Schipperke Dog Breed Info

About Schipperkes

For centuries, Schipperkes have been bred and loved in the Flanders region of Belgium. These relatives of the Spitz family have been kept as "barge dogs" on the canals and rivers of Europe.  They have also earned their keep as carriage dogs and even as "ratters" thanks to their quickness, compact size and razor sharp senses.  The name "Schipperke" actually means "little boatman" in the Flemish language.

Schipperkes love to be involved in the family and doing something fun or useful.  They are very loyal, trainable dogs who love children and can be quite playful - though they aren't always as accepting of other dogs.

The Schipperke's fox-like features, shrill bark and muscular build are enough to make even larger dogs or human trespassers think twice about facing a Schipperke on guard duty, making them good watch dogs. They stand only about 9 to 15 inches tall, weigh about 12 to 17 lbs, and are almost always black in color - at least in North America - though sometimes they are found in cream or fawn-golden shades.

Exercise and grooming needs are minimal, making the Schipperke a good choice for elderly or disabled dog lovers. They are well suited to apartments - or large country homes.
