more about it sometime.

Good afternoon/ morning;

On this snowy sunday morning, in the Netherlands, was passsing time on the internet. Tomorrow it will be first time to meet our newborn pup(German Shepherd).

It’s kind of “strange” family tradition, we name our dogs with Starwars characters. We’ll have to find a name for our new pup, so was looking for some Star Wars character names. This is how I reached your site.

Was just thinking about the loss of my last dog, he was everything to me. So looking at your site kind of struck me
We have have /had Rokko, Jedi, Yoda, Lando and …. Chewie. Chewie was my dog I had to put asleep last year, after 11 years companionship. All others are German Shepherds, but Chewie was my Kooikerhondje. A character dog which gave me so much joy.

I was wondering how you got to name your Kooikerhondje Chewie. Quite a coincidence.. a kooikerhondje with such a name – based on Star Wars character.

Should you want to have a look at the live of my dog, please feel free to look at youtube video, showing my Chewie:

I hope your Chewie will give you as much joy, as my Chewie did to me.

Have a nice day, and enjoy each and every moment with your dogs.

Hello,

Fantastic website!

It caught my interest from many directions. I am from Michigan and I am an avid waterfowler. A friend and I have been tabbling with “tolling” as a duck hunting technique. I also am from Dutch hertitage – my grandparents came to America from the Netherlands. It is high on my “bucket list” to visit the Netherlands some day. The Dutch Endenkooi is the first thing I want to see. Wherever you went in your slide show is exactly what I want to see. If you could share any information on where to go and any other tips that you would recommend for a visit over there I would greatly appreciate. Also I’m curious, do you or of your customers ever use your dogs to hunt?

Regards,

Bob Poel
