Long Shot Of That Jumping Sign~♫

Our previous two Schipperkes lived to be 15 and 13 years old, now we have an 11 month old male Schip. They are great dogs if you want a very active intelligent dog. They always want to be with you and do whatever you're doing. They have a lot of "personality" and will often make you laugh. We take ours camping, canoing, sailing, x-c skiing, hiking, etc. I highly recommend them! The most important thing though is to get one from a good reputable breeder. Believe it or not there are puppy mills that crank out poor quality Schips that only slightly resemble the true breed. Pet stores often buy from mills so avoid them too. Start with the Schipperke Club of America website, look up breeders, and so on.
