He barks at the mailman!
answer · Pomeranian
One thing that really shocked me was how much they enjoy being part of family gatherings. They seem to thrive in social situations, actively engaging with guests. But I also learned how protective they can be, which is a great trait when it comes to home security. Keeshonds are a great mix of playful and protective.
question · Pomeranian
What's the funniest thing your Keeshond has ever done?
answer · Pomeranian
My Pom has claimed the bed as his own. He sleeps right under the covers and thinks he's the boss! It’s adorable and sometimes annoying when he takes all the space. They love the warmth and comfort of being close to their human. I feel like it strengthens our bond.
answer · Pomeranian
My Pomeranian is wonderful with my children. He’s playful and affectionate, always joining in on their games. However, I do ensure that my kids understand how to handle him gently because they're small and fragile. It's important to teach kids to respect their space.
answer · Pomeranian
Absolutely!
answer · Pomeranian
Yes, absolutely! Keeshonds can really shed remarkably. It's like they blow their coat every few months. I’ve gotten used to it, but I still have to vacuum way more often than I’d like.
answer · Pomeranian
My Pom has a habit of barking at their own reflection. It’s both hilarious and a bit sad!
question · Pomeranian
Does your Pom think every visitor came over just to see them?
answer · Pomeranian
I completely agree with my groomer. Regular brushing is essential for Keeshonds due to their thick double coat, and it helps prevent matting. I've found that just a few minutes every day not only keeps their coat looking great but also makes grooming less daunting for them. If I wait for a long session, my pup can get really fidgety. Plus, daily brushing is a great bonding time.
question · Pomeranian
My groomer says not to shave the coat, even in summer. Do you agree?
