I'd love to see pictures of her! Size, proportion, and coat (black earrings) are important identifying features of a kooiker. There are many dog mixes that may have similar characteristics--Brittanys, shelties, collies, Cavalier King Charles--but won't be quite the same. Sounds like she was a lucky find, whatever her lineage! And she was certainly lucky to find herself in your care. Thanks for writing, Rose Hi Mary Anne,

She was pulled as a puppy with 14 other dogs from a negelect situation out of West Virginia. I always considered her a border collie/Brittney mix until I discovered this breed. Is their an easy wat to determine if she truely is a Kooikerhondje? She seems to fit the description. I just love her all around laid back attitude, except when playing or practicing agility. She ADORES being a therapy dog, and is especially good with small children. When her time comes, I would love to be able to have another good "all around dog".
