Are Keeshonden good with cats?

Yes, most Keeshonden are good with cats, but their compatibility often depends on individual personalities and early socialization. Introducing a Keeshond to cats from a young age can help them learn to coexist peacefully. Proper supervision and positive interactions during this period can establish a harmonious relationship.

Like many dogs, Keeshonden have a natural prey drive, and this instinct might lead some to chase smaller animals, including cats. However, training your Keeshond to understand and respect boundaries with the cats, as well as basic obedience commands, can help prevent conflicts and promote positive interactions.
