The character
Schipperkes have an excess of personality, which we do not find in other
breeds. He is not easily impressed. It is an extremely curious, alert and
watchful little dog, very affectionate, always busy, all the time nosing around
and exploring.
the
smallest shepherd dog in the world
By nature
self-assured and tenacious; despite his size, no complexes whatsoever. He can be
suspicious of strangers. He guards his house and family just like a big
shepherd. His size makes him ideal for you if you are cramped for room or live
in a flat: in that case he is the excellent guardian you are looking for.
House dog
He is very fond of children, but he will be suspicious of
anyone trespassing in his domain. An
adaptable housedog, for both city and country living; needs minimal grooming,
only brushing
and combing; trimming of the coat or modelling of any kind as in many small
breeds completely unnecessary.
Working dog
Tireless,
athletic, lively and agile, a small piece of dynamite. He’s an attentive and
very busy little fellow. He needs physical as well as mental activity. Playing
with him, talking to him and training in basic obedience will keep him busy. His
small size makes that he is completely happy and lives his live to the full even
in a small garden.
That's
the schipperke...
Conclusion: a small and (for this reason also) undemanding
ideal housedog; he requires no special care and has a very low incidence of
medical problems. Has a strong personality and is sometimes a bit
stubborn; he wants personal attention and a loving treatment like a full
member of the family; as a return he will do everything to please his boss or
mistress.
He
is not easily impressed.
Schipperkes are eager pupils and learn quickly. Relatively speaking a rather
robust and sturdy little dog, he requires no special care and has a very low
incidence of medical problems.
Life span 13 to 16 years; he
will give you affection and joy (he’s a little clown) for many years!
