Kooikerhondje?[edit]

All very nice and so calling this dog "kooikerhondje". But unless you would want to use the Dutch name (I am Dutch, so pretty sure ^ that is Dutch, also have a Kooiker Hound), I'd suggest "Kooiker Hound" being used instead. Since "-hondje" really means nothing more than "doggy". So therefore I suggest a move to "Kooiker Hound". --Alca Isilon 13:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whereas I respect the sentiment above, I would disagree - the breed throughout Kennel Clubs around the world is known by the full Dutch name 'Kooikerhondje', it is a Dutch breed and is not known as 'hound'. So in my view the name Kooikerhondje should stay Dr V 11:32, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Dr VDr V 11:32, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I concure. Kooikerhonje is the most common name in English, regardless of whether it's a Dutch name. Saluki, Borzoi, Kuvasz, Pumi, Puli, Dogue de Bordeaux, Berger Blanc Suisse and Komondor among others are all loanwords/phrases, therefore I see no problem with keeping the Dutch name. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What might help is a phonetic rendering of whichever name is used. How does an anglophone say Kooiker or Kooikerhondje? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.247.0.204 (talk) 03:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct pictures[edit]

Remove the pictures please that is not a typical kooiker. FCI-Standard N° 314 / 19. 10. 2001 / GB as linked in the article clearly says "COLOUR : Distinct patches of clear orange-red colour on white. Orange-red colour should dominate. Black and white, and tricoloured dogs are not admitted. Head pattern : White blaze and orange-red coloured cheeks are preferred." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.99.2.136 (talk) 13:44, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An edit war is looming here... Kweniston (talk) 21:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope not, the look of a kooiker is defined, that's why I asked for removing the other pictures in the first place. Mark —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.99.2.136 (talk) 15:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like several users are trying to change the look of a Kooiker here. Kweniston (talk) 17:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about dogs but I did revert one change by a guy who seems to be a hoaxer. He has written a hoax autobiography article about himself (which is up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sindre Sørhus) and seemed to be sneaking in a vanity picture of himself or a friend as an "owner". This had already been reverted once by somebody else so I thought it safe to revert it again. I hold no opinion on the accuracy of the version I reverted to. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made the same revert again. This time I checked that the images on the reverted version match those on the other language Wikipedias and the text, which they do. However, I also notice that the text is unreferenced. That should be fixed. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Epilepsy[edit]

I think Epilepsy should be added to the list of possible health issues. My first Kooiker developed epilepsy at age two and was managed fairly well with medications for several years. As he grew older the seizures occurred more often. He died one night from a prolonged seizure that could not be stopped even with IV drugs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100C:B223:569C:411C:57A3:396B:91F8 (talk) 03:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement[edit]

@ Cavalryman Going through the to-do list of articles, how do I know what needs improvement, as they all are under wide definition "rewrite, delete etc."? This one has only a template on citation needed. IS there anything else to be done or verification would be enough? You also mentioned in another discussion, that one of the templates was placed in 2010, where do I look for the date? Sorry for stupid question, trying to get my head around things here still. --LoraxJr 21:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
