Schipperke
|
Despite the "ch", the name of these small Belgian dogs is pronounced "Skipperkey"! They are closely related to the Spitz family and resemble a black Pomeranian with a full ruff around the neck. They are born with a long fluffy tail that curls over their backs, but are often docked very short to give them a round, tailless look. They originated back in the 1600s and have been incorrectly labeled as Belgian ship dogs. Research into their lineage finds they are more closely related to guard and herding dogs like the Belgian Shepherd!
