Keez Keeshonden is a
small kennel located in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne
Australia.
We have lived with,
loved, shown and bred Keeshonden for approximately 25 years.
Keez Kennels
started with the purchase of our foundation bitch Kema
Stepout N Style from Bev Wigglesworth. Two years later saw
the purchase of Rymiska Top Notch from Eddie & Robin Ryan
Too this day,
almost everything in our kennel goes back to these two dogs.
1998 saw us
import American Champion Childerick's Flame Fatalle
Flame was the
first American & Australian Champion Keeshond and
still remains the only American & Australian Champion Bitch
in Australia.
1999 Flame was
bred to RUBIS Aust Ch Rymiska Top Notch - the litter
produced 5 puppies. 4 Became Australian champions, 1 went
onto become an Australian Grand Champion, 2 became Best In
Specialty Winners, and 4 became Royal Challenge
Winners.
This was the only
litter produced by Flame in this Country as she developed
Pyometra and required an emergency Spay.
The year 2000 was
a memorable one as Cheri joined the Keez Crew.
To date Keez
Keeshonden has bred &/or owned:
27 Champions

We have exported
Keeshonden to Indonesia, Canada and the United States of
America
2008 / 2009 will
bring some exciting times as Keez Keeshonden
will take a shift in
direction with our breeding program.
Our thanks goes
to those kennels for their support.
2008 is off to a very
slow start show wise. We have attended only 1 show to date. We bought 2 advertising publication business'
in 2007 which has taken up 150% of our time.
We will most likely
take the majority of 2008 off from showing, and get our
business' settled and Cheri will have a knee replacement
done mid year.
We may be seen out at
some local shows & specialties, you just never know!
