The Keeshond:
Our dogs have a very friendly nature, are very affectionate
and that means ofcourse they are also very healthy. The markings are silver and black, the heads have very good markings,
which also means they have spectacles!
As I said before: "They are bred with thought, reared with love
and shown with pride!!

The Prefix:
Why did we choose the prefix "Suitkees"?
Because of the pronounciation, Kees in Dutch is pronounced
as "case" as in Suitcase - a travelingbag-.
One of our logo's is:
"Suits young and old,
Suits country and town,
Suits any case". |

Pet's names
We look for a name as the puppie behaves, preferable
in Dutch, as it is wellknown as a "Dutch Breed".
Pet Personality.
A Keeshond likes to be part of the family, he knows
it's place in the ruddle, he will always come last, specially if there are kids in the family, but he doesn't want to be locked
out.
He is a Compagnion Dog.
He is very active and therefore a great children's friend.
And he is a great believer in regularity.
As this breed - The Keeshond - is never bred to
hunt or to kill, they will never attack.

Apperance.
The Kees needs grooming, not a lot, but at least 3 times a week.
A proper coat should be somewhat harsh and outstanding and therefore shouldn't
knot. In the warm summerweather, a good brushing is appreciated by the dogs. After swimming they should be rinsed with clean
water and brushed till dry.
The coat acts as insulation in hot weather. Therefore it is cruel to shave, they
will feel the heat so much more.
Bag of Tricks.
A Keeshond is like a cat, he likes to immitate, that's why he learns quickly from
kids.
They are also very smart and know how to get your attention.
But they also like to please you, so the normal obedience is quickly accepted,
although sometimes you have to be firm.
Teaching manners.
If your kees has done something you don't like, let
hem know by ignoring him, and turn your back on him for a while, they really hate that and it's the same for them as being
"hang out to dry".
