Nelleke Lara van de Kooiker Express
Dutch and Proud of It!
Go Orange or Go Home!
Nelle took to the training that her owner provided. She participated in Kooikerhondje dog shows in Germany and agility courses. Nelle, always eager to be the best dog in all of Europe, wanted more. She nudged her owner for more challenging adventures. Nelle's owner obliged her.
Nelle took to the screen and magazines like a fashion model. (If given the chance Nelle knows she could beat Tira Banks and the rest to be top model in the world.) Nelle's intelligence, easy attitude, and eager to please demeanor meant that she was easy to work with for directors and photographers. Nelle starred in numerous television shows and films. She was the star of a media campaign for an internet company in Germany.

Don't Miss Out On What This Kooiker Diva Will Do Next
Born in 1998 in the Netherlands, the home of the Kooikerhondje, Nelleke Lara van de Kooiker Express (aka Nelle) moved to Munich, Germany when she was just eight weeks old.
She grew up as the faithful and loyal Kooiker to a medical student. Her owner, an avid mountain hiker and outdoors person, had searched long and wide for the perfect dog to fit her active lifestyle. So, Nelle joined her on hikes in the Alps. Yes, she has been master of Austria and Bavaria as she stood atop the Kaiser Wilder and other mountain tops.

Nelle knew that the glitter and bright lights (not to mention the rock and roll lifestyle) quickly burn out. She wanted to give back to her community. So she left the glamour to become a Search and Rescue dog.
Joining the ASB in Munich, Nelle trained to search for missing persons and rescues those trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building. While the Police and first responders would snicker when they saw her compared to the Great Danes, German Shepards, and other large breeds, Nelle earned their respect through her hard work.

Nelle has traveled much of Europe and North America. In 2006, Nelle decided she wanted to head West and moved to the United States. She has retired from her rescue work and now manages her owner's career. While she still loves the thrill of the search and being in the woods, Nelle is enjoying her retirement vacations across the United States and Canada.
