Re: [Sydney] Anyone on Schipperke

Yes, very hardy breed and it is also called a ship dog coz sailors used to have this dog to control the mouse population and as companions......

Re: [Sydney] Anyone on Schipperke

Yes, it is a spitz breed and they are very high in energy... they also heard but they are more popularly known as ship dogs..... that's part of their history....

hard to find in Malaysia coz no one has thought of importing the breed here..... Not many has thought of this breed coz they mainly are focusing on popular breeds... like 10 years ago, no one knows what's a Welsh Corgi or a Basenji..... Now there are a few registered Corgis and one Basenji in Malaysia.....

Re: [Sydney] Anyone on Schipperke

Schipperke are popular to some coz they are a bit like terries, they like chasing mice... on ships in the old days, this breed were kept on ships and tankers to control the mice population... the dogs will chase and catch the mice......so the ship always has a very low population of these rodents when the dog is on board, soem say the schipperke are better at catching mice than cats....

Re: [Sydney] Anyone on Schipperke

My boxers have docked tails but I leave the ears natural coz the ears are more painful, when they dock dog's tails, it is done 3 days after birth so the puppies heal very fast from the surgery and pain and will not remember about it at all..... ears ah, has to be done when they are 3 of 4 months and the cropping can last for a painflu 2 months....

Re: [Sydney] Anyone on Schipperke

It depends, if bring to the vet, the vet will cut the tail and take a hot iron and burn the tip so the blood will stop flowing and there won't be an infection. Some breeders tie the puppy's tail with a rubberband till it is very tight and the tail will die and fall off after 3 days.... it is painful but when it is done when the puppies are 2 days old then they will forget the pain.... if done when the puppies are older, like a week or more, they will know more pain and will remember it for life!
