This could be a cut.  A urinary tract infection needs to be ruled out as well.
This area needs to be thoroughly examined to look for a cut/laceration or possibly a bleeding skin mass.  It sounds like she is not willing to let you do that.  Also Keeshond have a lot hair, this will need to be shaved to find a cut or clean out the blood/feces.  An open wound or cut in this area can become infected very quickly.  She may need to go on antibiotics or have it closed surgically (depending upon the size).  Feces are a breeding ground for maggots.  Fecal matter in the coat needs to be cleaned regularly.

Thanks for all your answers. I took her to the vet and she is on antibiotics. The vet didn't think she had a cut so we will have to see if the antibiotics help.

You need to get the pup to the vet, and do this as soon as you can, it sounds like an infection of the urinary tract. Hope this helps, good luck.

Thanks for your response. She seems to be fine and the blood does not appear to be coming out of her but around the area. Could this be a cut?

It could be, but I think it's something else really. If it continues, I would definitely get her seen o.k.? Please remember to leave your rating, as we both benefit from it, I know, it's shameless of me to ask.
