Keeshonden Available!
Across the country & world

Last Updated: 01/08/2012

We list keeshonden available from mainly kees club member sources. These can be litters, puppies, older dogs or rescued kees.
This service is *free*. Contact us at updates@astarz.info

Notice this banner and the BREEDER OF MERIT icons in the listings below.

With this status, you can be assured that this breeder is very reputable. Most have companion kees available in their litters. Here are the AKC requirements for a Breeder of Merit:

Has a history of at least 5 years involvement with AKC events.

Earned at least 4 Conformation, Performance or Companion event titles on dogs they bred/co-bred.

Member of at least one AKC club.

Certifies that applicable health screens are performed on your breeding stock as recommended by the Parent Club (Keeshond Club of America).

Demonstrates a commitment to ensuring 100% of the puppies produced are AKC registered.

We applaud recent efforts by celebrities and the mainstream media to expose the abuses of commercial pet producers and auctions. Unfortunately, these abuses often carry over to smaller operations which at first glance may appear to be caring and family oriented but which in fact are only breeding to sell puppies with little, if any, attention to the health, temperament and quality of either their breeding stock or their puppies. If you have decided you want a Keeshond, please do not buy from someone who is simply producing puppies for sale. Red flags would be that they have puppies available most of the time, advertize on Internet sites such as "Next Day Pets". Talk to and buy from responsible, ethical breeders who continuously study pedigrees, do health checks and participate in organizations and activities to increase their knowledge of the breed and of their dogs. They will not just take your money but will help you confirm that a Keeshond is the right breed for you. If you do add a Keeshond to your family, a reputable breeder will be there to answer your many questions and serve as your mentor for the life of your dog.

BEWARE of volume keeshond breeders posing as reputable, ethical breeders. THEY ARE NOT. They sell over 100 puppies per year for a good income. You won't find a reputable breeder on these pages doing that! ASK QUESTIONS. Chances are, if your puppy is registered with the Continental Kennel Club, it is NOT from a reputable breeder. A reputable breeder will have GENERATIONS of health tested kees with documents to go with them. A reputable breeder will have GENERATIONS of American Kennel Club Champions immediately in the 1st and 2nd generation behind your puppy, whether it is pet or show. You should not have to "dig" back into the 4th generation or farther to find a Champion! BEWARE! These folks are out to make money and they are NOT about producing quality kees. Don't take their word for it. Check them out and contact the Keeshond Club of America (KCA). www.keeshond.org. If your breeder is not affiliated with KCA, chances are, there is a good reason why!

NOTE: All sire/dams should have MINIMUM OFAd (Fair, Good or Excellent) and PHPT Testing. In addition, the following tests may also have been performed & we encourage: stifle checks, thyroid clear, eye tests (CERF), Cardiac clearances, etc. ASK for hard copy of these documents.

You can check parent's health testing at the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals: www.offa.org

We are not responsible for any mistakes or misrepresentations on this page. This is a free service to the breeders and the public only. We do not endorse, recommend nor take responsibility for anything other than providing the info.

Litters from sources below may contain both companion and show puppies. Most breeders don't have "all show quality" litters. Please ask the breeder when you contact them about the availability of companion kees.

It is *very important* that you ask and be aware of these questions! They could save you pain & heartbreak later.

NOTE for those with listings: If no updates are rec'd on your listing for one month, the listing will be removed.

Ashbrook's Medicine Man Astarz has a fab litter on the ground. Pups will be ready to go to homes in the first part of March 2012. "Valerie" is a pretty, silver and black kees, lighter in body color and has a sensible head on her shoulders. She has a lovely face, with natural, distinct markings & no weeping eyes! She is a great house companion for us & passes this temperament on to her puppies. She has had 1 litter (born August 2010-the Wonderland Litter) and the pups are sound, personality plus, beautiful representatives of the Keeshond Breed. Two are finished champions, the 3rd is major pointed. This will be Valerie's 2nd litter. Pick male will be available to the right show home. As always, our kees are Modern Naturally Reared, modified raw diet, limited vaccines and topicals, in a smoke-free home with kitties and poms. FMI, see our website pages listed to the right. Valerie is CHIC'd, has had all the KCA required tests, as well as a total of 7 tests (Hips, Stifles, Heart, Elbows, Eyes, Thyroid and PHPT Negative) that kees can be tested for. All results are normal. Her hips are OFA'd Excellent. "Doc" is the sire of the very fab "Slippers" Ch. Ashbrook's Satin Slippers.

Sherwood Silversmith HOF ROMX. Many of the Ashbrook girls are in this pedigree, who are notable in their own right as great contributors to the Breed. The majority of the pups should have very pretty silver undercoats, beautiful, natural striking faces with great, natural eye markings and solid frames for action sports such as agility, rally and the like.

ASTARZ TOP PICK PUPPIES - YES, We Do Sell Our Best!*

If you are interested in SHOW or PERFORMANCE prospect pups, we may have the right one for you. Since we have a personal dog limit of 5 (and we don't keep boys), some of our best go to serious, loving show and performance homes. We can't keep them all! If you think you may be interested, contact us for details soon, as these special kids will be spoken for early on!

Note that we do have companion pups in each litter, however, most often they are spoken for about 6mos+ in advance.
