About the Keeshond

The Keeshond is a medium dog breed originating in Netherlands. Adult dogs typically weigh 35 to 45 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. The breed is described as friendly, people-bonded, alert, eager-to-please.

Families wanting a friendly, sociable spitz and willing to commit to regular brushing of the heavy coat. A people-oriented companion. Hot climates, dense condos where alert barking bothers neighbours, or homes that leave the dog alone for long stretches.

Adult Keeshonds need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is double-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
