KEESHONDS

|
Our family has had Keeshonds as pets for over 30 years. We have had the fortune of owning healthy Keeshonds with great coats and adorable personalities: kind, wise, obedient and affectionate. All our Keeshonds have their characteristic personalities that make them unique individuals. This page is a tiny shrine for the Keeshonds of the past. |
 "Mörkö", Yllabo Godiva, 1988-2001 Sire: Gavimir Dolphin "Dudde" Dam: Solvargens Askunge. Breeder: Gunlög Krook. |
 Our very first Keeshond was "Maissi", Mäntyrinteen Marijke, 1972-1982 Sire: Kitron Rami, Dam: Mäntyrinteen Sanny. Breeder: Pihlaja. |

Mörkö was
a large, richly coated bitch with good bone structure, but her body
could have been slightly more square. Her name "Mörkö"
means "monster" in Finnish (the Groke in Moomin characters)
although her character was particularly kind and affectionate. People
found this contradiction funny and the whole town - particularly children
- learned her name and people started to call all Keshonds "monster
dogs". Mörkö lived a long and healthy life accompanying
us in all our hobbies, trekking, hiking and prospecting in Lapland. |
Maissi
was the lineage of Alkestitan kennel dogs. She was beautiful English-type
Keeshond with square body. Old photos reveal that she had rather big ears
compared with current Keeshonds. One of her sisters had incorrect colour:
light brown coat with chocolate brown dark areas. Her lineage is no longer
found among Finnish Keeshonds.
