Caring for a Schipperke

Health

Prone to patellar luxation and progressive retinal atrophy. The breed also carries a documented predisposition to Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPS IIIB), a rare inherited metabolic disorder — genetic testing is available to screen carriers.

Nutrition

A quality small-to-medium breed diet in measured portions.

Grooming

The dense double coat sheds moderately and needs regular brushing, more during seasonal shedding.

Training

Intelligent and independent — consistent, engaging training works well, and this breed makes a genuinely alert watchdog.

About the breed

A small Belgian breed historically used as a watchdog and ratter on barges and in shops, with a distinctive fox-like face and all-black coat.

Curious and energetic, Schipperkes are alert little dogs with genuine watchdog instincts.
