SCHIPPERKE



The history of the Schipperke dates back from Belgium in the 1600s, where he was known as an active, agile watchdog and hunter of vermin. A highly adaptable breed, the Schipperke was at home on the canal barges, herding livestock, hunting game, or simply guarding his domain. Although small and compact, he is not short on intelligence, courage or devotion. A true companion dog, the Schipperke is devoted to the family, particularly the children.
