Schipperke
The Belgian “shepherd” dog is a small companion that has proved its worth over time in military and civilian fields. Formerly referred to as Spitzke, the Schipperke exudes so much energy and as such, is known for its agility. Discover more about our Schipperke puppies for sale below!
Breed History
The Schipperke (originally pronounced “sheep-er-ker” but commonly pronounced “skip-er-kee” in America) was probably used during hunts and fishing expeditions as most of the early information surrounding the breed were from articles on hunting and fishing. After years of its existence and being called different names, it was finally accepted as a breed in the early 1880s. It was not until 1889 that its defining characteristics were compiled and published.
Some articles relate the Schipperke to the Spitz but they are two different breeds. It is a descendant of the Leauvenaar which was also a shepherd dog exclusive to a province in Belgium.
Temperament
Although the Schipperke exhibits a high level of submission to its master, it is a difficult and mischievous dog, always seeking avenues to cause trouble. Little wonder it is also called “the little black devil”.
Nonetheless, their troublesome traits can be managed with consistent training and supervision after which they would become reliable but only to an extent because on some other days, they may reconsider their allegiance. Their ability to do this is also seen in the way they investigate whatever tickles their fancy. They would employ all their skills in satisfying their curiosity which is sometimes to their detriment.
When the Schipperkes are around other dogs, they lose all the training they ever had. Their small size doesn’t limit them from trying to intimidate other dogs by barking and making aggressive moves. For a dog lover planning to buy a Schipperke, it would a bad idea to have other dogs around and unless one possesses some experience in dog training and grooming, buying a Schipperke could be a wrong move.
Environment
Due to their high energy levels, the Schipperkes are not to be caged. They need an environment with adequate space to allow them to run around and satisfy their hunger for trouble but this should also be properly fenced to prevent them from taking the trouble outside.
They can be kept as household pets as they do not pose to be as aggressive with humans as they are with other animals but this should not be done without training. If kept as household pets, they should be looked after closely and taken out of the yard once in a while.
Exercise.
With all the details provided already, it is apparent that the Schipperke loves to “work out” hence, their owners should be lovers of workouts too. The space in the yard should allow them to do some exercise but it is also essential that they are taken out at least once a week.
Activities that involve thinking and sourcing are also good ideas for exercise because of how independent and curious the Schipperkes are. If allowed to explore, they should be kept under close watch as they may wander far off just to get answers to the questions they may have.
Grooming.
For a furry dog, Schipperkes are relatively cheap to maintain. Their grooming process requires little to no specialty in dog grooming. The basics are a brush to keep the fur looking healthy and a nail clipper to trim the length of the thick nails on their paws.
The only major concern arises when they begin to shed their undercoat which only happens twice or thrice a year and maybe more in females. When this happens, warm baths should be taken to help remove the coat faster instead of letting it litter the whole yard. Regular brushing at this time would also help in getting out the blown coat.
Our Schipperke puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. USDA licensed commercial breeders account for less than 20% of all breeders in the country.
The unregulated breeders who are selling outside of the USDA regulations and without a license are what we consider to be “Puppy Mills.” We are committed to offering Schipperke puppies who will grow up to become important members of your family.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Friendly, playful, loving, obedient- this dog, originally a herding dog, has stolen the hearts of humans over and over again with all its amazing character. They come in just four colors and they are beautiful. Discover more about our Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies for sale below!
Breed history
The Pembroke is a herding dog, it is one of the two breeds known as the welsh corgi, with the other being the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. According to research, they are both descendants of a northern Spitz-type dog.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is one of those dogs with a confusing origin as another set of people will argue that they are descendants of crossbreeding between the Swedish Vallhund and local welsh dogs.
But what can be said about them is that they have been in existence for quite some time and that they are popular among the British as the preferred dog of Queen Elizabeth as they have been with the British royalty for about 70 years. So that answers been here for a century question.
Temperament
The Pembroke are eager-to-please dogs, very loyal, affectionate and loving. These traits make them very easy to train. They are very intelligent dogs and are named the 11th most intelligent dog in the world.
They are very alert and they make good guard dogs as they are constantly keeping watch and guarding their owners and their owner’s properties. They do not do a lot of barking, so if you hear them bark, best believe they found something suspicious and are trying to warn you.
They love to be the center of attention of adults and children alike, making them a perfect family dog. They are not very friendly towards other dogs as they are towards humans, maybe because they are wired to either be with humans or herd animals.
Environment
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an outdoor dog and while it can adapt to living inside the house, they would prefer a place where they can comfortably run around and chase after things.
They are naturally herding dogs so they are wired to chase after anything at all, the fence around the yard should be strong to avoid them breaking out of it because a goat ran past the yard.
They have no issue being in either the cold or the hot weather as they adapt very well to either. This is because they are natural herding dogs, and they are out in the shed a lot, so they are built to adapt to any weather.
Exercise
They need to exercise at least 30 minutes to one hour daily because they tend to gain weight quickly left to sit doing nothing for quite some time, and because they are great runners, and they need to retain that ability.
A Pembroke Welsh Corgi would need to stay hydrated during an exercise, make sure you always have water with you when you are taking them on a run or a jog. They would not mind a track race, so try one where you run ahead of them and give them the chance to catch up with you. this exercise is good for their physical health as it is good for their mental health.
Grooming
The Pembroke is constantly shedding, so grooming will be quite a chore. You have to comb their fur daily to get rid of the shed hair that would remain naturally on their coats, even after shedding.
You have to bathe them well during the dry season to get rid of the dead hairs, and then you have to comb as well to get rid of the hairs, but you have to wait till they are completely dry before you can start combing to get rid of the hairs.
