A Perfect Representation!

A beautiful book with stunning photographs and information. I have many copies. And about time too!I love my little Schip, Jobey, and this book helped me understand his history, how to train him, and most importantly, how to care for him. Every word in this book about these quirky little animals is true, from stubborn to smart! I love this book!

I love Schipperkees!

Being one of few dog breed books on the wonderful Schipperkee, I think that this one is the best! Much better that the "Darwin" version. The pictures are classic Schipperkee, the cover picture is identical to my "Schippee"! I go along with much of what is written as far as training, feeding and temperment of this breed. I love the price and the paperback availability. It about time!

Great Schipperke Book

This is a great info book for anyone interested in the Schipperke breed. We purchase a copy of Schipperkes for the new homes our pups go to. Lots of photos!

Everything the schipperke owner needs to know!

I always found my friend's schipperkes quirky and inaccessible -- but then i babysat a schip puppy when a pal went on vacation ... and fell in love. Now I own two of the little buggers, and they're the best dogs I've ever owned. I've owned Labs (2), a Bulldog, a Golden Retriever and several Muts (3). The thing about schipperkes is, they are a bit quirky -- but worth the effort that it takes to get to know them. This book is an excellent way to begin that learning process. It's chock full of great advice on the practicalities of owning a schipperke, plus lots of interesting side info too.Finally, it's DARN CHEAP! :) Can't beat the price.
