They are active hunters, intelligent yet independent, and make loyal family companions.

Everything the schipperke owner needs to know!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Schipperkes (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
I always found my friend's schipperkes quirky and inaccessible -- but then i babysat a schip puppy when a pal went on vacation ... and fell in love. Now I own two of the little buggers, and they're the best dogs I've ever owned. I've owned Labs (2), a Bulldog, a Golden Retriever and several Muts (3). The thing about schipperkes is, they are a bit quirky -- but worth the effort that it takes to get to know them. This book is an excellent way to begin that learning process. It's chock full of great advice on the practicalities of owning a schipperke, plus lots of interesting side info too. Finally, it's DARN CHEAP! :) Can't beat the price.

I love Schipperkees!,

This review is from: Schipperkes (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Being one of few dog breed books on the wonderful Schipperkee, I think that this one is the best! Much better that the "Darwin" version. The pictures are classic Schipperkee, the cover picture is identical to my "Schippee"! I go along with much of what is written as far as training, feeding and temperment of this breed. I love the price and the paperback availability. It about time!
