My first Schipperke, Pawfect Answers Tiny Tim, was my first small dog. He joined the family to be a companion and obedience demonstration dog.  Timmy's antics and personality quickly stole my heart and I fell in love with the breed.

My second Schipperke, Alphie, came along 2 years later to be a companion for Timmy and me and to become part of an obedience brace. Alphie became my first conformation show dog and my first Champion.  He also became my niece's Junior Showmanship dog. 

I've had Schipperkes since 1994 and can't imagine life without them.  They have given me the opportunity to meet many new friends in the obedience, conformation, and training worlds, and among other Schipperke owners.  Mostly they've given companionship and comic relief!
