The Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show in Macungie, Pa. included a Keeshonden specialty show hosted by the Keeshond Club of Delaware Valley.  Here’s one of the MANY Keeshond [pronounced “Caze-hawnd”] in attendance that day!  This is a beautiful breed and just today I learned why the “en” is sometimes added to the name.  Keeshonden is used to indicate more than one Keeshond.  The breed originated in Germany and is a member of the Spitz family.  No, not Mark Spitz, but the Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Finnish Spitz, Chow Chow, Pomeranian, Samoyed, Siberian Husky, etc.   Throughout history the Keeshond has been bred to be a companion dog and they prefer to be indoors, with their people!
