Meet Bear

This is a picture of Bear who lives on Cape Cod. His registered name is Tamarack's Northern Thunder Bear and he is from Lily's (CH Dreamwood's Our Little Secret) first litter born in November 2007. His father is Strider (Am/Can CH Darkenwald Aragorn). The picture was taken by Nathan in July 2009. Nathan is one of Bear's owners. Nathan is the son of Karen and John who have owned Bear since he left the nest. If you left click on the picture it will enlarge.

Bear is Walker’s brother as well as the sibling to the other 7 from that litter.

Bear is a happy and very content Keeshond who lives in a small town out on Cape Cod, Massachusetts with his owners Karen and John and their two kids Nathan and Jaclyn. Nathan is the talented photographer who took Bear’s portrait. Thanks Nathan!!

We received this note from Karen about Bear with the picture:

“Bear has had some obedience training and specifically some for "reactive" dogs. He was quite a barker, but we mostly have that controlled.

He is a lover, he likes to be in a chair or bed with us and displays his belly for a good rubbing all the time.

He actually has his own chair at the dinner table, he just watches and waits for his dinner, but he knows it's coming with something good mixed in it. He's a rather fussy eater, but his weight is good. He does get really mad at us if we leave him to go out for dinner though, he knows that is his time and resents missing it.

He always looks great and is quite proud of that!

We just spent the weekend of the 4th in Maine. He doesn't really like the car ride (5 hours), but he has cousins up there he loves to play with, a border collie who is 1 month older than Bear and a chocolate lab who is just 9 months now.

He's a rather lazy boy, I would call him a lounger...we have to work on getting him up and out in the morning, he'd just assume sleep in though.

We love him!!!!”

Thanks for sharing Bear’s story with us Karen and family!
