The Keeshond is an ancient breed. It was originated in Holland as a breed used as a family companion and watchdog.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Keeshonds were used extensively as jack-of-all-trade dogs on European farms, barges, and riverboats.
They also were skilled at herding livestock, killing rats and other vermin, guarding cargo, and even guiding barges through foggy waters by swimming capably out in front of the boat.
