Grooming German Wolfspitz | Massive undercoat removal

This is Cof. He was patient through the whole grooming even though it lasted 3 hours, due to the large amount of combed undercoat. Thank you Cof! Enjoy watching and I hope to see you in next video :)

Boy I know this part! All that ruff undercoat takes so much time to comb out.I’ve owned 7 Keeshonden since 1982. So much grooming. Worth every minute though. Best companion dog there is.❤️❤️❤️

I’ve done this so many times I couldn’t remember them all. I got my first Kees in 1982. I’m on number 7 and she’s just an Angel. As long as I’m not to enthusiastic she doesn’t give a peep. A good brush out once or twice a week will keep the mats at bay.

I have this breed every 3 months

[@bergness8888]

That’s a Keeshond.

hmm...I've seen people turn cat undercoat into yarn, but never dog fur...im so curious...

I have a friend who would spin Keeshond fur with cashmere and make Keesmere. She has made the most wonderful hats, scarves and mittens out it. Like a Keeshond, it's even waterproof! Her female didn't have the best coat but my big male did and she loved to get the bags of blown fur from him. After 2 girls I finally got another boy and can't wait until he completely grows his adult coat so I can create some Keesmere myself. There used to be several spinners on Etsy who would spin yarn from your Kees fur but I haven't looked in a long time.

What's the difference between the Wolfspitz and a Keeshound? They look the same.

[@dlakcapetgrooming1748]

No difference, just two names for the same breed :)

[@rudolfschock8492]

Big difference : Wolfsspitz 5000 year old breed, bigger size and bigger ears. An traditional german guard dog, becoming very rare nowadays.

[@jeffreyxxx6176]

@@rudolfschock8492 Ok, thanks for the info.

Happy Dog

One of my (registered, champion sired) Keeshonden was a Wolfspitz throwback. He weighed about 55 lbs instead of the Kees standard 40, and now that you mention it he did have the bigger ears. He really was magnificent, though; everyone still living who knew him talks about Bear.

Thank you, I had my information wrong and thought the grey Wolfspitz was extinct. I don’t know where I read that. I had to do some studying 🙂

[@ms.r9000]

In Germany the Keeshond is called a Wolfspitz. Everywhere else it's a Keeshond.

[@joanngast7430]

Keeshond?

[@dlakcapetgrooming1748]

Yes it's the name for German Wolfspitz. Two names for one breed.

[@grandestyledoggrooming]

I thought the German Eolf Spitz went extinct in the 1500’s.
