have u heard of this breed

• have u heard of this breed Roxie dogz Posted : 7/21/2007 5:34:41 PM My dog is a skipperke.[sm=wink3.gif] Which is great, but no one has ever heard of that breed. When people ask what he is they go "skipper-what". Some people say he looks like a pig. There aren't any pics of skipperkes! I have to draw pics of him.

• Erica Posted : 7/21/2007 5:46:01 PM I can't believe anyone would think a schipperke looks like a pig!!!  I got to know the breed a bit years ago because a very popular (and good) handler in the area bred them.  Very cute little guys - don't know why there's not more of them. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Jewlieee Posted : 7/21/2007 6:15:58 PM A guy I work with had 2 so I'm familiar with them a bit.  (the male recently go hit by a car though)  The female is a bit neurotic but I chalk that up to lack of training. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Harleygirl Posted : 7/21/2007 6:35:40 PM I absolutely love these dogs.  My grandma has had two.  Her first succombed to cancer, and now she's got Zorra.  She's a funny dog, she'll play in the morning for about 10 to 15 minutes, then be set for the rest of the day.    Does your dog patty cake when it wants something?  Both of my grandma's dogs did/do this.  And they like to smile.  Nothing like seeing a pearly white smile shining through black fur.    How old is he/she?  What's his/her name?  Here are some more pictures and good info (if you haven't seen it already) [linkhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/schipperke.htm]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/schipperke.htm[/link]   There is a picture of a 40lb male among them.  And when the standard is 12-18lbs that is very sad. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rolenta Posted : 7/21/2007 6:42:26 PM I like them, although I saw a picture from a really old dog book a while back with one in it, and I have to say, I prefer the way they used to look. They're still very cute, though! I don't understand how someone could think they look like a pig, that just doesn't make sense to me. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Laura Rebetsky Posted : 7/21/2007 9:56:19 PM I had never heard of them until I started coming to this board. I saw one in person a few weeks ago at my local AC facility.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Liesje Posted : 7/21/2007 11:05:07 PM One of few small dog breeds I really love.  An acquaintance of mine has one and it's really good at agility. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• TexasDaisy Posted : 7/21/2007 11:23:39 PM Our dog trainer lady has 2 of them. Very cute, smart little dogs. They've always looked like tail-less black foxes to me. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lorib Posted : 7/22/2007 2:18:18 AM DS#1's best friend has two dogs--a Westie and a Skiperke.  They are a hoot--they tear through the house together.  The cats all head for the hills when Molly and Obie race around! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Pwca Posted : 7/22/2007 3:28:14 AM I have to admit- they're a breed I can't STAND. Not in any bad way- I mean, I don't hate them, and they're very cute- they havea lot of the physical traits I love in dogs (small/medium size, double coat, pointy ears, bunnybutt) but there's just something about their personalities that turns me off! I really want to love them but they just don't click with me. It's one of those funny things! I looked very seriously into them when I was first choosing a dog breed (it came down to Schipps, corgis, and Eskies)- and I just don't click with Schipperkes!  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ottoluv Posted : 7/22/2007 12:42:15 PM They are wonderful little dogs, my aunt has one named charlotte and I have a neighbor with one as well. I personally love their personality and have considered getting one in future when I'm able to get a bigger house. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
