About Us

Hi, I'm Sheryl Fuller

I have been showing and breeding purebred dogs since 1983. I have titled dogs in conformation, obedience, rally, agility, fly ball and field. Kooikerhondjes became my focus in 2008 with the acquisition of my foundation bitch, UCK CH Vonlin’s Temple of the Winds RE, AX, MXJ, FDCH, CGC.

Since 2008, my goal at Waterbound has been to produce beautiful, companion dogs that are able and willing to compete in all aspects of Kooikerhondje activities. We are a small kennel with a limited but well-planned breeding program. This means that each breeding is of tremendous importance to us and that we concentrate our efforts into caring for and socializing our pups. We follow a unique, state-of-the-art puppy rearing and development program that gives all of our pups, no matter their future, the best possible start in life.

Waterbound Kooikerhondje have each been carefully selected for their diverse pedigrees. Our dogs live in the house with our family as pets first and have been imported from Finland, Hungary, and Switzerland as well as from the United States. Our dogs are tested for all of the recommended health screenings.

We are a small kennel in Alvin, Texas and proud to be an

AKC Breeder of Merit Silver.
