Keeshond Dog
Keeshond Dog
Keeshond is an affectionate,
loving, and good natured, dog that loves to be around
his human family. These dogs thrive on attention and
love, and enjoys getting involved in the family fun and
activities. Some Keeshond dogs can be quite demanding in
terms of the affection and attention that they require,
When the Keeshond dog goes without affection, can become
bored and start barking a lot. Spirited and happy, the
Keeshond is a sociable creature, and is very friendly
towards just about everyone. He will bark to raise an
alarm, which can make him a fairly effective watchdog,
but he is too friendly to qualify as a guard dog. Known
as the 'smiling Dutchman' because of the way that he
bares his teeth in a cheerful, grinning fashion, this
dog makes for a great family pet and companion. The
Keeshond is fine for inexperienced dog owners as well as
for the more experienced, but he can have a willful and
independent streak - although training using positive
methods should not prove too much of a problem.
The Keeshond comes in other names
that include Keeshonden, Wolfspitz or Chien Loup. It is
a medium-sized dog whose physical features make it look
like it’s a toy wolf and a small lion combined. This
huggable small dog has lion-like tresses in its neck,
shoulders, and chest (if a male) and a face with
fox-like expression. It has oblique eyes in deep
reddish-brown color, erect triangle-shaped ears, and
medium-length plumed tail. Another Keeshond distinction
is its spectacles, which give out the expression.
Spectacles are actually delicate dark lines slanting
from the corner of the eyes towards the ears, giving the
dog shadings in its orbital area.
