Sometimes "Kooiker" dogs were also used.

By the end of World War II these dogs were nearly extinct.
Only sixteen were left.
The breed has been revived through the efforts of a baroness.

Bakhuzen

Bakhuzen wha kindy ferjitte
Dy’t ien kear teach troch Gaasterlân
Hjin kin’t in panorama hjitte
Dat skildse waard troch hegerhân

Dy hichten mei har griene koppen
Dy lichten mei har fleurich fé
Dy rogge en weet yn swiere toppen
Dy Skippen op `e wiide see

Hoe wûndere moai dat allegearre
Hwa soe dêr foar om utens gean
Waard eigen mar hwat mear wurdearre
Men liet it fremde faker stean.

Music: Sjouke Ymes van der Wal.
Lyrics: Bouke Harmens de Vries.

Music and singing was a very important part of our lives.

My neighbors the Yme and Dora van der Wal family did plenty of it.

It was in their genes and they have passed it on to their offspring

for more than one generation.
