Schipperke information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Schipperke is bold and lively, they are a like a big dog packed in a little dog's body. They make good watch dogs and will courageously defend their property. They are intelligent and fairly easy to train, although they can be stubborn and headstrong. They are constantly active and always on alert. They will enjoy daily walks along with the opportunity to run off-lead. Their double coat needs weekly brushing except during the shedding period when it needs considerably more attention.
