in Holland in the 16th century. What breeds were the ancestors of these dogs not known for sure. Some believe the Scottish Retriever to be the ancestor of the Dutch Spaniel. Representatives of this breed were to be used for hunting birds, particularly ducks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kooiker was on the verge of extinction during and after World War II. Baroness van Ammerstol saved the breed; she could export several representatives and increase the number of individuals.
