Kooikerhondje
Dog breed / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kooikerhondje (Dutch for "Duck catcher's small dog") is a small spaniel-type breed of dog of Dutch ancestry that was originally used as a working dog, particularly in an eendenkooi (duck decoy) to lure ducks. Kooikers were popular in the 17th and 18th century[citation needed] and appear in paintings by Jan Steen.
