The Keeshond is a medium-sized dog with a tell-tale grey, black and cream-coloured coat and a big fluffy tail. Adults weigh between 35-45 pounds and are very clever, fun and alert. Known traditionally as the Dutch Barge Dog, the Keeshond breed once worked on small boats and barges throughout the Netherlands. A very social dog, the Keeshond loves spending time with people. A good size and temperament for apartment life, this breed prefers not to be left alone and may need training so as not to bark too much at visitors.

Keeshonds are not a common breed, especially outside their native Netherlands, but they wouldn't be considered overly rare either. Their population has seen a steady increase over the years.
While Keeshonds are quite affectionate and easy to train, they require a moderate amount of grooming due to their thick, fluffy coats. So, they can be somewhat high-maintenance in terms of grooming.
The average lifespan of a Keeshond is usually between 12 to 15 years, provided they're well taken care of with a balanced diet, regular vet checkups, and plenty of exercise.
While Keeshonds are generally great dogs, they can be quite vocal, which can come off as excessive barking. They may also suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for extended periods.
In general, Keeshonds have a propensity to bark, especially when they're bored or under-stimulated. They thrive in environments where they're mentally stimulated and given plenty of interaction.
