The Schnauzer originated in the late 1880's on German farms to combat rodents., as a company of mares and horses, thus to be an alert and intelligent company of the families. The fur on both the beards and the legs has a function from its origins since it serves as camouflage to mislead rodents that bite the fur assuming that it is the skin of the animal..

Schipperke

The Schipperke is a happy dog, resistant, energetic, a skillful Hunter and good guardian.

Content

History

The origins of the Schipperke they are very old. Already, In documents dating from the end of the 17th century, there is talk of a dog whose characteristics perfectly describe a specimen of Schipperke, who lived mainly with the midwives of the Saint Gรฉey neighborhood of Brussels.

It is the typical dog of the shoemakers of that time that, In addition to making shoes, they used to organize very peculiar dog shows., Since that most importantly was not the aspect of canine copy but the necklace that had been, manufactured by hand by the shoemakers.

Some authors speak of a legend that, somehow describes a key feature of this dog.

Apparently, in one of those dog shows a zapatero not endured defeat and moved by the ira that it caused him to lose in an outburst was and cut off the tail to the winning dog.

But, against all odds the copy of the amputated tail was so successful that thereafter the amputation of the tail began to apply to all copies.

On behalf of the race comes from the Flemish, Schipperke means "little boatman". And the man was given because this dogs accompanied the archers that pass through the channel of Flanders, they were aboard the boats eliminate any small vermin that would cast and also performed guard duties, given that barked furiously to any strange.

With how small it is, it is a dog that has many typical characteristics of large breeds.

The Schipperke It is one of the smallest Spitz-type, with which it shares much similar. Among those breeds of medium to small size similar in appearance to the Schipperke, in different parts of the world we find the Wolfsspitz (Keeshond), GroรŸspitz, Mittelspitz, Kleinspitz, Zwergspitz (Pomeranian), Samoyed, the Norwegian Elkhound, Volpino Italiano, Secular, Finnish Spitz, India Spitz, Japanese Spitz and the American Eskimo dog.

The puppies are born with tails in different lengths, and in Canada and the United States, the tail is usually docked the day after birth. In countries that have a ban on tail docking, the Schipperke they show off their natural tail, It falls curved over the back of the dog.

The Schipperke has no particular health problems, they tend to live until the 17 or 18 years. But, inactivity, lack of exercise and overnutrition are very harmful, and can lead to problems in the joints, the bones and the conditions of the teeth, heart, lung or digestive system.

The regular weekly brushing is usually sufficient to keep the coat in good condition. No need to cut hair, they tend to move it several times a year (the females, more than males).

Its generally alert nature can make this breed a good watchdog.. Although grazing breeds have a tendency to be vocal, the Schapendoes not usually a great barker. But, can become an annoying barker if left to himself and bored.

Like most herding dogs, the Schapendoes requires a lot of socializing to make sure you don't get too cautious or suspicious. Socialize puppies at a young age with many people, different environments and circumstances so they can learn to adapt.

Run, do not walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee for their puppies, that affirms that the race is 100 percent healthy and have no known problems or that your puppies are isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the breed's health problems and the incidence with which they occur in their lines..

Responsible breeders do DNA testing of their dogs for PRA and have them examined by a certified ophthalmologist before breeding.. They also examine their dogs for hip dysplasia.

If a breeder tells you they don't need to do such testing because they have never had any problems in their lines or their dogs have been vet checked or give any other excuse for skimping on genetic testing of dogs, leave immediately.

Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest and best looking dogs, but sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas and a puppy develops one of these diseases despite good husbandry practices. Advances in veterinary medicine mean that in many cases dogs can still live a good life. If you are going to have a puppy, ask the breeder about the ages of the dogs in their lines and the typical causes of death.
