A Schipperke (/ˈskɪpərkiː/; Dutch: ) is a small Belgian breed of dog that originated in the early 16th century. There has been a long informal debate over whether this type of dog is a spitz or miniature sheepdog. In their home country of Belgium they are considered a small shepherd. In countries that have bans on docking, Schipperkes display their natural tails, which vary in type. A Schipperke is intermittently featured in the tiger-centric movie Two Brothers (2004) and also appears in Daphne Du Maurier's short story 'A Borderline Case.'
