How to get a Danube Puppy
We are waiting for our youngsters to mature and finish their health testing, so we will not have any litters planned until at least late 2027.
We are happy to refer you to other breeders we know and trust, please see our Breeder Recommendations link below:
If you're happy to wait for a future Danube Kooiker, or if you have any further questions you can email: danubedogs@gmail.com
The first step to get a puppy from our program is to have thoroughly done your homework on Kooikers. To have read through this website (and as many others as you can) to make sure they are a correct fit for your family and lifestyle. We expect you to have met well-bred kooikers in person (you can reach out to us for help in finding some in your area!).
They aren't a breed for everyone, and we are honest about all their traits in order to set both you and your puppy up for success.
At a minimum we expect our puppy homes to provide adequate socialization throughout and beyond the first year, and the same level of care and love that we provided for the first 9 weeks. The puppy will receive premium & balanced food, daily exercise, and training throughout its life, as well as professional medical care when needed.
We hope all puppy homes keep us updated on the health of their dog. We highly suggest all our puppies to undergo OFA patella exams (any age, can be hand-checked at a regular vet), eye exams (1 year), and hip x-ray (2 years). Any health issues must be reported to us so we can send the report to the Dutch health database and have it officially recorded. This helps us make better breeding decisions for the future!
We are just a text or phone call away throughout your puppy's entire life, and our ideal homes will send updates, photos, or videos as often as they are comfortable doing so, any time. They are our babies, even after years away from our home, so it brings us joy to see updates of them growing up!!
Kooikers are a rare breed, so while we love seeing that our puppy homes participate in performance sports and gain a variety of titles, the main goal is for them to be amazing breed ambassadors and loving companions in their new homes!
