Keeshonds are predisposed to hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, hypothyroidism, and epilepsy, along with a documented risk of Addison's disease. Regular OFA and eye clearances are standard for breeding dogs.
A quality diet in measured portions; standard weight management applies with no unusual dietary needs.
The thick double coat sheds heavily, especially during seasonal blowouts, and needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting.
Keeshonds are people-oriented and generally easy to train with positive reinforcement, though the breed's vocal nature (a strong watchdog bark) benefits from early training if barking becomes excessive.
The Keeshond was developed in the Netherlands as a companion and watchdog on the barges and canal boats that moved goods through Dutch waterways — unlike many of its spitz relatives, it was never bred for hunting or fighting. The breed's name comes from Cornelis ("Kees") de Gyselaer, an 18th-century Dutch patriot whose dog became a symbol of his political faction, making the Keeshond an enduring symbol of Dutch national identity. The AKC recognized the breed in 1930.
Distinguished by the dark "spectacle" markings around its eyes, the Keeshond is a genuinely people-oriented breed — bred purely for companionship and watchdog duty, with a friendly, alert temperament rather than a working drive.
