Schipperkes are an absolutely awesome breed. They aren't for everyone, so we would like to take a moment to tell you a little bit about what they are like, and their true history.
The first three things you should know about this breed is that they are intelligent, independent, and energetic. They need an outlet and they are likely to get into everything. They love nothing better than to solve puzzles, whether that its what they need to do to get that treat from you, or how they can jump from one piece of furniture to the other to get to your counter and eat your lunch! They make great agility dogs and are generally fearless, but a Schipperke might find agility as fun without you as with you! They do not do well with traditional obedience methods, they work best with training methods which allows them to engage their brains and figure things out. They are often great ratters, so small animals might not be safe around them!
As time goes on, we hope to add more to this page about the breed. Below are some links to what we are working on right now!
