| Max is our newest addition
to our family. After the untimely and unexpected passing of our furkid, Dave,
we decided that the house was just too quiet. I had been wanting a
Keesie for a long time so a Keeshond
was my first choice. After
researching them on the web, Charlie was keen on the idea as well, so
the hunt started! Keeshond's are not an easy breed to find, especially
in the south! After a few months of looking, I finally found a litter
that was just a few weeks old, born October 1st, and not too far away. We called the
owners and made an appointment to see the little boys (there were 8 boys
and 2 girls in this litter). Max wasn't the one that I originally picked
out, but he went straight to Charlie and love was in bloom! 4 weeks
later, we brought our little Max home....
I'd forgotten how much fun it was to have a new puppy in the house, and after losing a shoe, two bras and several socks, we finally had everything puppy proofed! We would confine him to |

the kitchen in the mornings so the house wouldn't be destroyed, and he would come lay at my feet while I worked in the afternoons. We were still trying to decide on a registered name when one day I came home and little Max was sitting at the door waiting for me - odd, we'd barricaded him in the kitchen, and the barricade was still there! I put him back in the confines of the barricade, and low and behold, he escaped again! What a little magician! We did a little research on the web for the Dutch translation of magician, and came up with his registered name, Maximillian de Tovenaar, or Max the Magician! | |

| Max not only is really cute, he's really smart too! We finished Novice I obedience training in October 02' with MADOC, we would have already started on his CD, but I had to have emergency surgery in November, so that put a big damper on me working with him. We're still debating on whether or not to show him in conformation so for now, we'll do Obedience and possibly work towards Agility. Here are some recent (3/03) pictures of him! |
