Frequently Asked Questions

Are Schipperke dogs react better to specific types of names?

Like most dogs, Schipperke dogs pay most attention to punchy names with strong opening sounds. Avoid names that could be confused with everyday commands like sit, stay, or no.

What qualities should I consider when naming my Schipperke?

Each Schipperke has a unique character, but the breed is generally associated with specific characteristics. Watch your dog for a bit before committing — the ideal name frequently reveals itself organically.

Should the tone of voice a dog's name affect their response?

Yes! Dogs respond best to a happy voice. Don't saying their name in an negative tone, as they may begin to link it with negative experiences and stop responding.

What if I adopt two dogs together?

Aim for names that match one another but are phonetically different. Try to stay away from rhyming pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Luna', as this will likely muddle the animals during call-backs.
