Larry the Schipperke, just turned 8, died today after choking to death on a piece of miscellaneous trash. my husband was walking him and im in the hospital for surgery.

Larry was such an outstanding dog. we are speechless and heartbroken. This was our second Schipperke, the first Henry living til 15.5 yrs.

I really miss him today and want to share him. He was such a good boy

Hi everyone,

I didn't realize there was a Schip community or i would have joined earlier. I grew up with 3 of them, with our oldest from the 90s and being part of the early agility stuff that just came over feom Eueope. Our other 2 Schips were first and second place winners and I did a lot of the running.

To this day, I still buy a US Schipperke calendar for my wife, who is a big fan, yet never had the chance to see one in person. We hope that at the NKC awards a Schipperke can win like one did back in... 2010? Around that time.

Here is Gem, and her proud awards from an agility competition in 2015.

Anyway, I'm starved for Schipperkes. Best breed ever. Little wonderful devils they are.

I don't have too much footage or photos, but I can post what I have. The recent stuff I hand shot in HD from over a decade ago is amazing.

Anyway (2x), amazing dogs. Hopefully when my apartment situation changes I can own one.

I recently lost my boy after 17 years together, I miss him so very dearly everyday. He really was the best dog and there will never be another one like him 😭

Missing the little man!

My best friend and traveling g companion for over 10yrs.

I'm driving (speeding) home for 5 hours so I can be there when my baby has to go. I really thought she'd be ok for a week. She was ok when I left- I went to do some family things in various cities.

My husband called this morning to tell me she couldn't get up and had stopped eating. She'll still drink a little, but lies on the floor and drags herself with her front legs if she wants to go somewhere. She hasn't moved all night.

I feel so awful I was away when she turned the corner. I can't bear to let her go without me being there to hold her. I am just sad and feeling so awful. Tell me funny stories about your schipps.

Hi I just wanted to show you all my very first best friend. I got him in Denver Colorado back in 2000 or 2001. His dad was on TV in the eukanuba dog show! I miss him so much and hope to get another schipperke one day. We had a great 14 years together ❤️

i’ve always adored schipperkes, and would love to own one someday! well, my dogs DNA got tested as a christmas gift and lo and behold i had one the whole time!! i had told people her whole life she was a terrier mix just for her to have no terrier in her! she passed at 13 on 12/27 and i will miss her forever ❤️
