Yes, they are Keeshonden (the Dutch plural of Keeshond!). Great pets, but useless for anything other than that!!
Breed standard is supposed to be 35 pounds. The three males we've had were all over 50 pounds!! They range in color but are shades of gray, black, and cream.
Ginny is only about 28 lbs, so seems tiny to us. She is some puppy-mill contrived "registry" and not AKC. She was dumped in a high kill shelter about three weeks ago, rescued, transported to Allentown, then adopted by us last Saturday. She's adjusted amazingly well! No terrible issues with her like many rescues. A bit skittish in new situations but nothing severe.
