• WHEN WE SAY OUR DOGS ARE HEALTH TESTED YOU CAN VERIFY OUR RESULTS PUBLICLY ON THE OFA WEBSITE. WE LIST ALL OF OUR DOGS. All of our Keeshonds are FULLY Health tested at the appropriate age and PHPT tested. Some Large scale breeders have litters before their dogs have had the health testing done. Do your homework and ask if testing is completed prior to sire or dam being bred. These breeders have litters to satisfy supply in demand and do not have the best interest of the breed in mind. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FANCY WEBSITES AND SMOOTH TALKERS.

• Visit the OFA website to view the current testing status performed for our Keeshonds.

• A Breeder should invest time into their dogs, it is not about just breeding, they should be a member of at the least an all breed club. Proud member of the Gloucester County Kennel Club and the Keeshond Club of America.

OUR PUPPIES WERE CHOSEN TO FEATURE BY THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB

SOME OF WHAT WE DO

RALLY... Think of an AKC Rally event as any team sport: You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, as you steer him through a course of 10-20 different signs. Each of these signs provides instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. The dog and handler move continuously throughout the course with the dog under control at the handler’s left side. There is a clear sense of teamwork between the dog and handler both during and between the numbered signs. Although each performance is timed, having a good race time is not the goal; it’s all about working as a team while performing the skills, with the dog under control.

FAST CAT... Although it is a relatively new sport, its popularity has spread like wildfire. FCAT is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. It’s over before you know it — and it’s nothing short of awe-inspiring to watch your dog run at top speed, ears back, eyes focused, legs strong.

Conformation... The official term for dog shows is conformation — as in, the act of conforming or producing conformity. While a dog show may look like a beauty pageant, it’s not. Dogs are not being compared to each other; they’re being measured by how closely they conform to the standard of their particular breed. Why? Because the closer a dog’s appearance is to the breed’s standard, the better that dog’s ability will be to produce puppies that meet the standard. It’s also the reason why mixed breeds and spayed or neutered purebreds are ineligible to compete in conformation.

We believe the "Keeshond" can have it "all", great temperament, great health and excellent beauty. We are loved and owned by some very special "Keeshonden". WE ARE NOT A BREEDING KENNEL, PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE US WITH OTHERS, we keep a very short wait list for future puppies because we do not have keeshond puppies readily available and when we decide to breed we do ALL of the health testing to make sure our dogs are sound prior to breeding. Our dogs live in our home & are underfoot on a daily basis. There are no kennels in our home, that is the difference. The dogs really do live in our home and are a part of the family. You can come and visit and meet all of our dogs, our door is always open. We register our dogs with the American Kennel Club and we adhere to the American Kennel Club code of ethics. We will refer to reputable breeders, Beware of BYB (Backyard breeders ) or HVB ( high volume) breeders who advertise on pet selling internet sites.
The testing which is recommended for the Keeshond Breed is as follows: If the Keeshond Breeder you are looking at does not do these tests and have results readily available look elsewhere. You can also check www.offa.org using the registered name of the dog to check on health testing.

We do not breed on a regular basis, but when we do decide to have a litter we carefully take the time to pick out and research something that we would like to have. If you are looking for a puppy from Clingmey and we do not have a litter planned do not worry we can refer you to a reputable Keeshond breeder or place you on a puppy waiting list. When looking at other breeds in the "spitz" family, the "Keeshond" is less yappy with their bark, they are intelligent and intuitive. Bright and happy the Keeshond needs moderate exercise and companionship. Keeshonden are very people-oriented, they crave attention and love to be part of a family. So whether you spell it Keeshound, Keeshounds, Keyshounds, Keyshond all in all what you get is a happy keeshond puppy.The Keeshond name may be mispronounced Kay sawn, Case-hond, Kas-hond, Keys-hând, Keesh-ond, Keesh-hond, Keeshond, and Keesh-hound.

"Keeshond puppies" are very playful and mischievious and early socialization is important to build an outgoing, confident temperament. Keeshonds will bark, they have excellent hearing. Keeshonds normally get along with other pets in the household.

"Kees" are also known as the "Smiling Dutchman" "Wolfspitz" "dutch barge dog" once you see they curl the lip and show their teeth in a funny grin you will see the difference. It is definately a smile.. Keeshonds can be trained for almost anything, Service dogs, Therapy Dogs, they have a very high intelligence and love to please their owners. Two  of my past puppies are Pet therapy certified, what a wonderful accomplishment for this breed.

      

   

The Keeshond is a very old breed, and have always been raised for watchdogs and family companions. Never being bred to hunt, kill other animals etc. accounts for their gentleness and intelligence. They are devoted to their family as home loving dogs and have a special kind of love for children. The first Keeshond was registered with the AKC in 1930 under Keeshonden in the Non-Sporting group.
