Small in size, but big in character, there was a long debate whether these dogs were terriers or sheepdogs. A Schipperke is an all-around dog: it has strong herding, hunting, and watching instincts. They are fearless and independent, smart and willful. They are a high-energy dog with an intense curiousity about everything and therefore require a great deal of attention and stimulation. Consistent, positive training is a must or life can become a contest of wills. They are longer-lived than some breeds. External link
