FAQs

Are Schipperkes good family dogs?

Schipperkes make good family dogs as they are smart, alert, confident, and form strong bonds with their owners, including children. They are affectionate and enjoy an active lifestyle, making them well-suited to families who engage in outdoor activities. However, due to their small size, they need careful supervision around very young children to avoid accidental injury.

Are Schipperkes aggressive dogs?

Schipperkes are not naturally aggressive, but they can be territorial, stubborn, and wary of strangers. Without proper training and socialisation, this may lead to nipping or aggressive behaviours. They tend to bark at the first sign of trouble, which makes them good watchdogs, though training may be required to manage excessive barking.

Why are Schipperkes called the Black Devil?

Schipperkes are nicknamed the 'Black Devil' due to their mischievous personality, boundless energy, and distinctive all-black coat. This playful yet spirited nature is characteristic of the breed.

What was the original purpose of the Schipperke breed?

The Schipperke was originally bred in Belgium as a ratter and watchdog for boats and homes. Their alertness, agility, and ability to control vermin made them ideal for these roles.
