Welcome To Keeshond Kountry!

Tall Tails

We're All Keeshond Krazy!!!

Thank you for visiting, my name is Terri and I'm a proud Keeshond owner and passionate fan (if you couldn't tell already!) This particular slice of Cyber Space is dedicated to the Keeshond Dog Breeder, Owner and Lover in all of us. Anybody who has yet to meet a Keeshond has the potential to have their smile widened and heart melted at the drop of a bone. These curiously sweet animals are known for their friendliness, intelligence and especially, boundless companionship.

The Keeshond (pronounced "Kayz"-"Hond") is characterized by an adorable raccoon-type face and generously dispersed thick, puffy, creamy hair from tail to hock called "pantaloons" which garnered this attention-loving and easygoing creature the nickname "Fuzz Butt" way back when.

The first Keeshond was registered with The American Kennel Club in 1930 under "Keeshonden," in the Non-Sporting Group and The Keeshond Club of America, as it was later named, was organized in 1935. The Keeshond is a very old breed, and one of the very few which throughout history have always been raised for family companions and watchdogs. The fact that they have not been bred to hunt, kill animals, attack or chase criminals undoubtedly accounts for their gentle, intelligent devotion to their owners as home-loving dogs with a special fondness for children, for which they are renowned.

As you can see, much is to be learned and admired concerning the Kees breed and although this site is currently under complete ressurection, be rest assured that the information to be found within these pages will aid all Keeshond Lovers in their thirst for knowledge and quest for the ultimate relationship with this miracle of nature. I hope you'll stop back by soon!
