The Schipperke is a wonder, from the top of his head to the place where his tail should be. These dogs don’t have a tail at all, and it’s a genetic trait – no docking required. This breed originated when canal boat captains were seeking a breed of dog that would do well aboard the boats. In fact, Schipperke means “Little Skipper.” Many families who spend time aboard boats find that these are the perfect companions. Whether it’s a day in the family pool, an afternoon at a local lake or a weekend aboard your sailing boat, show your attachment to your Little Skipper with a Schipperke TShirt or Schipperke Tank Top.
