Keeshond attracts attraction and sympathy with the round and soft appearance
everywhere he goes. He has a smiling and alert expression and his movements
are brisk. First of all he wants to please his owner. Keeshond learns easily
as an intelligent dog.
Keeshond (earlier called as Dutch Spitz) is a medium sized member of the Spitz
family with long and dense coat with different shades of grey. Head and back
are dark in colour. Dense ruff and high set tightly curled tail are light grey.
Head is wedge-shaped in form and should show a definite stop. Ears are small
and close together, triangular in shape and set on high. Eyes are dark and
with well defined 'spectacles'.
Legs are sturdy, straight and with moderate angulation. Feet are small, round
and cat-like.
Conformation is sound and very close to original breed type. Consequently
keeshond is healthy in general.
