Each Friday I’ll feature a dog breed that you may not necessarily see around your block. Feel free to send me a note if you are curious about a particular breed or perhaps are interested in a certain rescue dog you saw at your local shelter. And if your hound is a unique one, send me a picture and I’ll feature her breed the following week.

Have you ever seen a Schipperke? At first sight you may mistake these Belgium dogs as mini sheep dogs. These black watchdogs make great companions and live to about 15 years and top out at 18 lbs. Don’t mistake their small size for fragile; they have great personalities and are ready for any adventure presented to them. They are both protective and loyal yet inquisitive and vocal. Training requires some effort on your part so long as you keep it interesting and positive.

To learn more about these Belgium dogs, visit Schipperke Club Of America.
