The Keeshond was accepted for AKC registration in 1930. The Nederlandse Keeshond Club was formed in 1924. Today, unethical breeders sometimes try to pass off a Keeshond/Chow Chow mix as a Eurasier. In 1930, the Keeshond was first registered with The American Kennel Club. The Keeshond is very bright in work and obedience.
