Schipperkes are robust, hardy dogs often nicknamed LBD, for the little black devil. They’re fearless and devoted, always on guard to protect their family from harm. The Shipperke’s small size and easy-care coat are attractive qualities, but their intelligence and curiosity can lead them into trouble.

In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Schipperke that you might not know.
A Quick Overview:
Group: Companion Dogs
Weight: 11 to 18 pounds
Height: 10 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder
Life Expectancy: 13 – 15 years
Schipperkes are beautiful small black dogs with pricked ears and a coat that gives the impression of a sloped back. They’re known for their beauty and feisty nature. Beware if you think he’s simply a sweet little companion dog; the Schipperke has the “small dog…big personality” persona down pat. In 1882, a writer in the breed’s homeland of Belgium described the Schipperke as “a little all-black devil, but minus the cloven hoof and the tail.” He’s changed little since then.
The loyal and intelligent Schipperke originated in Belgium as a small version of a black Belgian sheepdog known as the Leauvenaar. The name Schipperke is thought to have come from a word meaning “little shepherd,” but the dogs were best known for guarding the boats that plied the canals between Brussels and Antwerp. Shoemakers and other tradesmen kept them for their ratting abilities.
Today the Schipperke is a companion who captains his family in much the same way as he once led canal boats. Always alert, he patrols his home and property, barking warnings as needed and seeking out and destroying any mice, squirrels, or other vermin that dare invade his space. He wants to be involved in all family activities and loves children of all ages, playing pattycake and smiling all the while. He’s protective of and devoted to his people and can be aloof toward strangers until he decides they’re okay.
The Schipperke’s size and easy-care coat are popular characteristics. He doesn’t shed excessively, except for seasonal heavy sheds once or twice a year. Weekly brushing keeps his coat clean and free of dead hair.

BULLSHIT. U FORGOT TO SAY THEY BITE & ATTACK THERE OWNER!! MY SHIPPORKEE BITE ME I NEEDED 70 STICHES!! FUCKED UP BREED PLUS THEY PISS AND SHIT ALL OVER THE HOUSE!! JUST ASK PERRY REICH THE X CONVICT !!
i just discovered this breed!! theyre so cute and chonk
I think you summed it up. Mine is 1 yr old and I have had her since 8 weeks. She is currently doing nose work and I was excited that you said they make excellent emergency service dogs I would like to do that with her. She is busy and you need to keep them engaged with new things. You can’t laugh when they are outsmarting you it just encourages them.
My Pippa will be 4 in a couple weeks. She's my 4th LBD. She will chase everything from bugs to birds, but is exceptionally loving and actually listens but she is an escape artist!
I had 3 growing up. We had to line out entire backyard with bricks to stop them escaping. Also if you live in warm climates you sometimes need to brush daily. During summer it was always around 30 Celsius and so much shedding. Also found that some heartworm tablets aren't schipperke friendly so research first (unfortunately my first one passed away due to this).
I don’t care about house rules, I’ve vanished some.
I love my Sckips .
Azel my little boy dog has epilepsy but it seems to be controlled by meds. Would highly recommend the breed
So bloody true, especially about the nails. I have to get my husband to help me clip ‘em because Schipperkes are also stronger than they appear. We play a game called Find It where she goes around the house looking for treats I’ve hidden and she’s obsessed with the ball launcher. My profile picture is actually my schip! XD
Adopted a blonde one from the shelter. He loves strangers and sheds a ton like a husky!!!
We have our second schipperke. Our first one died at 21 years old. We love this breed but our second pup has one floppy ear. She is 18 months old. Any suggestions?
Lost my girl at 14 years old last week. She was VERY energetic right to the end and while she was very protective, she was also an incredibly sweet dog who loved affection.
I have a boy Schip and Pomeranian,,he looks just like this black dog but has a white patch,,His name is Boosie,,The best dog l have ever owned,🦋💕
my schipperke macie was the love of my life
👌👌👌
This is the most accurate Schipperke factoid list I've heard to date.
daaaaaggs
They look like a black fox😂
I never had any troubles training my schipper keys and they were fine with other dogs I dog sit for people they come to my house and they never had a problem with any of the visiting dogs I think it's all how you raise them. And they're very smart and devoted
I can't believe this nonsense about being suspicious and dangerous around other people how are these people raising these dogs that they're so poorly behaved?! Mine were never a problem. Nor were the ones that I first met that turned me on to the breed. They were all very well behaved
i have a schipperkey and i am soon gonna get one more and ima say ehhh mine is ehh a bit wierd-
