	American Kennel Club - Keeshond
		The Keeshond (pronounced kayz-hawnd) is a natural, handsome dog of well-balanced, short-coupled body, attracting attention not only by his coloration, alert carriage, and intelligent expression, but also by his stand-off coat, his richly plumed tail well curled over his back, his foxlike expression, and his small pointed ears.
		The Keeshond is a medium-sized, square-appearing, sturdy dog, neither coarse nor lightly made.
		The Keeshond is to be shown in a natural state with trimming permissible only on feet, pasterns, hocks and--if desired--whiskers.
	www.akc.org /breeds/keeshond/index.cfm (1028 words)

	The Keeshond Coat
		Acceptable variations of Keeshond color and markings include a dark body coat with sharply contrasting markings; a relatively light body coat with markings that are lighter still; and deeper shades of light grey in markings (except for the required very light grey plume) that contrast, but less sharply, with the body coat.
		The grossly coated Keeshond bitch is an aberration, the canine equivalent of the bearded lady.
		Keeshond bitches should be prized for correct color, markings, texture, and denseness of coat, all desirable qualities to be passed on to their progeny, both male and female.
