Kurakuma Schipperkes started as a mother/daughter team, and we actually started all the wrong ways! First, we bought a Schipperke from a pet store, tried to show her, and planned to breed her. So then we joined a Schipperke club, and a really nice person decided to help us. We were given a bitch who needed a nice home to live in - Windrift Abby, so we could breed our own show dog. Around this time, our pet shop Schipperke developed a lot of health problems, and we learned a big lesson about using quality lines in your breeding program. So we chose a male, bred a litter, and dived straight into a nightmare! Abby did not have milk, and we lost all but one puppy before we sorted it out, and she was raised like a baby on a bottle. After going through all of that, we named the puppy Against All Odds, and boy did she live up to her name! She became a champion, produced 8 champions, 27 champion grand puppies, and 27 great grand puppy champions! Her line has literally traveled all over the world. She was our beginning, she was our beloved, and we miss her to this day. Allie is literally the definition of Kurakuma Schipperkes!
