This is purebred Schipperke is 7 - 8 years old. In very good shape but he does need a teeth cleaning. Very friendly and seems to get along with other dogs and ignores cats. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccines but still needs to be tested for Heartworms. As this is done his page will be updated. He likes to be in your lap and be with you at all times. He is very inquisitive and loving. Will like a couple of good walks a day. He is an active, curious dog. Schipperkes are small, intense, and highly active Belgian dogs often called "little black devils" due to their mischievous, curious, and willful nature. Weighing 10-16 lbs, these confident, fox-faced dogs are excellent, vocal watchdogs with a strong, independent streak, making them best suited for active owners, rather than beginners.
