The Keeshond Dog Breed Facts And Information You Need To Know

The Keeshond is a dog that can live in an apartment as long as frequent long walks are available. She is fairly active indoors and makes a good watch dog because she generally likes to bark. She is great with older, considerate children and wants to be a part of the family. As reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with a puppy or dog. She can be fine with other dogs and pets, especially if extensively socialized early. She loves everyone, especially her human family.
Approximate Adult Size
The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the Keeshond is 17 to 19 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 35 to 40 pounds. The females range a bit smaller then the males.
