IKON strives to produces happy, healthy, “sound” Keeshonden. All dogs are fully health tested (Hips, Elbows, Eyes, Knees and Heart) and careful judgment is used with each breeding. All puppies are raised in the house and receive constant socialization. Show and Performance prospects will be selected first. Pet puppies will be placed with a required spay/neuter contract. Puppies will be wormed, checked by a veterinarian and receive their first set of shots before they leave at 8-9 weeks of age. Puppies will be sent home with a puppy packet including health clearances, feeding instructions and other goodies.

What you need to know about Keeshonden

Keeshonds are intelligent, alert, active, food motivated and easily trainable. They are companion dogs that “thrive on human attention”. Keeshonds should not be aggressive. They tend to be a vocal breed and will alert their owners of all types of activity. Keeshonds shed once to twice a year and require frequent grooming. Dogs that lack proper training and socialization can become bored, depressed & destructive.
