Keeshond
The Keeshond is a spitz-type breed of dog that originated in the Netherlands.
It was originally bred as a watchdog and companion, and is known for its thick, plush coat and fox-like face.
The breed dates back to the 18th century, when it was used as a watchdog on barges and boats along the Rhine River.
It was named after the Dutch patriot Kees de Gyselaer, who led the Dutch Patriot Party during the 1780s.
The Keeshond quickly became popular among Dutch families, and was even adopted as the mascot of the Dutch Patriot Party.
In the early 20th century, the breed's popularity spread to other parts of Europe and North America.
Today, the Keeshond is a beloved family pet, known for its intelligence, loyalty, and playful nature.
Its thick coat requires regular grooming, but its cheerful personality and devotion to its owners make it a rewarding companion.
