Finding Schipperkes Any breeder recommendations?

We're based in Kansas but willing to travel.

Anyone have any suggestions? Bonus points to have personal experience with them.

I met a very nice breeder in St Louis and met her dogs as well. Let me know if you’re interested in her info!

There’s also Midwest Schipperke Rescue and the Schipperke Rescue Network if you find you might be interested in adopting! They are both extremely supportive with their rescues and adoptive/foster folks.

I reached out to midwest, fortunately they didn't have any rescues. I'll check out rescue network, thanks!

Sea La Vie Schipperkes! I got my incredible girl from her, healthy and with an excellent temperament. Can’t recommend them enough

Following.

Also, appreciate any in the Southeast. I would have gone nationwide but…Iran…gas…flight tickets, etc.

My boy Pierre came from Safari Schipperke and they’re great breeders! Highly recommend them, they really care about the breed and my little guy is just wonderful. I will say sometimes they are slow to respond and I waited about a year after putting my initial deposit down for him. Also, I would go a few months without hearing from them after that initial deposit, though in their defense at the time they had some personal things going on that caused it. But otherwise I was very happy with them and intend to get any future Schipperkes from them.
