Summary
The Keeshond is an old breed, once a companion and watchdog on the barges and boats that traveled the canals and rivers of Holland in the 17th and 18th centuries. He’s almost exclusively a companion dog today. He’s a people-lover; willing to participate in all family activities, he thrives with people who expect this of their dog.
He is lively, alert, and intelligent–qualities that won him status as the most beloved dog in Holland. Full Keeshond profile on DogTime.com
