Do Keeshonds smell bad or need frequent bathing?
No! One of the neatest things about the Keeshond’s fur coat is that if properly cared for through routine brushing, it does not get the doggy odor normally associated with breeds that have hair. If the dog is generally kept indoors, a bath once or twice a year may be all that is called for. If the coat gets a little mud on it, simply let the mud dry and then brush it out. The fact that the Keeshond does not take on a doggy odor makes it an ideal house pet as it will never smell up your furniture or carpet the way most other breeds can.
