Grooming guide: Keeshond
Profuse double coat needs regular brushing. Never shave.
In practice that means a weekly grooming cadence for most Keeshond owners - the double coat sheds or mats fast enough that spacing sessions further apart lets tangles or loose fur build up between visits.

Among 42 medium breeds, Keeshond is #25 by weight and #26 by AKC popularity. Coat multiplier 1.25× versus a band average of 1.22, essentially peer-average for medium dogs, so weight (not coat) is the main premium.
