I'm glad to see this video. I'm smitten with these dogs.

Welcome sherri !! Schipperkes can be mischievous, but they certainly are adorable dogs. Thank you very much for your comment. It is gratifying to know that our content has been useful to you. Have a great day ♥

@@ABC_animal_kingdom thank you! Vince reminds me in actions and size of my Shiba inu Levi. I think a schipperke would make a good play mate for him.

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

Welcome Levi ! ♥ With a fenced-in backyard and daily exercise to keep them tired and happy, they're sure to make a great duo. We'd love to hear from you if you ever do adopt a schipperke.

@@ABC_animal_kingdom hello Yes we live in the country and I have a fenced in dog pen that my husband built. It's approximately 30 feet wide by at least 60 or more feet long and it's fencing is buried about 10 inches down and is still 5 ft. high. And even at that we don't leave Levi out very long bc my hubby's afraid a hawk or cyotes will get him. Do you know of any schipperke rescue centers anywhere?

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

Hi Sherri That is just PERFECT! It is the best to be careful with coyotes and wild life in general that because there are many related accidents. We have never contacted them, we hope it will be useful to you: schipperkerescue.net/adoptfoster.htm

what a great little dog & yes that's how we pronounce it in the USA. Not much grooming witch is nice. Another one of very smart 🐕 s for sure. They definitely need a family with kids. Great family 🐕.

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

We loved getting to know this breed of dog and it seemed beautiful and ideal for a family or small houses! ♥

[@handroids1981]

Hello, do you mind if I ask why they need a family WITH kids? Any breed I look at MUST be safe around children. Thanks in advance.

Welcome Syl Norely! Thanks for your comment. Have a great day!!

One more thing only thought that they were black so how interesting to know that they have different colors

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

It also surprises us because it is difficult to find photos of them in other colors. We love learning so much about so many races♥ By the way, we are working on the Husky!

DNA testing has shown that Schipperkes are closely related to Pomeranians and other Spitz breeds. They are a spitz, the debate is long over. Great video!

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

Welcome Travis Sullivan !! First of all, our apologies for the delay in response. It's amazing how DNA studies allow us to learn about evolution and lineages, isn´t it? Thank you very much for your comment, we really appreciate it. Talking about Pomeranians, video is coming soon.

LBD's with an invisible on/off switch for their hearing aids. Can't understand why everyone doesn't have at least one.

[@rolferikbaklkk6613]

The Norwegian queen Maud had a schipperke with her when she and her husband King Haakon 7th came to Norway after the breakup of the Swedish-Norwegian union.

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

Welcome Rolf Erik Bakløkk !! Wow that is an impressive fact! We missed it when researching about the breed. What an honor for Schipperkes to have accompanied royalty, isn't it? Thank you very much for you comment and for providing us with this information ♥

[@leonaessens4399]

Schipperke is a Dutch/Flemish word derived from "Scheperke", meaning shepherd, although they were also used as guard dogs! The Dutch pronunciation of the "sch" combination cannot be reproduced in English because it doesn't exist. Usually it ends up getting pronounced as "sk", Skipperke. The same happens, as a for instance, to the name of the Dutch port city of Scheveningen, unpronouncable in English (or any other language, for that matter) and becoming "Skeveningen" or "Sheveningen". In WW2, the Dutch Resistance used "Scheveningen" as a password because even Germans can't pronounce it. Schipperkes are always black, and they look impossibly cute with their unmistakable shepherd heads. When you look closely, a Schipperke's head very much betrays its family relationship to the three main Western European shepherd breeds, Belgian, German and Dutch.

Welcome Leo Naessens !! Very knowledgeable about the breed, it shows your fondness for it. Thank you very much for your comment, it adds a lot to the information given in the video (PD: so sorry or the delay). Have a great day! ♥

Had 2 in u.s. Only black allowed in u.s. Very active but in short burst. Aloof with others but love their home folks. Mine never chased my cats and did very well with invisible fencing when properly trained. Just a blast to have around and realy know how to beg for their wants! Train train train. We lost the female from autoimmune diseases. We got her and her brother from a drug bust. No telling what she went through. If your willing to do positive feedback training you will find a perfect little captain.

[@ABC_animal_kingdom]

Welcome Greg !! First of all our respect and congratulations for adopting and taking care of them ♥ We are very sorry for your loss. But you can remember her happily because surely you changed her life for the better... giving her the chance to know what a home is ♥♥♥ Thank you very much for your comment, for taking the time. We appreciate it very much. We wish you both a great day!!
