The 10-16-pound Schipperke is a strong, loyal working dog packed into a little body. Traditionally kept aboard Belgian ships to act as ratters and watchdogs, this thickly coated black dog’s name translates to “Little Captain.” Adaptable to apartment life, the feisty Schipperke has a lot of energy and needs regular play and exercise. These dogs love to be with their families, keeping watch over the household and—true to their birthright—eliminating any rodents they find! The Schipperke shouldn’t be paired with other small non-canine pets.

Idaho is well-known as a dog-friendly place to live in—or travel to—thanks to its millions of dog lovers and plentiful dog-centric businesses. Urban Idaho is packed with beautiful dog parks where your furry family members can run and play off-leash, including the Nampa Dog Park and the Military Reserve Flood Basin Dog Park. An Idaho dog owner can also run errands, take a shopping trip or go out for dinner with their pup at their side the whole time. Looking for a way for the two of you to get exercise and fresh air together? Try the state’s Greenbelt trail, which runs for 25 miles along the Boise River.
Fifty-eight percent of Idaho households have at least one dog.
The state’s own Idaho Shag dog originated on the eastern side of the state, and is believed to be a mix of herding breeds.
Boise, capital of Idaho, is considered one of the country’s best cities for dogs.
