About the Schipperke

The Schipperke is a dog breed that has the interesting nickname of LBD, short for ‘little black devil’. However, don’t let this slightly terrifying name give you any bad impressions of this wonderful dog breed.

They gained their nickname due to their fearlessness and devotion to their owners as well as their spirited and animated personality. They’re ready to protect their loved ones at all times and therefore make a great pet for anyone looking for a guard dog.

Whilst their independent streak isn’t for everyone, they adapt well to most homes, especially those of experienced dog owners. If you’ve been thinking about adoption or purchasing a dog breed like the Schipperke, here’s some more information on this wonderful breed.
