My Schip "Shadow" was only a half breed but down deep was truly Schipperke. Smart as a whip and the best friend I ever had. She had her tail and though most locally, recognize the breed with tails docked, I would never imagine her with out it.
With or without tails they have beautiful lines and are the most loving breed. She was way smarter than me.
I had a schipperke but we got him from a bad breeder who didn't socialise him and as a result he was scared of everybody except me so we had to give him away. It was heartbreaking.
@samanthahaley Thank you! Yeah we heard schipperkes can be shy and then read that if they see 100 differenct faces in their first 3 months they are fine. Different ages, sexes, races etc. So we did that and now he's the most social, well behaved dog in the world.
It's called "working with the dog." One of ours was raised with semi-domesticated wolves that punked him all the time. When we got him, he was a scared mess. Time, patience, plenty of dog park, and now he's King of Dog Beach. Never quit.
@SuperPaperHearts It's actually very difficult to dock schipperke tails because you have to cut them very very short (according to show breed quality). You actually have to take off the last vertebrae before the bone of the tail starts and there is a chance that you can paralyze the dog entirely. I work at a vet clinic that actually docks tails and it's brutal and I don't like it one bit. and yes you're right Jonasc78, They have adorable tails anyways!
CUTE! I have 1 chipperke puppy!

I prefer the Schipperke without a tail, but I see why Australia doesn't allow it.

A good breeder is key too.
