Breed Breeders Champion Digby Establishing Importers Owners Played Wingfield Owner Zaandam

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1934, features Mrs. Wingfield Digby, a pioneering figure in the history of the Keeshound breed in the United Kingdom. Surrounded by the autumnal splendor of the English countryside, Mrs. Digby proudly poses with her beloved Keeshounds, Kendrik and Champion Konstant van Zaandam. As one of the first importers of Keeshounds into the UK, Mrs. Digby played a significant role in establishing this ancient Dutch breed in her homeland. The Keeshound, a medium-sized breed with a distinctive fox-like appearance, has a rich history that dates back to the 17th century in the Netherlands. Known for their agility, intelligence, and loyalty, these dogs were once the companions of the Dutch militia, the "Kees," from whom they derived their name. In this photograph, Kendrik and Champion Konstant van Zaandam display the breed's characteristic tri-colored coat, erect ears, and alert expressions. Their close bond with Mrs. Digby is evident as they gaze at her with unwavering devotion. The autumnal leaves that surround them add a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a scene that beautifully captures the essence of the Keeshound and their connection to their human companions.
