The Keeshond is a great family dog -- outgoing, good with children, and a fine watchdog. In fact, the Keeshond was bred as a family dog and to "sound the alarm" - not to hunt. They live to be a part of the family and will develop poor habits if not included. The Keeshond is very energetic and probably not a good fit for the less active owner. Daily brushing, while not required, is recommended. Expect two heavy periods of shedding in the fall and spring of the year.
