TerraNik Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Personally, although I love Lappies... There is nothing cuter than a Keeshond puppy. But - rather than deciding based on which breed is the cutest as a pup - decide which adult you would prefer. They're going to be an adult for much longer than they will be a puppy.

whiskedaway Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I have to say, the Lappie puppies are so cute. I was overwhelmed by cuteness when we got Akira, but the Lappie puppies are just as cute. But - rather than deciding based on which breed is the cutest as a pup - decide which adult you would prefer. They're going to be an adult for much longer than they will be a puppy. Agreed. We had decided on a Husky before even seeing what they looked like as puppies and had decided that we liked the breed and how they looked as adults. And then we saw the puppies and fell even more in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynlovesdogs Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 That's the tough part too as adults.... I have a keeshond, and I love her to death, but lappies LIKE to cuddle for long periods of time!! I discussed with my sister and her bf who live with me and take care of hazel. They were saying they like how Hazel is stranger-unfriendly... in saying that, do Lappies like everyone but love their owner or do they love everyone?

TerraNik Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Lappies generally love everyone. Keeshonds tend to bond to a single person or family. I wouldn't say Hazel was stranger unfriendly - she warmed up to people after a little while! Nothing wrong with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Definitely love everyone. Kivi would go home with anyone that made eye contact with him. He'd probably be happy, too, provided they spent time with him and fed him. Erik is completely different. He doesn't really want to be petted by strangers and avoids it. Once he knows someone he's pretty friendly. It's kinda nice having the contrast. On the weekend we met some little kids and they wanted to pat the dogs, so I had Kivi who was happy to sit down and let a small boy he'd never met play with his face and make weird noises at him, and Erik, who at first stayed clear but presently decided small boys were very interesting and he should try to figure them out. I like that I've got a bombproof dog for the people to be distracted by, giving Erik the time he needs to decide whether he wants to be social or not. I wouldn't mind if I didn't have any social dogs, but it makes life easier to have one, especially when he's so pretty and cuddly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you corvus about how life is so much easier having a people-friendly dog... but my sister reckons they'll love others more than you? (cuddles from her is the same as cuddles from you!! etc etc) Wonder, is it possible to train a keesie puppy to grow up to be a snuggle bunny?

(cuddles from her is the same as cuddles from you!! etc etc) I dunno. I often say that Kivi would happily be rehomed with anyone that would feed him and give him cuddles, but when it comes down to it we're the ones that feed him and train him and take him places. He gives the appearance of loving everyone the same, but we are a little bit special. If he was getting cuddles and we walked away, he'd come after us. We're his family after all. He'll let anyone cuddle him and will approach anyone and give them the same happy look that we get from him, but he won't follow them anywhere we're not going.

Rysup Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The boys are more cuddle bums than the girls Lyn. The standoffish side of Kees comes from being bred for watch dog duties. You dont want a watch dog that runs and kisses the robber climbing onto your barge, or coming onto your farm. You want them to bark first, and give out kisses later. So that is what they were like. Harry was not at his most people friendly on Saturday, he was smitten with Hazel and was not interested in saying hello to the people. I think he was in love. He loves the lady dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder, is it possible to train a keesie puppy to grow up to be a snuggle bunny?Anything is possible :D Hope so! Corvus: looking forward to meeting yourself, erik and kivi next month!

So that's why hazel barks first and then kisses later.... hahahahha Harry is a beautiful boy!! but much more sedate than I expected!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hahaha yes Harry has settled down a lot, its either age, finding a diet that suits him, or a bit of both, but he is a much happier boy. Still hates the heat with a passion. It was too hot for him on Saturday with the sun out! Get him on a cold, wet, miserable day, and he is in his element. You should have come and had baby keesie cuddles while you were there Of if you can wait a while, you are welcome to come and cuddle my next litter. I have plans for 2 in the latter half of this year, just need my girls to cooperate with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynlovesdogs Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 That's like Hazel, she HATES the sun.. runs to shade.. but she also hates the wet.... i think she'd like it to be cold and dry!! oohhh may i may i may i please come cuddle your keesie puppies!

Rysup Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) I wouldnt let you NOT Nik! LOL We just have to have collective prayers that my girls cooperate! Last time I tried Brie she missed, and Sarah has never had a litter. Oh and Harry loves the water, but that comes from his mum and grandmother, its a line of water babies. But yeah hates the sun, and showing in sunshine goes so much against his nature! Edited June 24, 2010 by Rysup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
