Buckeye Keeshond Club was proud to participate in AKC's 2023 Meet the Breeds in Columbus, OH! Three of our members (Jeanne Buente, Jackie Harding and Michele McGrath) and six Keeshonden (Aria, Galaxy,Essex, Remy, Mairen, and Kierry) participated in the daylong event, meeting, greeting and, in some cases, delivering Keesie kisses to all who visited the booth. Ann McHugh generously provided lovely bandanas for the dogs and Jeanne brought a wonderful assortment of Kees memorabilia including an adorable beret woven from Keeshond fur. A fun day was had by all and it was great that our beautiful, sweet breed could be well represented to the community.
