Update: Canine Chronicle Virtual Dog Show – You Be The Judge – Keeshond
It is time to put your thinking caps on! For today’s Virtual Dog Show, we are asking our readers to be the judge and place the follow Keeshonden First, Second and Third AND to tell us why.
The complete AKC Official Standard for the Keeshond is available online here. As quoted from the AKC Standard, the general appearance of the Keeshond is as follows:
The Keeshond (pronounced kayz – hawnd) is a natural, handsome dog of well – balanced, short – coupled body, attracting attention not only by his coloration, alert carriage, and intelligent expression, but also by his stand – off coat, his richly plumed tail well curled over his back, his foxlike expression, and his small pointed ears. His coat is very thick around the neck, fore part of the s houlders and chest, forming a lion – like ruff – more profuse in the male. His rump and hind legs, down to the hocks, are also thickly coated, forming the characteristic “trousers.” His head, ears, and lower legs are covered with thick, short hair.
UPDATE: Our at home judges overwhelmingly chose Dog C as their First Place. Some breed experts preferred Dog A. Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation!
