Are Schipperkes good with kids?

Yes, Schipperkes are known to be incredibly gentle, affectionate, and kind with kids, and they have the boisterous energy to match those of active older kids. As with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your Schipperke to keep both the child and dog safe. It’s important for pet parents to teach their dogs how to gently interact with children and for parents to teach kids how to gently interact with all dog breeds and recognize when they need space.
