Looking for tweets for keeshond.
chained_bear A dog breed: "The keeshond has an Arctic origin. In its veins runs the blood of the samoyed, chow chow, elkhound, and Pomeranian. At the beginning of the French Revolution it became the symbol of teh common and middle-class Dutch who were led by the patriot Kees de Gyselaer. The breed then suffered a long period of neglect and did not become popular again until 1920." (Simon & Schuster Guide to Dogs, 1980)
If it's of Dutch origin, it should probably be pronounced "case-hond," but I hear lots of people saying "keesh-ond" instead. Hmm... Feb 21, 2007
