Versorging
Temperament
Keeshonden are friendly, outgoing and very attached to their people. They are good watchdogs that announce visitors but generally welcome them afterwards.
Oefening
A daily walk of about an hour plus play suits most adults. They enjoy obedience, agility, rally and family outings.
Versorging
The dense double coat needs thorough brushing two or three times a week and daily during the heavy seasonal moult. Do not shave it.
Opleiding
They are bright and eager to please, responding well to gentle, positive methods. Teach a quiet cue early to manage barking.
Gesondheid
Hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, hypothyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism are known in the breed. Ask the breeder for hip, knee, eye and DNA results.

Oor die ras
The Keeshond is the wolf-grey member of the German Spitz family and became especially linked to the Netherlands, where it guarded barges and farms in the 18th century. Under the FCI it is the Wolfspitz, part of the German Spitz standard, though it is widely known by its Dutch name.
Keeshonden are sociable, people-focused dogs that like being in the middle of family life. They are alert and will bark at arrivals, but they are rarely sharp. The thick coat makes them comfortable in cold weather and less so in heat. They usually do best in homes where someone is around for much of the day.
Het jy geweet?
The name is linked to Cornelis (Kees) de Gyselaer, an 18th-century Dutch Patriot leader whose spitz became a symbol of his party.
