Hi, I have been on this list for a while now. Mostly just ready and doing research. I am looking for a show quality schipperke puppy. I would prefer a male,...
Hello - am new to this group. We have a 9 yr old Schip, Hannah, along with and Italian greyhound and a retired racing greyhound. Am looking forward to...
Hi Laura, Welcome to the list. I love Italian greyhounds and greyhounds in general. I feel so bad for the racing greyhounds. I have 4 cats and 3 dogs. One...
Loved your website - especially Pebbles - have never seen a schip w/ an intact tail before - very cool. Retired racing greys are the best dogs - completely...
Laura, When we called the breeder to find Pennysue a sister, we asked her not to dock Maggie's tail when she was born. I think their tails are soo cute curled...
I'd be interested to hear how your dogs "do" when visiting the vet. Hannah is rather "uncooperative" to put it mildly. We go thru this every year (today was...
Bailey, our two year old starts shaking when he sees the building. One thing I do is all year long take him often to the office when he doesn't have an...
Laura, Actually mine do very well at the vet. The car ride over is a different story. And Maggie hates to have her nails trimmed. She really puts up a...
Laura: Cujo or excuse me I mean Emmitt hates our vet. All he has to do is hear Dave's voice and I swear his jaw turns inside out. Our other 3 dogs love ...

My Schipps just hate going into the clinic. They tremble whilst waiting but calm down as soon as they go into the surgery. All of them like the vet - it's...

My guys are a bit nervous when they go to the vet, but pretty much let the vet do whatever they need to do at the time. They are always looking at me for...

Thanks to all who gave input. I really don't know what else to do with Hannah - we've tried it all - visiting just for a treat/desensitization, crating,...
Laura, My experience with Valium and Schipperkes is that, in some cases, the Valium actually perks them up. My old dog "Jackson" has become quite agitated on ...

I've heard that Valium can remove inhibitions (e.g. against biting!). How about the good old herbal Skullcap and Valerian? ... From: Carole Doherty To:...

Joan: What can you tell me about skullcap? We use valerian super calm (herbs for kids) for our geriatric JRTX It has been of some help in keeping Rebel from...

I can only tell you that we can obtain tablets of Skullcap and Valerian from herbalists in UK in combination. It seems to have a calming effect without too...

Potassium bromide is used as a medication for many epileptic dogs so could be helpful in trying to control Hannah's behavior when going to the vet. Her...
Thanks again for all the excellent input. Hannah is on pheobarb for epilepsy so that potassium bromide suggestion may work. We got her years ago from a pet...
Laura, Be sure to check with your veterinarian before giving Hannah potassium bromide as she is already on phenobarbital. Another thought is have you had her...
Hello- We are new to the group and I'm really looking forward to exchanging stories, but mostly getting advice from long time Schip owners. Our black beauty...
Welcome to the list. You neglected to tell us your name. As long as you do not plan to show Midnight it doesn't matter if she has a stub of a tail. Watch the...
Hi Kathleen, Thanks for your response. I agree with you 100% about being a good doggy neighbor. We have LOTS of dogs in the neighborhood so sometimes it can...
Gina, Sounds like you are doing a lot of the right things. Schips are wonderfully "quirky" little dogs. I am in my 28th year of being owned by Schipperkes....
Hi there, what's your name and your dogs name??
