This is Cof. He was patient through the whole grooming even though it lasted 3 hours, due to the large amount of combed undercoat. Thank you Cof! Enjoy watching and I hope to see you in next video :)
I’ve done this so many times I couldn’t remember them all. I got my first Kees in 1982. I’m on number 7 and she’s just an Angel. As long as I’m not to enthusiastic she doesn’t give a peep. A good brush out once or twice a week will keep the mats at bay.
Boy I know this part! All that ruff undercoat takes so much time to comb out.I’ve owned 7 Keeshonden since 1982. So much grooming. Worth every minute though. Best companion dog there is.❤️❤️❤️
I have a friend who would spin Keeshond fur with cashmere and make Keesmere. She has made the most wonderful hats, scarves and mittens out it. Like a Keeshond, it's even waterproof! Her female didn't have the best coat but my big male did and she loved to get the bags of blown fur from him. After 2 girls I finally got another boy and can't wait until he completely grows his adult coat so I can create some Keesmere myself. There used to be several spinners on Etsy who would spin yarn from your Kees fur but I haven't looked in a long time.
One of my (registered, champion sired) Keeshonden was a Wolfspitz throwback. He weighed about 55 lbs instead of the Kees standard 40, and now that you mention it he did have the bigger ears. He really was magnificent, though; everyone still living who knew him talks about Bear.
My grandmother always used this fur for spinning wool, as there was so much of it. My mum did not spin the wool, but when we groomed our various Keeshonds/Wolfsspitze we always left the wool in the patio. The birds then came and took it with when they were building nests. I do admire your dog's patience - our dogs always threw a tantrum!
