KEESHOND

History - The national dog of Holland, the keeshond was used as a watchdog on river barges in the 16th century.

Temperament - Lovable, gentle, affectionate, and adaptable, keeshonden are ideal family dogs. They are are alert and do very well in obedience classes as long as they are kept focused with firm but gentle handling.  They get along with other animals and enjoy the company of children. Keeshonden are friendly to strangers but will bark to let the household know that a visitor has arrived.

Upkeep - To avoid severe matting, the keeshond needs to be brushed daily. This dog does not need a lot of exercise - a short, brisk walk will suffice.

Size - height 16-19 inches, weight 35-40 pounds.
