About Keeshond Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Keeshond, originating in the Netherlands, is a medium sized spitz in the Non Sporting Group, historically serving as a barge dog and watchful companion on Dutch riverboats. Standing 17-18 inches tall and weighing 35-45 pounds, they are sturdy and foxy faced with a plush double coat in shaded gray, black, and cream, accented by distinctive spectacles around the eyes. Grooming requires weekly brushing, more during heavy seasonal sheds, plus routine nail and dental care. Friendly, lively, and outgoing, the smiling Dutchman thrives on moderate daily exercise and close family life, excelling with children and other pets.
