Information You Need Before Getting One Of The Keeshond Puppies

By Jennifer Stevens


If you are looking for a companion breed that is a people-lover, loyal to the family and willing to go along with any family activities this breed is for you. Keeshond puppies are just such a dog, as well as being very intelligent and alert. There may be no greater dog as a pet. They are not work dogs, but rather companions and loyal family dogs.

A medium-sized dog with a thick, handsome coat in three colors, he is very beautiful but doesn't tolerate hot weather well. He prefers cooler weather or lying under the air conditioner in warmer weather. He has a large, beautiful tail that matches his coat, giving him a very regal look. Because he is so friendly, he doesn't make a very good guard dog.

This breed requires a good bit of attention. You can't just put it outside and ignore it. He requires steady attention from its owner, and will become bored and gets lonely easily. When he is bored, he is prone to bark a lot and cause a disturbance. He is social and requires interaction with his family members to be happy.

The overthrow of a political party brought about the disapproval of this breed. Most were destroyed, with very few survivors. This scarcity continued until 1905 until they were again discovered. A young English girl found them and convinced her parents to take two of them back to England. They were the beginning of the breed that was recognized in 1926.

In Holland, the breed did not revive until a baroness became interested in them. She found that they were being bred by working people and farmers. She began breeding them herself and promoted them throughout Europe. The Dutch Keeshond Club was formed in 1939 and the breed became in vogue. This was the year that the Keeshond was first registered with the American Kennel Club, followed by the formation of the Keeshond Club of America.

Weighing at approximately 35 to 45 pounds, Keeshonds are medium in size and have a very pleasant personality. They are friends with others, with no desire to hunt or do any chores like some dogs. He just wants to be a friend and companion. Highly intelligent and trainable, he can sometimes be a little naughty and playful, but still behaving in an acceptable manner.

Though your puppy is a very sociable animal, it is important to expose him early to lots of people and experiences. A puppy kindergarten class can meet this need, in addition to inviting friends over regularly and taking him to dog parks, pet stores that allow dogs, and on neighborhood walks. These walks benefit both you and your dog.

Though the breed is basically a healthy one, they do have some specific health issues. Two that are hereditary are Addison's and hip dysplasia. Addison's is a lack of sufficient adrenal hormones. Early stages show as poor appetite and vomiting, with lethargy. It can evolve to the heart and cause ultimate death. Hip dysplasia is a lack of tight fit between the hip and thigh. This can cause pain and lameness. Since these two are hereditary, these animals should never be bred. There are less common diseases, that can cause less trouble. However, when buying a puppy, be sure to have it tested for these two diseases, plus any others reasonably suspected.
