  • Finnish Spitz Breed Standard
    GROUP II HOUNDS II-11 Finnish Spitz Origin and Purpose The Finnish Spitz is the national dog of Finland, and is the object of intense national pride. It is said that the breed reflects the verve and vitality necessary for survival in the Scandinavian north. Since earliest times it has been used as a natural bark-pointer for hunting small game and game birds. General Appearance The Finnish Spitz, with its glorious red-gold coat, bold carriage, and lively expression, presents a fox-like picture. It has a squarish, symmetrical body with no exaggerated features. The pointed muzzle, small erect ears, dense coat, and curled tail denote its northern heritage. The dog’s whole being shows liveliness, especially the eyes, ears, and tail. Males should be decidedly masculine in appearance without coarseness. Females should be decidedly feminine in appearance without over-refinement. Temperament Active and alert, but reserved and sensitive. Traditionally, the Finnish Spitz is courageous, but, like a creature of the forest, that courage is tem pered with caution. Size Dogs are from 17-1/2 -19-1/2 inches (44-50 cm) at the shoulder, weighing from 31-35 lb. (14-16 kg). The bitches are 15-1/2 -17-1/2 inches (39-45 cm) at the shoulder, weighing from 22-29 lb. (10-13 kg). Coat and Colour The Finnish Spitz is double-coated. On the head and front of the legs the coat is short and close. On the body and back of legs it is coarse, longish, and semi-erect or erect. It is stiffer on the neck and back.

  • The Keeshond…A Smiling Touch of Dutch by Origin, It Is a Member Of
    The Keeshond…A Smiling Touch of Dutch By origin, it is a member of the spitz family of dogs and is related to the Norwegian Elkhound, The Chow Chow, the Finnish Spitz and the Pomeranian. The Spitz breed is characterized by a long, dense coat, erect, pointed ears and a tail that curls over the back. The Keeshond takes its name from "Kees" a dog owned by Cornelius de Gyzelaar (Kees was the nickname for Cornelius). Gyzelaar was the leader of the Patriot Party in politically torn, 18th century Holland. Because Kees was Gyzelaar’s constant companion, the dog became the symbol of the Patriot Party. The Pug was the official dog of the ruling opposition - the House of Orange. This decree occurred in 1572 after one saved the live of Prince William at the battle for Hermingny. The Pug woke up the sleeping prince by barking just before the enemy attacked. After the House of Orange successfully quelled a revolt by the Patriot Party, most Dutch no longer were eager to be associated with the rebellion of the defeated Patriot Party. Fearing for their own well-being, they abandoned their Keeshonden. A few farmers and barge captains kept their dogs. Unfortunately , the breed’s safe haven aboard the barges was short lived. With the development of larger vessels, larger breeds could be accommodated aboard them. Thus the Keeshond population further declined to the point of near extinction by the early 19th century. The Keeshond finally enjoyed a revival in popularity in the 1920’s at English shows were bred by J.D.
