The Schipperke is a small dog with foxlike features that
originally worked as companion, watchdog, and vermin
hunter. It often worked on boats - the word “schip” means
boat - and the breed is nicknamed “Little Captain”.
The Schipperke resembles a nordic breed, but it really stems
from a black sheepdog called the Lauvenaar, which was
bred down in size.
This is an active little dog known for being enthusiastic and
joyful. They’re small dogs built for hard work and love to be
included in whatever the family does.
