We've been researching on the Keeshond breed for a long time now. We unluckily encountered puppy mills/back yard breeders that sold Keeshonden and never cared about the breed, nor their health and only wanted money, we then ran into Cindy on AKC and wow! We knew from there we were blessed! We arranged to meet and it was the best puppy experience we've had.We have had a bad experience with a sick puppy and we told Cindy the truth, we were afraid of getting an ill puppy and going through the terrible experience again. Cindy right away assured us she provides the best, health is her priority, we felt very much at ease! We literally spent i'd say more than 2 hours at her home just choosing a puppy. Cindy was very very patient with us. Provides us the best answers possible, she is very honest and very welcoming. I absolutely loved meeting all of her Keeshonden, very friendly and loving! If we have a question in regards to health, personality, food, etc. you name it, she gives honest answers. Cindy and her husband are amazing people who raise amazing dogs. I highly recommend her! Because of her, she completed our family of 4. Our Pomeranian puppy now has a brother and they get along perfectly, he has such an amazing temperament, beautiful coat, he is absolutely perfect and is a perfect match with our little family!

We had been looking for a Keeshond puppy for long time, and reached out to many breeders around the country. When we found Cindy’s website, we were so thankful to find a breeder in California who is a true Keeshond lover.
Through many e mails exchanges and phone calls, she was always very nice and patient to answer all of my questions about the Keeshond breed, and how to best care for the puppy. With her experience and knowledge, we learned a lot about this breed. When we visited her house, we could see all of her dogs and puppies running around in their wonderful home. While we were hanging out with all of her dogs, we could see why it’s important to have a puppy from happy home. It was Keeshond heaven. (I am telling you, her dogs looked absolutely cuter than the pictures!! Her dogs have beautiful coats that were in perfect shape, and they were the friendliest dogs you could ever meet. Grayson and Cooper were sitting next to us, or on top of us, the whole time we were there! They were so friendly!) The dogs have enough area to run around. Cindy and her husband were very nice to show her house and how they care for those happy dogs. She showed me what is the right food for the breed, and other supplies that she found useful from her long Keeshond breeding experience.
We feel very lucky to have met Cindy. Our puppy, Kiki is the cutest dog I could imagine. She is very healthy, playful and her coat is super soft and fluffy. If you are searching for a happy, and healthy Keeshond puppy, I highly recommend her.
Thank you so much Cindy, we couldn't be happier with Kiki. We will keep in touch, we might need another puppy soon from you! :)
Thank you again!

We recently purchased our little Keeshond boy. We are past owners of Keeshonds but due to their rarity, we had not been able to find one since the passing of our last one in 2005. We currently have other dogs but they are of another breed. I located Cindy on the AKC website. We were looking for a reputable breeder and thought this was a perfect place to start. How fortunate that Cindy had available puppies. We made our appointment to visit the puppies and were immediately greeted by her husband Phillip. Both Cindy and Phillip made us feel like we were family and not total strangers. It's amazing how tidy Cindy keeps her house, considering the volume of dogs and puppies in their house. We love the Keeshond breed but have been hesistant about calling on some of the ads that we have seen in the papers. We are so thrilled to have found both the perfect breeder and new addition to our family. We highly recommend Cindy if you are looking for a Keeshond. If you know nothing about this breed, they are the friendliest and most fun loving. We love our new baby boy and are looking forward to purchasing another puppy from Cindy in the future.

We came across Cindy on the AKC website after my son was researching on-line for the best breed for our next family dog. We contacted Cindy during a very difficult time for our family. We were in the decision making process of putting down our beloved 12 1/2 year old dog that we had rescued as a puppy and we were just heartbroken. I knew our household wouldn't be without a furry companion for long but I also was afraid to rush into anything. Cindy's responded back to my email just a few hours after I sent it and her first paragraph was dedicated to pet loss and her understanding and sympathy toward what our family was going through. She was very respectful of our timing but kindly offered information on the breed, her puppies, and even extended an invitation to her house the following day. My kids were very excited to see ALL of their animals which were not limited to just dogs but were also excited to meet the puppies. We felt so blessed to live within driving distance! Cindy and her husband are such warm and loving individuals who are obvious animal lovers. She often referred to the puppies as her babies and she treated them as such. We stayed for 3 hours playing with the puppies, meeting and interacting with the adult Keeshonds, and learning more about the breed. Needless to say, before we left, we had picked out a puppy! Bella has definitely been the silver lining to the dark cloud of our family's loss. She is amazingly playful and loving and isn't afraid to show it! :) She brings so much laughter and happiness to our family and is giving my kids an experience they will never forget! We are so grateful for Cindy and her husband! We are connected through Facebook so she can see how much Bella is growing and what she is up to. We also correspond via email as Cindy loves to hear updates about her babies. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts!

I am the proud mother of a Keeshound puppy bred by Cindy and Phillip Herzog. Captain Morgan is my 10th Kees. It isn't often anymore that you encounter people who are EXACTLY WHO AND WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE!!! I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy and her husband when they delivered my new boy. Because of a variety of issues I was unable to drive the 13 hours to their home. Cindy and Phillip rented a CruiseAmerica RV - loaded up Morgan's Mom and Dad, two other siblings, two aunts and an uncle and took to the road. Total of 8. This was beyond my wildest expectations. Great breeding lines, calm parents and a loving household produce exceptionally well balanced dogs who are intelligent and easy to train. HATS OFF THE CINDY AND PHILLIP!!!!!!!

I am now a proud father of a wonderful keeshond girl. I feel very lucky as Cindy was very accommodating with my million questions before I got my girl. I've read some online horror stories about certain breeders about being non-responsive to the would be puppy parents. Me and Cindy exchange messages for a couple of weeks and when It was finally time for me to pick my girl Cindy was willing to meet me halfway in Manteca with no extra charge. When I met Cindy and saw Shiva (my little girl) for the first time I really knew I lucked out as I saw the bond she had and the way she held her. She had all the needed paperwork for me and everything has been smoothsailing. I would love to thank Cindy from the bottom of my heart for being the person who provided me with the newest member of my family.

For two years I had been looking for a puppy. I have always wanted a Keeshond because I had just heard nothing but amazing, wonderful things about the breed and they seemed to be a perfect match for me. However, because they are so hard to find I had widened the search to other breeds.

In my search, I came across Cindy's website filled with pictures of brand new beautiful Keeshond puppies. I called her immediately and she was so amazing and talked to me for a long time giving me all of the information I could want about the breed and the puppies available. I live in New Mexico so she even let me face time with the puppies. I was in love right away and put a deposit down.

I flew to California and Cindy was nice enough to drive my little girl 3hrs from her home to the hotel I was staying at. My heart melted to the floor when I held Akua for the first time and it hasn't changed since. She is the sweetest, most amazing puppy and I'm so excited to spend my life with her! My mom now wants to get a puppy from Cindy as well. I can't thank her enough for being so accommodating in helping me get Akua. I will always refer anyone looking for a Keeshond to Cindy! Thank you!!

Cindy is very helpful. My fiancé and I have been apart of our puppies growth. She sends us update pictures and we've gone to her farm twice. She's so welcoming along with her husband. We love how passionate she is about her animals. Cindy adores every single animal on her farm and the newly born puppies and taken care in the best environment. Wanted to add our pictures with the puppies but don't know how too. Thank you Cindy for our puppy baby bear , we are truly grateful.

Happy, happy, happy. Our boy, Bandit, is all you could possibly dream of. The pup has obviously been well loved Cindy is a very caring, loving person. It was a pleasure to deal with her. She is totally truthful and supportive. This is definitely NOT A PUPPYMILL, which I was afraid of after having had a bad experience. This is a loving home atmosphere. Keeshondlove is just that, Keeshond-love. Thank you Cindy

We have had Bandit for one week now. He responds to his name, pees on the pee pad always, does his other business outside. He is one smart puppy. He also uses the dog door. Cindy must have played and cuddled these pups a lot, it shows. He and our 2 year old keeshond are playing very well together. This is my husband's 8th Keeshond and my third. Again, we are very happy. Thank you Cindy

If you’re looking for a keeshond, Cindy is absolutely someone you should contact! Great lines, fantastic temperament, and a loving home make for wonderful puppies. The past few weeks with my new keeshond, Lieutenant Handsome Mushi Pudding, have been an absolute blast and I am so grateful to Cindy for this new member of our family.

Previously, I had been researching for several months for a puppy, and contacted at least 10 different breeders, shelters, and ads over a half-year period in Southern California. I either got no response, they didn’t have the breed or stopped breeding, or were obviously a backyard breeder/puppy mill setup. I then decided to look into Northern California, and found Keeshondlove. Wow, am I glad I did! Keeshondlove is nothing like those previous places I talked with. When I first contacted Cindy, I was actually still debating between a keeshond and a papillon. Not once did Cindy pressure me to make a purchase or hurry, and as others said, she very readily answers any questions you have about the breed and her dogs. In fact, he encourages it! No matter how silly I thought my question was, she never made me feel like a bother for asking them and was more than happy to answer questions or send photos. She’s honest as well, telling both the pros and cons of the keeshond breed, to ensure that potential buyers are prepared for what they are getting. Cindy is very kind, professional, and passionate about what she does- which is even more apparent when we talk to her over FaceTime, and especially in person. I genuinely aspire to be more like her with all the joy, love, and patience she expresses!

As some other people mentioned, this is definitely NOT a puppy mill. Cindy dearly loves not only her dogs, but all her animals- which includes 9 horses and 2 calves. She built an extra room addition just for raising the puppies too. She does what she can to ensure that the puppy you bring home will be one that suits your lifestyle. They are healthy, well-socialized, and beautiful puppies. Cindy has a big heart, and it really shows with all the care she gives to her animals.

Additionally, if you request for delivery, the price is more than reasonable. I live in Southern California, and the delivery charge she asked for was actually cheaper than the gas it would have cost me to drive roundtrip to pick up my puppy! I was absolutely stunned, as that made it clear that she just wanted these dogs to go to good homes. She invests a lot of time into each individual puppy and does what she does because of her love for the breed, not to make a profit. On the day of delivery, she makes sure to spend all the time you need with her to show you anything you may want to know. She also tries to work around your schedule. Cindy will be there for you for the lifetime of your puppy. Questions, concerns, just exchanging photos- anything!

Lieutenant Handsome Mushi Pudding has just an absolute dear. He’s already enriched our lives many times over, and I can tell that during his weeks with Cindy, he was shown nothing but love. He’s smart, easy to train, and very mellow (while retaining that puppy playfulness!). Even one of our family friends, who is terrified of dogs large and small, willingly played with Lieutenant Handsome Mushi Pudding without us coaxing him to. The puppy is great with people, and really an eager learner. Within the first week, he is already potty trained to relieve himself only on the lawn, and knows all the basics like sit, stay, down, and even wait (yes, he won’t eat a treat centimeters from his face until we say it is okay to!).

During the second week, we worked on things like nail clipping, ear cleaning, and tooth brushing, and he took it all so well. He had zero problems with his paws being held for extended periods of time, and didn’t struggle away from the toothbrush. I can tell that Cindy spent a lot of time with these puppies, handling every inch of them very often to make sure that they were used to it. When we took him to the vet, the doctor and vet techs all said that he was the calmest puppy that they have ever encountered in their clinic! He is just that good, even around new people and environments, and I attribute this to all the time Cindy has spent raising him and his siblings.

While temperament is not guaranteed, Cindy really does try her best to ensure that you get a puppy with the traits you are looking for. I told her that I wanted a calmer, mellow puppy, especially since my mother is on the older side. Our little Lieutenant Handsome Mushi Pudding most certainly is! From our previous experience with puppies, we mentally braced ourselves for the tornado of mess and destruction sure to come with the first weeks of puppyhood. But so far, he’s just so easy to care for and largely keeps himself out of trouble!

Every day, we feel so blessed to have Lieutenant Handsome Mushi Pudding. Cindy and her family have done a phenomenal

Oops, it seems my comment is too long and the last bit got cut off! She really does deserve every last bit of praise, and more so! Anyways, Cindy and her family have done a phenomenal job raising their keeshonden!

Thank you so much Cindy for all your hard work! We couldn’t ask for a better puppy!

What can I say! We got our first kees in 1984. We fell in love with the breed. We had a long gap before we got another dog. Of course it had to be another kees. Nika is now 7 1/2 and a smart, wonderful girl. Around January, we decided she needed another kees for us and Nika. My husband found Cindy. We are so pleased not only is she and her husband wonderful b people, but the best keeshond breeders. I've never had such a puppy as our Brandi. I'm sure she learned from Nika, but I can only attribute Brandi'says loving, calm and wonderful demeanor to Cindy.

Brandi was pretty much housebroken in the first couple of weeks. I pick her up and she immediately puts her paws and head on my shoulders. She learned to sit immediately . When she sees the leash, she sits and waits for you to hook it. She was kennel trained in 2 days and slept at least 8 hours without going out to do her business.

I especially was thrilled when we took Brandi to the vet, he was quick to say what a very healthy little girl she is. Our Nika wasn't so healthy when we got her. She had worms and we had to start her puppy shots over. I now know the difference between an ok breeder and a great one. Cindy is awesome.

Thank you Cindy for giving our little further baby a very good beginning

January 18, 2016. One of the darkest days of my life. Gracie, my 8 year young Keeshond, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm disabled & Gracie was my constant companion, best friend, my heart & soul, my reason & purpose.

The pain was too much for me to bear. I was lost in the deepest, darkest black hole without HOPE. Nothing was right for me anymore.

My Mom also deeply felt this great loss & tried to be strong for me.

Then a day came when she just couldn't confine her own pain. Misty, our German Shepherd/Collie mix was also in heartbreaking mourning. The energy in our home was gone. They needed someone.

So our search began, naturally first with Keeshonds. We are located in Illinois & have always adopted from rescues or shelters. I was not surprised when I was unable to find any Keeshonds. Not even in neighboring states.

I ended up at Keeshondlove & Cindy Herzog, a Keeshond breeder in California. Whenever I did a search, her site kept coming up.

Although I have never contacted a breeder in my life, I knew this was a sign this was the path I was supposed to follow.

I contacted Cindy who sympathetically listened to my story. She understood my pain.

She had only one baby girl available with multiple applicants. Upon further contact, I knew I could not afford the adoption of this little girl.

My heart already shattered by my loss of my Gracie, I had to tell Cindy.

To my utter amazement, she offered this baby to us at an adoption fee we could afford. Not only that -- she offered to personally fly out to Illinois to deliver her to us & place her in my arms!

I already felt Cindy was a truly good-hearted person. This was just the beginning of how genuine she is.

This went beyond a puppy. Cindy was offering me HOPE that things will get better.

It's too late to make my experience with Cindy short. I want & need to let everyone know our whole amazing story. I hope you continue to read it all.

Sadly, after telling my Mom of Cindy's generous offer, Mom said just wasn't ready. I had to tell Cindy, who again was understanding.

I felt a strong, undeniable connection with Cindy. I asked her although we won't be adopting, if we could continue to communicate. Without any hesitation, she said, of course! AND SHE DID!! We became friends without our adopting.

Cindy does not breed for financial gain, she breeds out of love for the Keeshond & she is unaware of the inexplicable joy & healing she gives to those who adopt from her. She genuinely cares not only about the puppies & new "parents". She cares about people!

Not long after this, Mom told me she was ready. I explained this to Cindy & had the nerve to ask her if her generous offer was still available.

Cindy told me the baby girl was already adopted. However, being the person Cindy is, she let me know that she's expecting a litter approximately March 28th & yes, the offer was still available to us!

We were ecstatic! We made the arrangements for a baby girl & Cindy kept me informed about how beautiful Mama, Contessa, was coming along.

When Contessa went into labor & began delivering, Cindy sent me pictures & videos of her progress. The love & trust Contessa has with Cindy was clearly visible. They have a very special bond, just as Cindy has with all her pets in other videos. It was just like I was there, sharing the experience! Our baby girl entered this world on March 30, 2016.

Contessa & babies were well. Cindy continued to send videos & pictures as the puppies grew. It was amazing!

Then came the time to select our new family member. In the past we were fortunate to avoid that decision -- our pets always found us. I knew I would not be able to choose. I completely trusted Cindy & asked her to please do the honor of selecting our baby girl.

The puppies were identified by the color of their collars. Cindy is involved & quite observant as the puppies personalities began to emerge. She wants the best pairing for puppy & "parents".

Cindy perfectly matched us with "Purple", who now goes by the name "Hanna", meaning "Gracious gift from God". Hanna is a gentle, loving soul, just as Cindy described.

Despite some unfortunate delays & much confusion due to the airline, Cindy was detemined to place Hanna in our arms.

On June 02, 2016 she did exactly that! We had our baby Hanna in our arms!!

I still have many "Gracie days", however, there is now a bright light is shining through that black hole & continues to grow brighter for me, for all of us, with each passing day.

Mom is smiling & laughing again. Even Misty is happily playing & protecting her new baby sister.

At Hanna's first her doctor's appointment, our veterinarian gave her a perfect bill of health. She is happy, healthy, active, loving & very much loved!

I would, without any doubt or hesitation, recommended adopting from Cindy Herzog, Keeshondlove. I would NOT go to anyone else.

We are not just breeder & adpopter, we remain FRIENDS to this day!

NOTE TO CINDY: You met us at one of t

NOTE TO CINDY: You met us at one of the worst times in our lives & made it a little more bearable with your pure heart & understanding. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for Blessing me with you! I hope someday you will realize the positive impact, healing & inexplicable joy you make in people's lives. On behalf of all us, the lives you've touch & will touch . . . Thank you & God Bless you!

Hello I want to say that I am new to being a puppy mom when I found out about the breed I was excited to see where I can find a breeder when I found cindy I emailed her and she responded right away. I then called her and we talked for a while about the Keeshonds after we were done I was excited to put my deposit down cindy has been very helpful and loving she definitely knows everything about keeshonds when cindy found out what happens to my daughter she knew right away that Kheesi would be her therapy to a faster recovery due to the recent things that mariyha was going thru we were unable to go to cindy but she was able to come to us. Thank you cindy for everything. Kheesi went to her vet today and she is a happy healthy puppy and we are so happy to have her she is so lovable and is adored by many out here .

Cindy was kind enough to deliver my baby girl Bella. She had to drive over 114 miles and I can't thank her enough for this!
Bella is beautiful! So sweet and cuddly-loves to be held. Tail goes a mile a minute when she see you. She wasn't scared of my older male Kees. She loves to explore new things she sees.
This is my Third Keedhond. They are wonderful, loving dogs-so glad I found Cind'y's web site.

My husband and I were so blessed by Cindy and her amazing knowledge of Keeshonden! Our little puppy Nicky received such good care from whelping through adoption. Cindy cares for the puppies and the puppy parents and we felt like family from the first phone call. I would recommend Cindy to anyone who is looking for a family Keeshond pet.

We set out to find another Keeshond as a companion to our existing baby, Annie. We got Annie through a breeder online whose website was unreachable as we began our search for our second Keeshond. Cindy's website kept coming up in our search, and with her only 123 miles away from us it felt like fate. Cindy's infectious happiness and loving nature was apparent from our first conversation, and we have enjoyed this journey with her. She is amazing with communication, letting you know exactly how the puppies are doing while sending plenty of adorable pictures and videos. Our baby Abigail is healthy, happy, and socialized (as well as insanely cute). She gets along wonderfully with our two year old Annie and is basking in the attention of visiting family.

I have breed Keeshond's many years ago. 11 years ago I found a Keeshond that my wife and I fell in love with. Apollo was with us for almost 11 years. I love the breed, to me the Keeshond is the only breed that I would ever consider for a pet and companion. For almost 2 years I have been looking for a Keeshond breeder. You would not believe what some breeders want you to sign just to get a Puppy. Cindy talks to you and makes sure that you are ready for puppy and know what to expect. Cindy's Keeshond's to me are great family dogs. She does this out of love. She truly loves all of her Keeshond's. She is Not a Puppy Mill. My new puppy Loki is perfect in every way. If you are looking for a Keeshond puppy I would highly recommend Cindy. What really made my day was Cindy will keep you up to date on how the puppies are doing from day 1 till you pick up your puppy.

I lost my Kees Kami last year in October. I was heartbroken. 7 months went by until I decided that I wanted another Keeshond. I love this breed. I scoured the internet looking, talked to many breeders, then I talked to Cindy. She described in detail how she raised her pups, I knew instantly that she loved all of her babies.
I didn’t know if I wanted a boy or girl, thru texting with pictures,videos, and calls. I decided on my little girl Lily.
Lily is smart, inquisitive, loves her toys. She knew right away to use her pee pads,
Lily chases her ball and brings it back to me with quick release, she knows how to shake my hand. But most of all she loves me, and I can’t get enough of her. I knew that she was raised with great care and love by Cindy.
I called her many times with questions and she never once hesitated to give me advise. She was available at all times.
I’m from Massachusetts, Cindy in California, how was I going to get this precious girl to my home? No worries! Cindy was going to fly to Logan and bring her to me personally!! She checked all the airlines and found a price so reasonable, I knew I was going to get my Lily home.
Cindy personally brought Lily on the plane with her, as she doesn’t believe in having her puppies shipped via cargo, again showing her love for these babies.
We finally met, Lily was beautiful. Cindy didn’t just hand her to me and leave, she held Lily closely and cried because she was losing one of her babies and would miss her dearly.
She gently gave her to me still crying.
We talked for a good while, answering all my questions. Then she watched me leave.
Lily has brought me so much joy, happiness and fulfillment. She so reflects Cindy’s love and commitment to this breed.
Cindy and I still communicate to this day. She’s always asking about Lily.
I highly recommend Cindy and Keeshond Love. I found her on her website and AKC.org.
I have enjoyed my journey with Cindy and hope to continue it with her.

Cindy has been a pleasure to work with. I live in Alaska in a more secluded area so we don’t have access to dogs or really any dog breeders. People have pets but almost everyone has to have them shipped here. A relative of mine who lives here in Ketchikan was visiting California so I began scouring the area so she could maybe bring one to us when she came back. I searched for hours and hours for almost a week straight. I was on the verge of giving up for the day but after an hour of taking a break I went back to it and there she was. I called Cindy right away. Her post had only been there an hour so we jumped on it.

I explained to Cindy my situation and told her about my self and my family and sent her pictures of our Christopher. He was a very fury corgi palmeranian very similar to the Keeshond but a liittle smaller.
We had just recently lost our Christopher Robin. He lived to be 15 years old. The loss of him was really bearing down on all of us, my mother was affected the most. She still grieves but it’s not nearly as bad now that we have our Misty Dey.

Misty is absolutely perfect. We’ve had her for almost a month now. She is such a teddy bear and she gives teddy bear hugs and loves to be held. It was clear that she was very well taken care of and her dimeanor was very gentle. She is very gentle with my toddler when they play. They play tug of war and take turns chasing each other around and at times I’m in the center of the tornado lol. Hearing my toddler scream and laugh out of sheer joy makes it worth putting up with the chaos. I’m so glad that they will grow up together. They are both getting potty trained at the same time. Misty has caught on very fast, it’s true when they say this breed is intelligent. When I talk to her she turns her head side to side like she’s trying to understand me, it’s so cute!

I would highly recommend getting a pup from Cindy. It’s true that she really loves her babies. She wasn’t going to let her fly if she didn’t see proof of her being in the cab with my aunt and I don’t blame her. These puppies are soo precious! I wouldn’t have it any other way my self and I’m proud to say I was the first to bring one of her babies to Alaska. Thank you again Cindy for helping us heal our hearts.

Cindy personally accompanied one of her puppies to me in Denver, CO. I now have a perfectly healthy, lovable, cuddly, and goofy puppy named, Sasha. She is my whole world and I am so thankful for the time and energy Cindy put into supporting and raising the litter. Cindy provided weekly updates of the litter before the puppies were old enough to leave their mom. Cindy was also able to answer ALL questions I had and made it very easy for me (a first-time sole dog owner) to feel confident in my ability to support Sasha. I couldn't be more happy with my experience! Thank you, Cindy!
