3/9 - One of these days we have been owned by this wonderful breed for 20 years!

It has been some incredible years; ups and downs of course, but lots of joy and happiness. We bought our first Keeshond in 1998, showed males for some years, before we bought a girl and decided to start breeding. In 2007 we bred our first litter. We decided to breed in a small scale, so so far only 7 keeshond litters have been born in our home. We prefer to have it like that.We are so proud of our babies and their owners, 21 of them are champions in their country and 10 have achieved their International Championship as well. Several of them are top dogs in their countries. They have taken far more than 100 CACIBs and most likely more than 200 CACs - and in addition to that lots of placements in the Group - and Best In Show rings. Thanks a lot to all of you for showing your babies, making sure they have all their health-tests done and for giving them wonderful homes too. We appreciate that so much! Cannot wait to see what the future will bring!
