Keeshonden are among her favorite breed of dogs and are known for being very independent.  They are the National Dogs of Holland and spent their time on river barges ridding them of vermin and protecting their masters.  They are medium sized dogs with an independent nature, full of boundless energy and a loving nature.  They make wonderful companions with their colorful personalities and smiling Dutch grins.   As with any independent breed, they are brilliantly intelligent and wonderful to work with.
