Summary
About Schipperke
Schipperkes are small, sturdy Belgian dogs with a square build and thick black double coat forming a ruff and “culottes.” Alert, intelligent, and independent, they’re loyal watchdogs, energetic companions needing daily mental and physical exercise, and generally robust with proper health care.
About Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are the smallest Poodles, square and elegant with dense, curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Lively, sensitive and highly trainable, they form close bonds, suit active indoor lifestyles, and, with good care, often live 14–16 years or more.
