Dogs and All about Them

The
first
Schipperke
which
appeared
at
a
show
in
this
country
was
Mr.
Berrie's
Flo.
This
was,
however,
such
a
mediocre
specimen
that
it
did
not
appeal
to
the
taste
of
the
English
dog-loving
public.
In
1888
Dr.
Seelig
brought
over
Skip,
Drieske,
and
Mia.
The
first-named
was
purchased
by
Mr.
E.
B.
Joachim,
and
the
two
others
by
Mr.
G.
R.
Krehl.
Later
on
Mr.
Joachim
became
the
owner
of
Mr.
Green's
Shtoots,
and
bought
Fritz
of
Spa
in
Belgium,
and
these
dogs
formed
the
nucleus
of
the
two
kennels
which
laid
the
foundation
of
the
breed
in
England.
It
was
probably
the
introduction
of
the
Schipperke
to
England
that
induced
Belgian
owners
to
pay
greater
attention
to
careful
breeding,
and
a
club
was
started
in
1888
in
Brussels,
whose
members,
after
"long
and
earnest
consideration,"
settled
a
description
and
standard
of
points
for
the
breed.
Not
long
afterwards
the
Schipperke
Club
(England)
was
inaugurated,
and
drew
up
the
following
standard
of
points,
which
was
adopted
in
December,
1890,
and
differed
only
very
slightly
from
the
one
acknowledged
by
the
Belgian
society
and
later
by
the
St.
Hubert
Schipperke
Club.
