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.

In Virginia, doggies are welcome in hundreds of hotels, B&Bs, campgrounds, state parks and outdoor shopping centres. Virginians are dog lovers, which means they are pet-friendly business owners, too! Residents and vacationers to the Old Dominion state can bring their dogs to top tourist attractions and outdoor events throughout the year. In fact, you and your dog can visit hundreds of Virginia’s restaurant and brewery patios while out and about in the city or town. For some doggy playtime, you’re always welcome to visit the state’s many dog parks, including Bayville Farms Park at Virginia Beach.
The American Fox Hound was chosen as Virginia’s official state dog in 1966.
