Are Keeshonden good apartment dogs?

Yes, Keeshonden are good apartment dogs under certain conditions, depending on the pet parent’s commitment to meeting their needs. They are not excessively large, but they do need enough space to move around comfortably and require daily exercise to stay healthy and happy. A spacious apartment or sufficient access to outdoor exercise areas (like parks) and opportunities for physical activity are beneficial.

Keeshonden can be vocal, especially when they are bored, lonely, or alerting their pet parents to something. This can be problematic in an apartment setting, but proper training and mental stimulation can help manage excessive barking.

Finally, Keeshonden are social dogs who thrive on companionship and interaction with their families. They won’t do well if left alone in an apartment (or any other home) without sufficient mental stimulation and attention.
