Keeshonden are the best! I've had 3 over many years. Smart, loyal, affectionate, easy to train, great watchdogs. And they don't have a vicious bone in their body. They get along great with other dogs, cats, even ferrets! They have a very non threatening attitude with other animals. Currently I have a 10 y/o male Keeshond and a 10 month old female Shih-tzu and they totally love each other. He lets her be the boss!
My Keesie boy, Sgt. Pepper, is loud… stubborn… bossy… lazy… a nightmare to groom. And I love him. (Btw…. He loves me back, and shows me every day.) He’s a perfect dog… in every way.
While grey is the standard color and meets the breed standards for a show dog, about 1:800 to 1:1000 are born and grow up pure black or white, fewer an apricot color. Breeders used to cull (kill) these pups, but in the past decade or so it was realized that they are useful as they add to the genetic diversity and help prevent some of the genetic diseases that are caused by inbreeding. I have over the past 40 years had two black Keeshonden, both males.
I think the Keeshound was originally an aristocratic dog, after the battle of orange they found a home on the boats for their alert bark and compact size
Please stop calling our breed quichehond… or Keesh hond… or keesh hound… They are called Kay’s hond. As people called Cornelius in Dutch often get the nick name for the letter k which is pronounced Kays. In essence K’s dog or K’s hond.
You’re right of course, and I pronounce it correctly whenever I’m asked about the breed of my pup. The only problem is that it became most tedious to correct people who have learned (and internalized) the incorrect pronunciation. And that’s fairly common, btw…. even among people you might feel should know better…. such as those in the veterinary field, breeders, trainers, groomers, and even long-time Keeshond owners. The point is…. Even if you don’t agree to join ‘em, why fight ‘em? A Keeshond by any other name is still a Keeshond. And still a wonderful breed. It’s just that some folks have cringe-worthy Dutch accents. (My French is pretty rusty too. But, C’est la vie. N’est-ce pas?)
@@1staricy2night Ok, I appreciate your video - but this is SUCH a lovely breed, if you take the time to make a video about them, why not make the effort to educate people about the proper pronunciation. EVERYONE who is the lucky parent of a Keeshond knows that answering questions is part of the deal... " what kind of dog is that??" "Is that a Chow??" "Do you need to brush them every day??" It's just part of the deal, and these lovely lovely dogs deserve the effort.
people get scared when my Keeshond smiles until they see how excited he is.
I was walking my first one in the park and some small children started screaming " wolf momma WOLF"

This is a Dutch breed so please pronounce it correctly. it is Kays:hondt or "Case" "Hond" with a long "O" which is Dutch for Dog.
Keeshonds look so cute. If I could afford a pet I would consider getting one.

Giusto per la neve 👍🏻🤙🏻
Kees doesn’t sound like piece or peace, but (exactly) like ‘case’.

I pronounce it how it sounds and no one really cares. Don't think I have ever had anyone care for the 30 plus years I have been around them.

99% of Keeshond owners know that the breed is pronounced Kayz-hond
99% of owners don't know how the eyes or the nose of their dog looks like? Look for another career, that's an embarrassing video
