Keeshond

Known as the 'Smiling Dutchman,' the Keeshond is a striking companion with a distinctive 'spectacles' marking around its eyes and a thick, plush coat. Originally bred as watchdogs for Dutch canal barges, they are highly social, intelligent, and deeply devoted to their families. Their cheerful disposition and adaptable nature make them excellent family pets that thrive on human interaction.
