Kooikerhondjes Van Den Iserman Hoeve

Kooikerhondjes Van Den Iserman Hoeve raises Nederlandse kooikerhondjes in Ogden, Illinois, in the heart of central Illinois near Champaign-Urbana. The kennel is run by the Knoop-Paganin family and carries deep personal roots in the breed — the founders grew up with kooikerhondjes in Friesland, the Netherlands, and imported the kennel's first pair directly from the Netherlands in 2010.

The kennel name itself comes from a Frisian family name, and the dogs reflect that heritage: the program focuses on preserving the true Nederlandse kooikerhondje in terms of size, temperament, function, and health, working closely with preservation breeders and the Dutch breed club. The kennel holds membership in both the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje Club of the USA and the Dutch parent club, Vereniging Het Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. Dogs are bred to the written standard, including correct size and untrimmed presentation.

The dogs at Iserman Hoeve live as house dogs across three adjoining family homes on a country property with a river running along the back, where the kooikerhondjes have room to swim and run. Prospective families are matched to puppies through a questionnaire and the Volhard temperament test rather than allowing buyers to self-select. The program has produced conformation-titled dogs, including the #1 owner-handled Nederlandse kooikerhondje in 2022. Those searching for a Nederlandse kooikerhondje breeder in Illinois will find this program among the most established in the region.
