Raça Keeshond
Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
País de origem: Holanda
Características:
Keeshond é uma raça canina muito antiga e uma das poucas que, através da história, sempre foi criada para companhia e guarda.
O fato deles não terem sido criados para caçar, matar animais, atacar ou perseguir criminosos, explica-se por sua docilidade e devoção a seus donos como um cão caseiro, com especial afeição por crianças, característica pela qual ele é reconhecido.
O filhote é irresistível, parece um pequeno urso de pelúcia, entretanto, eles crescem e é preciso entender algumas características da raça para manter um ótimo relacionamento com o seu Keeshond.
“O Keeshond é um cão dócil e brincalhão, gosta de crianças e de outros animais”. É também, muito sociável e é necessário que faça parte da família e que receba carinho como qualquer outro membro da família, nunca deve ser preso fora de casa.
É muito enérgico e precisa de um grande quintal ou caminhadas diárias, principalmente enquanto filhote. O Keeshond sempre procura avisar sobre a aproximação de pessoas estranhas à família.
Alguns cuidados com a pelagem são necessários para mantê-lo limpo e bonito. Recomenda-se escovação semanal e banhos, pelo menos, bimestrais.
O Keeshond é descendente dos mesmos ancestrais dos quais evoluíram raças como os Samoiedas, Huskys, Elkhounds, e os Lulus da Pomerânia. Aparentemente, vieram para a Europa com antigos viajantes do Norte, há muitos séculos.
Nos séculos XVII e XVIII, eles foram muito usados como cães de guarda em fazendas, barcaças e grandes barcos nos rios. Eram conhecidos na Alemanha, França, Itália e Holanda com nomes diversos. Porém, na Holanda do século XVIII, surgiu dentre a classe média um grupo de resistência que se opunha ao poder reinante. O líder desse movimento tinha um cão chamado "Kees" que passou a ser o símbolo da coragem do novo partido. O cão alcançou uma grande popularidade naquele país, e a raça passou a ser conhecida como "Keeshond" por toda a Europa, e tornou-se o cão nacional da Holanda.
Temperamento:
É um cão forte, cordial e inteligente. Conhecido por sua docilidade e atenção para com o dono e a família. Demonstra muita afeição por crianças. É obediente, ativo e sociável.

Breed Keeshond
Keeshond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keeshond:
Distinct characteristics of Keeshonden include a lion like ruff, spectacles, small and dark triangular ears, definite contrast, and a thick double coat.
Nicknames Kees
Country of origin Netherlands
The Keeshond (/ˈkeɪz.hɒnd/ kayz-hond; plural: Keeshonden) is a medium-sized dog with a plush two-layer coat of silver and black fur with a ruff and a curled tail. It originated in the Netherlands, and its closest relatives are the German spitzes such as the Großspitz, Mittelspitz, and Kleinspitz or Pomeranian. Originally called the German Spitz, more specifically the Wolfspitz, the name was officially changed to Keeshond, in 1926 in England, where it had been known as the Dutch Barge Dog.
Appearance:
A member of the spitz group of dogs, the Keeshond in American Kennel Club (AKC) standard is 17 inches (43 cm) to 18 inches (46 cm) tall and 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) ± 2.4 inches (6.1 cm) in the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) standard and weighs 30 pounds (14 kg) to 40 pounds (18 kg). Sturdily built, they have a typical spitz appearance, neither coarse nor refined. They have a wedge-shaped head, a medium-length muzzle with a definite stop, small pointed ears, and an expressive face. The tail is tightly curled and, in profile, should be carried such that it is indistinguishable from the compact body of the dog.
Temperament:
Keeshonden tend to be very playful, with quick reflexes and strong jumping ability. They are quick learners and eager to please. Because Keeshonden are quick learners, they also learn things you did not necessarily wish to teach them—very quickly. However, Keeshonden make excellent agility and obedience dogs. So amenable to proper training is this bright, sturdy dog that Keeshonden have been successfully trained to serve as guide dogs for the blind; only their lack of size has prevented them from being more widely used in this role.
They love children and are excellent family dogs, preferring to be close to their humans whenever possible. They generally get along with other dogs as well and will enjoy a good chase around the yard. Keeshonden are very intuitive and empathetic and are often used as comfort dogs. Most notably, at least one Keeshond, Tikva, was at Ground Zero on 9/11 to help comfort the rescue workers. The breed has a tendency to become especially clingy towards their owners, even in comparison to other dogs. If their owner is out, or in another room behind a closed door, they may sit, waiting for their owner to reappear, even if there are other people nearby. Many have been referred to as their "owner's shadow," or "velcro dogs".
They are known by their loud, distinctive bark. Throughout the centuries, the Keeshond has been very popular as a watch dog on barges on canals in the Netherlands and middle Europe. This trait is evident to this day, and they are alert dogs that warn their owners of any new visitors. Although loud and alert, Keeshonden are not aggressive towards visitors. They generally welcome visitors affectionately once their family has accepted them. Unfortunately, barking may become a problem if not properly handled. Keeshonden that are kept in a yard, and not allowed to be with their humans, are unhappy and often become nuisance barkers.
History
The Keeshond was named after the 18th-century Dutch Patriot, Cornelis (Kees) de Gyselaer (spelled 'Gijzelaar' in Modern Dutch), leader of the rebellion against the House of Orange. The dog became the rebels' symbol; and, when the House of Orange returned to power, this breed almost disappeared. The word 'keeshond' is a compound word: 'Kees' is a nickname for Cornelius (de Gyselaer), and 'hond' is the Dutch word for dog. In the Netherlands, "keeshond" is the term for German Spitzes that encompass them all from the toy or dwarf (Pomeranian) to the Wolfspitz (Keeshond). The sole difference among the German Spitzes is their coloring and size guidelines. Although many American references point to the Keeshond as we know it originating in the Netherlands, the breed is cited as being part of the German Spitz family, originating in Germany along with the Pomeranian (toy or dwarf German Spitz) and American Eskimo dog (small or standard German Spitz) according to the FCI.
The first standard for "Wolfspitze" was posted at the Dog Show of 1880 in Berlin. The Club for German Spitzes was founded in 1899. The German standard was revised in 1901 to specify the characteristic color that we know today, "silver grey tipped with black". In the late 19th century the "Overweight Pomeranian", a white German Spitz and most likely a Standard German Spitz, was shown in the British Kennel Club. The "Overweight Pomeranian" was no longer recognized by the British Kennel Club in 1915. In the 1920s, Baroness van Hardenbroeck took an interest in the breed and began to build it up again. The Nederlandse Keeshond Club was formed in 1924. The Dutch Barge Dog Club of England was formed in 1925 by Mrs. Wingfield-Digby and accepted into the British Kennel Club in 1926, when the breed and the club were renamed to Keeshond.
Carl Hinderer is credited with bringing his Schloss Adelsburg Kennel, which he founded in 1922 in Germany, with him to America in 1923. His German Champion Wolfspitz followed him two by two in 1926. At that time, less than ten years after World War I, Germany was not regarded fondly in England and America; and the Wolfspitz/Keeshond was not recognized by the AKC. Consequently, Carl had to register each puppy with his club in Germany. Despite this, Carl joined the Maryland KC and attended local shows.
Carl regularly wrote to the AKC, including the New York headquarters, to promote the Wolfspitz. While going through New York on his way to Germany in 1930, Carl visited the AKC offices and presented Wachter, his Germany champion, to AKC President, Dr. DeMond, who promptly agreed to start the recognition process, with some caveats including changing the name to Keeshond, and asked Carl to bring back all the relevant data from Germany. Carl also translated the German standard to English for the AKC. The Keeshond was accepted for AKC registration in 1930.
