	Dog and Kennel Magazine
		Schipperke is usually translated as "little shepherd." The root of the name is the old Flemish word scheper, meaning "shepherd." Ke is a diminutive suffix, conveying the sense of little in reference to the size of the dog.
		Although schipperkes might indeed have served aboard these boats as watchdogs and vermin catchers, the truth may be that British observers really witnessed the Keeshond, a small Dutch breed with an equally dense full coat and bristly ruff.
		Mary Cox of Shadow Schipperkes, who is also the national rescue coordinator for the Schipperke Club of America, thinks of the breed as a "cross between a two-year-old child and a raccoon, both intelligent and independent.

	The Schipperke
		The Schipperke originated in the Flemish provinces of Belgium and is sometimes described as a Dutch dog.

		The Schipperke is often called the "best house dog" because they are very fond of children, and in some cases have served as guards.

	The Schipperke
		The Schipperke's disposition is most affectionate, tinged with a good deal of jealousy, and even when made one of the household he generally attaches himself more particularly to one person, whom he "owns," and whose protection he deems his special duty.
		It was probably the introduction of the Schipperke to England that induced Belgian owners to pay greater attention to careful breeding, and a club was started in 1888 in Brussels, whose members, after "long and earnest consideration," settled a description and standard of points for the breed.
		Further, it is only necessary to remark that the Schipperke is a dog of quality, of distinct characteristics, cobby in appearance, not long in the back, nor high on the leg; the muzzle must not be weak and thin, nor short and blunt; and, finally, he is not a prick-eared, fl wire-haired terrier.
