👉 The term "keeshond" is a breed of dog that originated in Scotland and has become popular worldwide due to its distinctive coat, known as the "Keeshond Cross". The Keeshond was originally bred for hunting foxes, but it has since been used for various other tasks such as herding sheep and working with dogs. It is considered one of the oldest breeds and has a long history in Scotland, where it was first recorded in 1820.
