Hello. Just wanted to ask everyone how soon after 3rd vaccines did you start to walk your pups in public places? I have heard several different things about some waiting 2 weeks after, some said only waited 2 days, and some said I didn’t wait at all. Just kind of confused thank you all.

Does yours rather sit in a closet than on the couch with you? Does yours rather sit in the corner by the door than spend time with you? Does yours rather sleep under the bed than with you?

This is how mine is. But gosh I love him!

She’s 3 months old Ukrainian girl ☺️

I'm not sure if other schip owners experience this or if my dog Koda just comes off particularly feminine.

Nobody meeting him ever asks his gender, they simply ask "What's her name?"

I had a chiweenie and he was the love of my life, I grew up with him. I had him for 15 years before health complications took him. He was 19

So I'm just wondering, will my chipper live to an old age? I don't know much about schipperke's bc she's my first. How old are your babies?

Meet Shadow! We rescued him in 2010 when he was three! He was a lively one, chaser of rabbits and hot air balloons, raider of the kitchen trash can, shaker of toys when he knew his supper was on the way, and a treat thief from one of our other dogs. He is now blind 😥 and sleeps a lot more, but still wants to walk and even run sometimes. Love him to pieces.

I’ve owned two schipperkes and both have seizures and they are from different breeders. They have seizures every 2-4 months. Anyone else had a schipperke with seizures?

First of all - hello, it's my first post here :-)

We were looking for a pup to buy, but just learned there is possibility to adopt one from a shelter. He is almost 4 years old, but doesn't know any commands and is not potty trained. My questions are as follows:

1. What are the chances that he will learn all this? Will it be as quickly as if he was a puppy?
2. Can you train him on your own or is it better to have a trainer?
3. How to find any good training resources or a trainer?

We live in Belgium. Would be very grateful for any tips!

Didn’t like my new husband until my cat died… the cat liked my husband and they were together a lot Hated my dying cat Walks on sidewalks even when I’m walking in the grass Licks the air constantly when happy Burrows Prefers to sleep under our bed than with us… and when he does want to sleep with us he makes us pick him up and put him on the bed Sploots Great sense of hearing Highly food motivated Has bit every family member Particular with how you cuddle him Best buddy to stay in bed sick with all day Stays in bed after me and my husband have gotten up Hates weed smoke Doesn’t like guitars, the vacuum or fires Looks anywhere from a bat, rodent, bear cub, fox

What are traits of your Schippke?

My wife and I have to leave every weekday for work. Almost every day we've found that she's chewed up something new. We've tried different ways to get her to quit but no luck. Any advice?

So after a week of having my baby girl we finally came up with a name… her name is CHIA! 🖤🌱 I feel like it suits her so well cause she’s soo tiny and black like a little chia seed 🥰 thank you all who suggested names they were all so cute!
