Keeshond Information | American Kennel Club
This afternoon I took Beau into the big field at Doggie Doo Run Run and there was a man and a dog I did not know. The dog looked like a keeshond and as soon as I got close to it after greeting the man who was quite unsocial, the dog started growling at me. He said that the dog did not like strange men with baseball caps. I asked the man if the dog was bad with small dogs and as soon as my pooch got close this keeshond like dog ran my dog down. My dog was pushed around pretty good and was scared for his life as I was. The man acted like this was old hat. He did ask if my dog was harmed.
FYI Beau is a ten lb. chihuahua/terrier who likes to chase the big dogs when they allow him to do this. He is an alpha dog but usually is quite sweet. Chihuahua and chihuahua mixes do stick up for themselves in my experiences.
I picked Beau up and took him out of the big field to the big dog area which was empty. He had wet spots on his neck and the side of his chest but was OK except for being scared.
The man put his dog on a leash in the meantime and exited the park after waiting for me to tell him if Beau was harmed. He was OK just a little scared. I took him back to the big field as soon as the guy with the keeshond like dog was out of the big dog area.
Beau enjoyed the empty big field but I looked at the sign in sheet for the man so that I could report the incident to the dog park owners but there was no name listed in the big dog section.
I will keep an eye out for the dog and hope that men wearing baseball caps at the Doggie Doo Run Run will also watch out for this dog. If he and his owner comes back that is.
I am not saying it was a keeshond just looks like this breed. I did not get the name of the man nor of the dog.
