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.

Social canines are very welcome to join their owners for a bite to eat at many of West Virginia’s outdoor dining establishments, and don’t forget to take in some local culture at the Mothman Museum!
