Keeshonds are a medium-sized breed related to the Samoyed and the Pomeranian, according to the American Kennel Club. They are intelligent, active and friendly dogs--and may be hard to locate in your area. These dogs are not as popular as Labrador retrievers or German shepherds, but finding one can be a worthwhile endeavor because they make a wonderful family pet and childhood companion.
Instructions
1. The first step in locating a keeshond puppy is to call or visit local veterinarians. Veterinarians and their office staff usually are aware of breeders in the area, and will know if keeshonds are bred nearby. This is an ideal means of gathering additional information about the reputation of a local breeder. A local vet also may know if there is a breed club in the area. If there is, members may be able to help you find a puppy.
2. Use the American Kennel Club as a resource. The club's website has a puppy search function that allows you to locate dogs by breed within a 200-mile vicinity of a given ZIP code. The website also has links to Keeshond rescue groups and local breeder associations.
3. Seek out websites that list breeders. The NextDay Pets, Breeders Club and Puppyfind websites list puppies by breed and some list them by city and state. Contact information and prices are listed along with pictures of the puppies. Breeder information also is listed.
4. Lastly, do not forget to check out local humane societies. Contact the local human society and area shelters to see if any keeshond puppies are available or if the staff knows anyone locally who raises keeshonds. The local human society also can assist in determining whether a local breeder is reputable.
