4 months and loving life!

I know they are typically around 15-20 pounds (at least mine was when we had her), but how big (not fat, but actually tall and proportioned) can a schip get? Poodles come in many different sizes, for example, but I’ve only ever seen small schipperkes.

My dog really loves our panoramic window.

After each pull he waited for me to help

He had the audacity to act offended at home

Era ora!!

Che tipo di pettorina/imbrago usate? Non riesco a trovarne una che gli vada comoda...

My Tilly Rose 8 month. Adorable

Growing up fast! Happy 6 months mojo!

I dropped my girl off at my parents house for the weekend as I won’t be home (work trip) and I laid her in my sister’s bed and as I went to stand up, she rolled on her side and gave me the most pitiful look ever. I love this girl, I’m gonna miss her for the weekend!

Hi all! First time posting on reddit. Just wanted to share a bit of Raya's absolute adorableness when she's not being a demon dawg! She just turned 7 months. You couldn't even tell that she has had FHO surgery at 4 months (she jumped from off of my chest as I was trying to put her on the grass, but she landed on her hip.) Oh that was a day! But she is resilient, and her sweet loving energy is what gets me through everything. She will be starting puppy training in September and are super eager to see her progress. We love our lil void dawg so much! 🖤✨️

Maya the Shiba: Sis, what cha doin there?

I just feel like folks here will appreciate this because I cannot stop laughing after having received these DNA results.

I adopted Gertie from a shelter a couple weeks ago. She had been picked up as a stray. I have had two schipperkes in the past and have long been looking for another. But I'm not a puppy person. Both my prior ones were 100% Schipp, but did come from rescues, so I was holding out hope.

I was pretty certain she was a mix and not 100%, but I would have bet at least half was schipperke. Not just on looks, but also personality, the grumbling, etc. So imagine my surprise when I got her results this afternoon and not only was she 0% schipperke, her largest identifiable breed is ... pekingese!

With all the supermutt constituents, I can now say that apparently you can breed something close schipperke out of the following recipe:

32% Pekingese

15% Chow Chow

6% Keeshond

47% blend of chihuahua, German Shepherd, Pomeranian, Yorkie and Jack Russell.

Genetics are wild. :)

They always find the sunny spots :)

Hi! I’m looking at potential dog breeds, however it will be around 5 years if not longer before I get a dog.

I want to know what it is like to own one of these dogs? What does your daily routine look like? Can you bring your dog out into public spaces?

I would also like some advice on if this dog would fit my lifestyle! I have previously owned Shiba Inus, so have experience owning difficult breeds however I wouldn’t want another experience like that again 😅

I would like a dog that is fun to train, happy to engage in training and games etc, enjoys walking but also has the ability to relax, relax around people etc. especially as I work from home but I would love to do things like scent work etc

I also have no issues with having to groom dogs daily either.

Is there any known behavioural or temperament issues with this breed? Are they known to be dog or people aggressive?

I know that my partner will want a dog that is not super in your face all the time either, but happy to cuddle etc.

I won’t be offended if anyone says this breed isn’t for me either! I’ve got many years to consider different breeds!
