During the 14th century the French made a law that said that aristocrats could not own a large breed dog. This posed a problem for the aristocrats, as they still needed dogs to protect them and their livestock. This led to the development of the Schipperke. So, it was this dog breed that took over the big job of protector for the aristocrats.
After the French were displaced the Schipperke became recognized as more of a mouser dog that could be found in most small businesses where the shop owners used them as a protector as well as a mouser used to chase away the rodents from the shop. This interesting History is only one part of what is so interesting about this great breed of dog.
