Okay, so -- Keeshond. What do you guys know about this breed? I'm thinking of adopting one from the local shelter, but I'd like to hear about some firsthand experiences that people have had.

(Pulling up information on Wikipedia doesn't count.)

Picture very related.

I had a Keeshond growing up! Beautiful animals, very trainable if you start them early; they like to lead, so if you're not okay with him taking you for a walk when you go out, get him leash-trained as soon as possible.

You really need to keep up with brushing their coat. They technically have "two" coats. It's very rare to find some with a defective coat (only "one"), but it is possible. You'll notice since they're not as fluffy. But, yes. That kind of dog needs to be brushed a lot. They're very sweet and like to cuddle, too.

I can't provide first-hand experiences, but, first off, THANK you for adopting; so few people around here seem to care.
Also, get a furminator brush if you get the dog. It helps tremendously in the grooming of double-coated dogs; I have a samoyed mix and it's the only brush I need.

My Dad was in love with those dogs. We had a series of three of them throughout my life. I really hope you live someplace with cold weather because we moved from Baltimore to Texas and the poor things hated this heat down here. Once in a while when it snowed they would go crazy outside. Overall, they're really great dogs.

Hair. Hair further than the eye can see. Expect your entire house and backyard to be coated with white undercoat twice a year.

Beautiful and lovely dogs in all ways, but their maintenance level is over 9000 as stated above. Free protip: if you can't handle it, don't get one, even if it causes massive DAWWWWWs.
