I"The Little Skipper" By Isabel Ormiston Quote { The Dutch have at
times attempted to claim the Schipperke as a native of their country, but in the two summers (1924-1925) I spent abroad looking
for good Schipperkes, and looking up their history, I was fully convinced that the dog is Belgian and that Holland has no
claim to originating any but the brown Schipperkes}

Mrs. Crosfield
All of my readers who take an interest in the quaint little Schipperkes will know the subject of this sketch as a successful breeder and exhibitor of the variety.
This kennel, in which so many distinguished specimens have their home, commenced some
three years since with Cautsfield Nipper, a little brown bitch, which has since bred a great number of winners at the leading
shows all over the kingdom. Some of the best-known inmates of the kennel have been Cautsfield Playmate, Cautsfield Coon, Cautsfield
Woof, El Capitan, and Champion Prestwich Joe, and I am pleased to hear there are youngsters coming forward likely to uphold
the reputation of the strain.
Mrs. Crosfield has not entirely confined her attention to one variety, having kept Newfoundlands
and some sporting breeds, with which she has taken honours at some of the shows, amongst those exhibited being Champion Boodles,
Esq., Cautsfield Velvet, and others; but I think her warmest affection is for Schipperkes, of whom the prime favourite is
Champion Prestwich Joe, whose portrait appears in company with his mistress. I need nardly tell my readers that he is very
typical, and has the excellent record of sixteen championships and many other prizes at shows all over the country. Read

Quote from book :
In Holland there is a dark fawn-coloured variety of the breed, but here nothing but black is acknowledged,
though I consider those fawn in hue are by no means displeasing to the eye, and possess quite as much character as the blacks.
The latter breed true to colour, and it is very unusual for one of any other hue to be produced from black parents, still
this does occur at times, Another referance I found refering to schipperkes of fawn color is out of and old
book
published in 1903 This section is from the book " British Dogs, Their Points, Selection, And Show Preparation", by W. D. Drury.
Black is the only colour that is allowed in a Schipperke, and now and then one finds
a queer-coloured puppy in a litter - a throwback to an ancestor in a country where other colours are common- or less often a pure white, or
a black heavily marked with white. Puppies with a few white hairs are often met with, and though it handicaps, does not disqualify
a dog. In puppies such white hairs are sometimes shed at the first moult and not again renewed.
