Schipperke, the "Little Black Devil", is a very clean dog and usually will take care of its own cleaning. They shed heavily seasonally (sometimes as many as 3 times a year). They are good apartment dogs but are very active inside (perhaps the source of their nickname). It also likes outdoor exercise and an unleashed romp in a controlled environment. They get along well with other pets, and are a great friend of children. They can be hard to housebreak.
Carol, Elizabeth and Cookie have just welcomed Skittles, 
a new Little Devil into their home.
