Q. & A. with Evelyn
Why did you start breeding?
When we researched dogs and found Kooikers, I realized what a special breed this was. Being a relatively rare breed, we feel it is important to give back, and breed our bitch. We chose to be breeders because we love dogs and Kooikers in particular, and want to contribute healthy dogs, bred specially for temperment.What makes your program special?
We choose dam and sire for excellent temperment and appearance and good health. The puppies are whelped and raised in our home, with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), and princilpes from Puppy Culture and Avidog.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
