My parents had a number of Schipperkes -- the last of which MissC passed away last year. The had a male and female for a long time and when they would take those two cuties for a walk -- the comments! They probably had four or so over time.

They were VERY loyal dogs but I don't remember ever any problems with them biting. In fact poor MissC was terrified of my cat Edwina. I once found the two of them...MissC in the bathroom intently ignoring the cat looking up at the ceiling anywhere but at the cat -- who was guarding the door and refused to let MissC out!

Edwina so wanted to play with MissC (the ONLY dog she has ever tolerated) and would lay on her back and reach her front paws out for MissC's snout. MissC would beg my mother to pick her up onto her lap....
