Breed History

Keeshond was named after Dutch Patriot, Cornelis (Kees) de Gyselaer, who was the leader of the rebellion against the House of Orange in the 18th century.

There are debates over its origin, while some believe it originated from the Netherlands, another school of thought is of the opinion that it is part of the German Spitz family.

Spending time with its loved ones makes it really happy. Keeshond is an attention seeker that likes interrupting when ignored.

Environment

It will do well in any home as long as it has lots of interaction with its owner, home with kids is a great environment for the Keeshond.

Exercise

The Keeshond enjoys a dog walk moment with its family and will most likely jump in excitement once it is walk time, a short run or jog does the magic on its body.

If walking along a particular route gets boring, you can spice things up by walking a different route or simply taking the Keeshond along to that park meeting with a friend

Grooming

The Keeshond has a coat that requires less frequent bathing due to its self-cleaning nature and minimal odor. For dogs below the age of 7, it is advised to bathe every three weeks while for others above 7 years, baths should be every 4 to 6 weeks. Weekly brushing is also required and keeps the Keeshond looking good.
