🇬🇧 A community for the Dutch dog breed kooikerhondje. This lovely mid-sized dog breed was originally bred to assist in catching ducks.

🇳🇱 Een lemmy community voor het Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. Dit leuke ras werd oorspronkelijk gefokt om te helpen bij de eendenjacht.

I think it's already pretty amazing we have at least three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy :) Small steps, hopefully more will join in time.

Do you ever shorten the dog breed name? To what? Kookies?

I most often say "kooikertje" (dutch, diminuitive) or "kooiker" (which technically is wrong because that would refer to the handler rather than the dog, but it'll have to do :)

I have a little time later today. I'll makes some posts and see if I can drum up some interest. Maybe there are some owners who don't know about the community or people like me who love dogs and have subbed to many breed communities.
