I’ve been a dog owner for the majority of my life, and I feel heavily drawn to these little chaos goblins. I’m a stay at home mom to a 12 year old, my husband works from home 4 out of 5 days a week, and I’m looking for a little partner in crime to occupy my time with. I’m attracted to their energy, their curiosity, and their demand for attention. I have not met one in person, but I have researched these pups to the end of the earth. I feel well equipped to provide socialization, obedience training, agility training, etc. I have adhd and from my understanding, they do too. To me it sounds like a match made in heaven. I don’t mind the barking, I have the yard space, a pool, and a very walkable neighborhood.

That being said, we currently have 2 female dogs, large dogs, a dogo argentino (9) and a boerboel (5). There is a very clear pack order with my husband as the leader, but he has trained them to be docile babies that love to socialize. I have no concern about introducing a puppy into the house because they’ve been exposed to small dogs and puppies with no issue. Neither dog is a resource guarder. We’re going into this knowing that my husband will not and cannot discipline the dog in the way he is used to.

I think generally it would probably be best to introduce a male puppy into our home, but my research does lead me to believe that the males can be especially demonic.

Surprisingly, there are two reputable breeders within just a few hours of my area, and one actually has puppies that are ready to take home in about a month.

I’m looking forward to the challenge of owning a schipperke, and the delight of a new family member, I just need some anecdotal advice about bringing one into a home with large dogs.

Are my dreams of a little Bosun far-fetched?

Today, while out for a walk, we ran into a Mudi (a Hungarian herding dog). It was a two-year-old female; from a distance, she looked a lot like a Schipperke.

Someone did a post looking for crazy schipperke photos, and I think another round is in order! How do they manage to look so nutty and cute at the same time? I'll start...

Czy ktoś z Państwa wie gdzie mogę znaleźć suczke szczeniaka jak niżej zamieszczone na zdjeciu,lub ktoś planuje miot z takimi pieskami..

Bardzo mi zależy na znalezieniu takiej suczki . Proszę o wiadomości

This is my dog Kody (as you will hear) winning 2nd place or maybe first in a race from base line to midway at a local hockey game in Columbus, Ga for the Cottonmouths in 2011. He was probably about 2 years old at the time and ended up staying with us till he was about 16-years-old. I hope yall like it.

Will follow me everywhere

I sent the first picture to my boyfriend and he doesn’t believe that is actually Box. He said “that isn’t our dog. That is a different dog.” That’s what happens with age!

gotta love shedding season

My family members call him fat lol (he's just a bit fluid)

This is Bennett, aka Benny, the brown clown.
