author’s note: give me this wet dog of a man and give him to me NOWWWWWWWW

masterlist | buy me coffee☕ | read on ao3 . next >

important! some of the dialogue scenes are written as a script & dialogues that overlap are marked in [] <3

there’s a lot of things wrong with this situation, but carmen does not have it in him to care. maybe he never will, and that’s okay, because it’s his fucking restaurant and he knows he could be kinder, could be gentler, could, maybe, keep all of those splinters in his gut from hurting too bad if he took a few deep breaths just how they say in therapy. deep breaths, slow breaths, and then they look at you like you’re a toddler having a meltdown in the middle of the street and suddenly, suddenly, it’s all go fuck yourself and the door slamming shut.

carmen’s an abandoned puppy – disheveled hair and round eyes that have been unloved (by him, most of all), with his head bent and shoulders tense, not sure whether to flee or attack, but offense is the best defense and just like a bad dog he bites when frightened. it’s all teeth and anger and desperation; jaws lock and teeth sink and he doesn’t let go because he’s starving, even if what he’s fighting for is nothing but a cadaver of a place, space, body – brother? no, don’t think of mikey. he’s starving, has been for ages – approval? don’t say that – and that hunger bubbles to the surface when confronted by a minuscule imperfection, like sauce on the stove left to simmer for too long.

it’s a bad first impression, second impression, third, what the fuck, he’s good at food and not very good at math, unless math comes to food and then, maybe, he can sort it out. still bad, still fucking terrible, to be honest, and somewhere in the frying tangles of his mind he knows that yelling doesn’t help, and that yelling in front of the new hire doesn’t bode well for retention. the last enzymes of his sanity warn him – calm down, just, just calm down, carmen, you’re making it worse, you’re making it fucking worse – but the to-go machine keeps beeping, and the kitchen is too hot, and his staff is too anxious, and everything is amplified tenfold by his brother’s looming shadow that exists to him only. don’t think of mikey.

“can someone please turn that fucking thing off?” it’s his voice, laced by such scorn and a barely contained anger that makes him tremble by the pans. he’s losing his mind. sweat collects on his temple and his eyes sting from the fumes billowing onto his face, “sydney!”

“yes, chef.”

sydney’s a trooper, doesn’t bend under pressure like steel, and he sees her maneuvering in his peripherals, quick and agile to not get into anyone’s way, least of all his. briefly, he thinks about burning this place down. he blinks. the beeping stops – she ripped the cord out of the socked, dropped it onto the floor that sent an echo.

the new hire watches this shitshow unfold by her station, eyes wide and weary, ears perked for orders. her hands move – strong hands, swift hands, long fingers and rough palms that cradle a knife the way a mother would cradle a child. she doesn’t look at what she cuts, but she chops and slices and it’s all automatic – trained response? – and if carmen were to take a ruler and inspect the pieces, he’d be impressed to find that most are even and none are crooked. he’d hum, then, skim through the folders of his mind to re-check her experience, re-check the college she went to. he’d say something like, “good work, chef,” and maybe she’d smile at the bare bones of the compliment he’d given her, and when he’d be alone in his dingy office he’d pull out her resume and examine it with more interest because he’d be too embarrassed to ask.

he’ll grow familiar with those hands, with the dips and curves of knuckles and the tiger stripes of scars running down their expanse; he’ll grow familiar with the touch, too, soft despite the callouses, but only to him. not yet, though, not for another few months till a completely expected storm will halt the trains and he’ll have to drive her home. it’ll be weeks after that awkward silence in the car and stolen glances at soaked t-shirt-clad skin.

her form is unfamiliar to him – he hadn’t any interest to look, nor would he find anything curious when all is covered in oversized fabric and a blue apron. at present, she’s his colleague, nothing more, and a young one at that, too young and too talented to be stuck in such a place and with him running it.

but he will look. sooner than expected, and not for any devout reason, unless loneliness can be considered holy.

he’ll feel bad about it, too, and he’ll feel worse when everything escalates, because it always does.

for now, he cooks by the open flame, letting hot oil sizzle on his hands and the fire lick his fingers, and maybe, just maybe, he likes the pain because he knows nothing else. it’s become empirical to him. an indication that he’s still alive. that he’s still in control of something, even if he isn’t.

richie, richie, good fucking god, richie always picks the worst moments to bitch about.

“are you fucking with me?” carmen’s voice, again, a bit higher this time and just a gruff. doe eyes narrow at the bell-tower named richard jerimovich that has the audacity to look clueless, “do not fucking fuck with me right now.”

richie: shove that stick outta [fuck you] your ass, cousin carmen: are you deaf? richie: boutta go deaf if you keep yapping [don’t got time for this]; listen, i just [you just?] came to talk [talk? now? talk?] yes, to talk, look carmen: now you wanna talk? now? you wanna [jesus] fucking talk right now?

the tension in the air is sharp enough to slice through skin. everyone pointedly pretends not to hear this conversation. carmen doesn’t want to hear this conversation, either. there’s a line of people waiting. he reminds richie of that, and richie reminds that oh, he knows, and –

“richie!” it’s sydney, cheeks glowing with sweat and bandana crooked, “not now.”

richie huffs, looks at carmen with a certain exasperation, a wordless question of ‘really? really? you’re letting her run the show, now?’, and carmen needn’t be a genius to know that richie’s gonna bring this up later. he’ll never hear the end of it, he scarcely does now. it’s a headache in the making. his heart skips, or maybe stops, and for a moment he feels white-hot panic shoot through his veins. it passes with a shiver he doesn’t show. he breathes just a tad quicker – not enough air, not enough fucking air, jesus.

richie retreats with his arms raised in surrender, amused and annoyed simultaneously. a quiet follows his departure, and carmen looks at the staff, gaze jumping from one to the other before settling on her. she’s unperturbed by the chaos, working, watching, assessing, and later he’ll learn she wears that face the same way he wears his anger – as armor.

eyes meet and there’s a certain understanding that glimmers in the depths of her iris. but what could she understand? three weeks from now, he’ll come to learn that she’s used to rough edges and loud voices: he’ll learn that she’s the daughter of the chef that made his life hell back in new york, he’ll learn that she took up cooking because she wanted to appease her father, he’ll learn that her parents have split and her mother is sick and that she’s not calm but disconnected and that she tends to live in her head just like him.

but he doesn’t know that now, so he blames the shitty lighting that blinks and buzzes and, “fak, for the love of fucking god, please fix it.”

he said please this time, and it means he’s cooling off. he thankfully misses the quick look the staff shares – a mixture of relief and pity. either would have been devastating to recognize.

the only upside is that the day goes by fast. too much to do, too much to stress about, and carmen’s used to running on nothing but nicotine and adrenaline and an odd spout of desolation, and he manages everything, keeps the pieces glued together until eventually everything becomes too much and then he crumbles. still picks them up gently, like handling broken glass. he visits the storage often. closes the door for a moment and just lets himself breathe, reminds himself how to. doesn’t calm, only collects, reigns in the anger that coats loneliness. don’t think about mikey.

the staff cleans in a similar silence that douses after a storm.

the night's clear, crisp air compounded with cigarette smoke. he leans on the wall of the restaurant, staring into space, listening to the white noise of a restless city. by now, sydney has flipped the CLOSED sign; by now, his new hire is probably thinking about quitting, elbows deep in cleaning detergent as she scrubs the floor. he’ll have to go over her work and double-check. just in case there’s something more to do for hands that are always restless.

he tries to think but his head is scrambled. too many thoughts rushing in and out, loud, obnoxious, too quick to leave a lasting impact. he’s tired. he’s always tired. he wants lay on his bed and let sleep swallow him whole, but he knows that won’t happen. if he sleeps, he dreams of new york, he dreams of fire, he dreams of voices coming from the other room. one, in particular, holds a familiar rasp and drawl, punctuated by laugher, weaving a tale and stop it, don’t think about it anymore, just stop it, don’t think about –

he tosses the cigarette, watching the embers burn.

don’t think about mikey.

he enters through the back exit, stalks through the restaurant like he's haunting the place. briefly stops to stare at the mirror behind the bar. doesn't really recognize the man staring back.

the clock reads 00:30 am.

marcus was the last to leave, or so carmen assumed by the silence that shrouds the place, but as he makes his way to his office, he hears a locker shutting, and the sound rattles him so much his heart beats in his throat. all of that previous exhaustion ignites into anxiety that makes his limbs lock up.

she halts by the mouth of the kitchen, hair matted from sweat and lower lip marked where her teeth sunk, drooped eyes widening a fraction as she regards him. he can only stare at her in return, at her messy hair and pinched eyebrows and the slight downward curl of her lips.

“you could use a coffee,” she utters, and her voice is jarring – not for any unpleasant reason, but for the fact that he didn’t expect to hear it. he’ll grow to like it, crave it, even, because it’s a lovely cadence and it’ll sound even lovelier when she says his name.

he’s frightened by it now, if one can be scared of such a thing. so he bites.

“it’s almost 1 am.”

“right,” she mutters dryly.

“why are you still here?” he questions, and it almost sounds like an accusation, because he thought he was alone, only to suddenly be proved wrong. feels like an invasion of privacy, to be fucking honest, “your shift ended like an hour ago.”

“oh, I, uh, had some things to finish, so…” she trails off, but she still looks at him, and it’s unnerving, really, how she doesn’t budge under the weight of his stare. he bends under hers, though; the floor is spotless, he has nothing left to do. he misses the visible tension in her face, misses the quick swipe of her tongue on her lower lip as she opens and closes her mouth. it’ll take two whole weeks to grow entranced by the sight. misses the polite smile, too, but hears it in her voice anyway, “night.”

her sneakers squeak and echo and the door shuts. silence settles heavy on his shoulders. he’s not sure if he’s more distraught by her sudden appearance or abrupt departure. both somehow feel bad. in less than half a year, he’ll come to realize that the latter is worse.

ch.2: thank you, love you

The Silky Terrier: A Small Dog with a Big Personality

The Silky Terrier, also known as the Australian Silky Terrier, is a small but mighty breed that has captured the hearts of dog lovers around the world. With its elegant, flowing coat and lively personality, the Silky Terrier is a delightful companion for those looking for a dog that combines the charm of a toy breed with the spunk of a terrier. This breed may be small in size, but it has a big personality that makes it stand out in any crowd.

History and Origin

The Silky Terrier originated in Australia in the late 19th century, a product of crossbreeding between the Australian Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier. The goal was to create a dog with the beautiful, silky coat of the Yorkshire Terrier but with the more robust and spirited temperament of the Australian Terrier. The result was a breed that retained the elegant appearance of a toy dog while embodying the tenacity and boldness typical of terriers.

Initially, the Silky Terrier was known by different names depending on the region, including the Sydney silky terrier dog breed and the Victorian Silky Terrier in Victoria. However, in 1955, the breed was officially recognized as the Silky Terrier, and it has since gained popularity both in Australia and internationally.

Physical Characteristics

The Silky Terrier is a small, compact dog, typically weighing between 8 to 10 pounds and standing about 9 to 10 inches tall at the shoulder. Despite its small stature, the Silky Terrier has a well-proportioned and sturdy build, reflecting its terrier heritage. This breed is often mistaken for the Yorkshire Terrier due to its similar appearance, but the Silky Terrier is slightly larger and has a distinct personality.

One of the most striking features of the Silky Terrier is its coat. As the name suggests, the coat is silky and smooth, falling straight and close to the body. The coat is usually a combination of blue and tan, with the blue varying in shade from silver to a deep steel blue. The hair on the head is typically lighter, giving the dog an elegant, almost regal appearance.

The Silky Terrier’s ears are small, V-shaped, and stand erect, giving the dog an alert and inquisitive expression. The tail is often docked in countries where this practice is permitted, but when left natural, it is carried high and slightly curved, adding to the breed’s lively and spirited demeanor.

Temperament and Personality

The Silky Terrier is known for its lively, confident, and intelligent personality. This breed may be small, but it has the heart and courage of a much larger dog. Silky Terriers are spirited and full of energy, always ready for an adventure or a game. They are also incredibly loyal and affectionate, forming strong bonds with their owners and often becoming very attached to their family.

Despite their affectionate nature, Silky Terriers retain the independent streak typical of terriers. They are curious and love to explore their surroundings, sometimes exhibiting a stubborn or headstrong attitude. This independence means that they can be quite determined when they set their minds to something, whether it’s chasing a squirrel in the yard or getting that last piece of kibble out of a puzzle toy.

Silky Terriers are also known for their alertness, making them excellent watchdogs. They are quick to sound the alarm if they sense something unusual, and their sharp bark can be surprisingly loud for such a small dog. However, this trait means that early training and socialization are essential to prevent excessive barking.

Exercise and Activity Needs

The Silky Terrier is an active breed that requires regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Despite their small size, they have plenty of energy and love to play. Daily walks, playtime in the yard, or interactive games like fetch or hide-and-seek can help keep a Silky Terrier physically and mentally stimulated.

These dogs also excel in activities that challenge their intelligence and agility. They enjoy learning new tricks, and many Silky Terriers do well in dog sports such as agility, obedience, and even rally. Regular exercise not only helps to burn off excess energy but also keeps them mentally engaged, reducing the likelihood of boredom and the potential for destructive behavior.

Grooming and Maintenance

One of the most significant aspects of caring for a Silky Terrier is grooming. Their long, silky coat requires regular maintenance to keep it looking its best. Daily brushing is recommended to prevent tangles and mats from forming, especially around the ears, legs, and underbelly, where the hair is prone to knotting. Regular brushing also helps to distribute the natural oils in the coat, keeping it shiny and healthy.

In addition to brushing, Silky Terriers should be bathed every few weeks to keep their coat clean and free of dirt and debris. Because their hair grows continuously, regular trimming is necessary, particularly around the face, paws, and ears, to maintain a neat appearance. Some owners choose to keep their Silky Terrier’s coat trimmed short for easier maintenance, but even with a shorter coat, regular grooming is still important.

Dental care is another crucial aspect of grooming for this breed. Like many small dogs, Silky Terriers are prone to dental issues, so regular tooth brushing and dental check-ups are essential to prevent problems such as tartar build-up and gum disease.

Health and Lifespan

The Silky Terrier is generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, but like all breeds, they can be prone to certain health conditions. Some of the common health issues seen in Silky Terriers include:

Patellar Luxation: A condition where the kneecap dislocates, causing lameness or an abnormal gait.

Tracheal Collapse: A respiratory issue where the trachea partially collapses, leading to coughing and breathing difficulties.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: A hip joint disorder that can cause pain and lameness, particularly in young dogs.

Dental Problems: Small breeds like the Silky Terrier are prone to dental issues, making regular dental care crucial.

Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper exercise are essential for maintaining the health and well-being of a Silky Terrier. With good care, these dogs can live long, healthy lives.

Training and Socialization

Training a Silky Terrier can be both fun and challenging. These dogs are intelligent and eager to learn, but their independent nature means they can sometimes be stubborn. Consistent, positive reinforcement methods work best with this breed, as they respond well to praise, treats, and play.

Socialization is equally important for Silky Terriers. Early exposure to different people, animals, and environments helps ensure they grow up to be well-rounded and confident adults. Without proper socialization, they can become shy or overly protective, particularly around strangers.

Conclusion

The Silky Terrier is a delightful breed that combines the best qualities of a toy dog and a terrier. With their elegant appearance, lively personality, and loyal nature, they make wonderful companions for those looking for a small dog with a big heart. However, potential owners should be prepared for the grooming and exercise needs that come with this breed, as well as the training required to manage their terrier instincts.

Whether you live in a city apartment or a suburban home, the Silky Terrier can adapt well to various living situations, provided they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. With the right environment and care, a Silky Terrier will be a loving, loyal companion for many years to come.

Flower Delivery in Manly Sydney

Flower delivery in Manly Sydney is easy and convenient. All you need to do is swipe your Opal card on trains, buses and public ferries.

Catching the ferry over to Manly is an adventure in itself, it feels like you’re visiting a little island away from Sydney. The walk to the main beach is stunning and the Corso overflows with boutiques and restaurants.

Manly to Spit Bridge Walk

The Manly to Spit Bridge Walk is a popular coastal hike that offers stunning harbour views and secluded beaches. It's best done in the cooler months and requires a good level of fitness. The hike is around 10km long and can be completed in about three hours, depending on the pace and number of breaks. You should bring a water bottle and comfortable trail shoes for the hike. You'll find a snack and drinks kiosk at Clontarf Reserve, about an hour into the hike from Spit Bridge.

Several swimming beaches are located along the walk, including Clontarf Beach, Forty Baskets Beach and Castle Rock. If you're feeling refreshed, you can take a dip at these beaches or swim at the lifeguard patrolled Manly Beach. During the hike, you'll also pass beautiful rocky headlands and walk through rainforest areas. Make sure to wear long loose layers and factor 30 sunscreen. The hike will also involve many stairs and steep hills.

Q Station

Q Station (formerly North Head Quarantine Station) is an extraordinary site of heritage and environmental significance, set within the stunning hectares of Sydney Harbour National Park. It offers stylish accommodation, unique group activities, restaurants and conference venues.

Spacious deluxe accommodation rooms look out over the Australian native bushland or spectacular Sydney Harbour. A heritage wharf, picturesque picnic areas and a private beach are all part of the experience. Its wild tranquil beauty has attracted a wide variety of wildlife, including endangered eastern long-nosed bandicoots and the native sunshine wattle.

It’s a perfect spot for nature lovers and explorers, with walking trails to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. You can also learn about Australia’s quarantine history through a series of interactive tours and activities.

The Corso

The Corso links Manly Cove to the beach. The short pedestrian walkway is lined with Victorian facades housing restaurants, bars, cafes, surf stores and three shopping arcades. It was designed by Henry Gilbert Smith, the earliest developer of Manly, to resemble Via del Corso in Rome.

A Cane Corso needs serious exercise and a confident, authoritative owner who serves as the alpha dog in their home. This intelligent working breed thrives when given a job to do and needs mental as well as physical stimulation or undesirable behavior can occur. Many compete in agility, obedience, dock diving and protection sport events.

From high end couture to funky boutique and market 'originals', find fashion, food and homewares along The Corso or discover hidden laneways during weekend outdoor markets. There's also a selection of pubs and cafes serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Children can splash in a series of water fountains set into the footpath that rise up a half metre and then die down at regular intervals.

Manly Beach

Fringed by Norfolk Island pine trees and a stunning harbour beach, Manly is a famous destination along Sydney’s Northern Beaches. It has a lazy, relaxed vibe and is home to some of Australia’s best surfers including Layne Beachley and Barton Lynch.

Enjoy a stroll down the lively Manly Corso and watch street performers. It’s lined with boutiques, cafes, ice creameries and restaurants. If you’re there on a weekend, be sure to check out the Manly Fresh Produce Markets.

The ocean beach at Manly is beautiful and calm, with a great rock pool for the kids. You can also walk to Shelly and North Steyne beaches from there or go up to the lookout at Queenscliff. It’s also worth checking out the secluded harbour beaches around the cliffs at North Head. They’re not as popular, but just as pretty! Located just 17 kilometres from the CBD, Manly is a popular tourist and surf beach destination. It was named after Governor Phillip’s encounter with the local'manly' aboriginal tribe in 1788.

A Day in the Life of a Dog at a Sydney Daycare

In the bustling city of Sydney, where life moves at a fast pace, even our four-legged companions need their share of social interaction, exercise, and fun. Enter the world of dog daycares, where tails wag and paws prance as canine companions enjoy a day filled with activities, socializing, and personalized care. This article provides a glimpse into a typical day in the life of a dog at a Sydney daycare, highlighting the enriching experiences that contribute to their happiness and well-being.

Morning Arrival and Greetings

The day begins as the sun rises over the Sydney skyline, and dog parents drop off their furry friends at the daycare. Excitement fills the air as each dog enters the facility, greeted with enthusiastic hellos from both the dedicated staff and their fellow companions. Tails wag furiously as old friendships are rekindled and new bonds are formed. The daycare environment is designed to be safe and welcoming, ensuring that every dog feels at ease and ready for a day of adventure.

Interactive Playtime

Once all the pups have settled in, the morning kicks off with interactive playtime. The spacious play area is equipped with a variety of toys, obstacle courses, and climbing structures, creating a canine wonderland that stimulates both physical and mental engagement. Dogs chase balls, tug on ropes, and engage in spirited games of tag, all under the watchful eyes of experienced caregivers. This playtime not only allows dogs to burn off energy but also encourages socialization, helping them build important social skills and develop positive behaviors.

Group Activities

As the morning progresses, the daycare   schedule include structured group activities to keep the dogs entertained and engaged. One popular activity is "doggie art," where dogs are given pet-safe, non-toxic paints to create unique masterpieces on large canvases. This creative outlet not only provides mental stimulation but also results in delightful and personalized keepsakes for their owners. Another favorite is "musical sit," a canine-friendly version of the classic musical chairs game, which tests their obedience and focus.

Rest and Relaxation

Just like humans, dogs need their rest. Mid-morning brings a period of relaxation, with soft bedding and calming music playing in the background. This downtime allows dogs to recharge their energy levels, and those who prefer solitude can retreat to cozy nooks for some quiet time. The daycare staff pays close attention to each dog's needs, ensuring that their nap preferences and comfort are respected.

Outdoor Adventures

Sydney's beautiful weather beckons the dogs outdoors in the afternoon for some fresh air and sunshine. The daycare boasts a secure outdoor area where dogs can frolic, explore, and bask in the sun's warmth. Staff members engage in interactive play, engaging dogs in games of fetch, bubble chasing, and agility training. The outdoor adventures not only provide physical exercise but also expose the dogs to new scents, sights, and sounds, enhancing their sensory experiences.

Snack and Hydration Breaks

A balanced diet is vital, even during a day of play. Nutritious snacks and fresh water are provided throughout the day, ensuring that each dog remains hydrated and energized. Special dietary needs and preferences are accommodated, and staff members monitor portion sizes to maintain optimal health.

Individualized Attention

One of the unique aspects of a Sydney daycare is the focus on individualized attention. Each dog is recognized for their distinct personality and preferences, and the staff takes time to engage in one-on-one interactions. Whether it's a belly rub, a game of catch, or a leisurely walk, these personalized moments foster a strong bond between the dogs and their caregivers.

Homeward Bound

As the sun begins to set, dog parents arrive to collect their tired but contented companions. Happy barks and wagging tails greet the familiar faces, and as each dog departs, they carry with them the memories of a day filled with laughter, play, and companionship.

Conclusion

A day in the life of a dog at a Sydney daycare is a symphony of joy, companionship, and enrichment. From the moment they enter the facility to the time they return to their homes, these four-legged friends experience a world tailored to their needs, brimming with activities that promote physical well-being, mental stimulation, and socialization. As dog parents go about their busy lives, they can rest assured that their beloved pets are living their best lives, surrounded by care, love, and a vibrant community of fellow canines.

where: town square when: early morning who: @sydney-grayson​

she’d heard there’s a dog in town. she’d heard that everyone who’d met it so far, loved it. well trained, perfectly good, not a big deal. cute, even. 

but max? didn’t have the best track record with dogs. and it isn’t because she doesn’t like them; she does, truly. she’d grown up with two sweet, old ladies as a child who followed her everywhere until the day they passed. it’s just, dogs didn’t love her. and perhaps it’s her choice of career that made them so... suspicious. which, is a fair feeling really. or it would be, if she were up to no good.

and the thief wouldn’t consider her morning jog around the park as such. but the dog? had other ideas.

being chased by a four legged friend isn’t anything new. but it’s one hell of a surprise this early in the morning, to have it emerge from seemingly no where, hot on her heels. she thanks the lord once again for blessing her with speed and being faster than most on her feet, and for being far more agile than most, too.

she’s soon at the gazebo, skillfully climbing her way onto the roof of it out of the pupper’s reach. she’s laughing, even as she looks over the edge, watching it in pure amusement.

“oi now, where’s the fire, hm?” she calls out. “i ain’ done nothin’ yet!”

What’s living with Luca like? I’m helping my grandma to find a small companion dog and whilst she was looking at toy poodles I also thought Schipperkes looked like a good fit cause of their size and overall shape. She has a sizeable yard (mostly garden) and lives next to the golf course so going for walks isn’t a problem. If you have any other suggestions for small (under 10kg) dogs that aren’t flat faced or chihuahuas I’m definitely open to suggestions!

I have answered this question extensively before here. I will summarise and update that post again though, as it was over two years ago.

My disclaimer for this post is that I have only owned one schipperke and I have only met one other. But I am in a lot of schipperke groups on Facebook and have read a lot of schipperke books, so I think that Luca is a pretty average example of the breed. He fits all breed descriptions I’ve ever read to a T.

Historically, schipperkes were primarily watchdogs, but used as all-rounders. They are said to be proficient ratters. They are supposed to be aloof with strangers, known to get into trouble with other dogs, and are said to have the activity requirements of a large dog. They are said to be endlessly curious, a barky breed, and often choose one specific person as “their” person.

My experience with Luca is a little bit of all of these things.

He is polite but disinterested in humans. It takes quite a few meetings with someone for him to start to be interested in them. He has definitely chosen me as his primary person, but he has a very close relationship with my partner and also to a lesser extent with my mum.

He is a barker. He takes the watchdog role very seriously. But he doesn’t bark endlessly for no reason. He barks to alert to things (whether I know what it is or not) and then usually settles down.

He does not have boundless energy and does not require the exercise needs of a large dog. He definitely needs to get out of the house regularly, but if I miss a day or I’m away or sick, he does not lose his mind. He does however have that schipperke curiosity and requires mental stimulation. If I am up and about the house doing things, he will follow me around and supervise. (On the Facebook groups I am in, the joke is that these dogs “schippervise” whatever is going on in the house.) Luca has never been destructive around the house, but if I fail to provide him with some kind of mental stimulation (e.g. puzzle toys) he will resort to his watchdog role and be extra active and loud in the yard.

He is reactive with other dogs when confined (e.g. on leash) and toward strange dogs in or near his home. I had to work extremely hard for a long time (and still do, to a lesser extent) to curb reactivity in everyday life. Most of it is management and/or lifestyle changes. There was a period of time where he could not walk on leash on a busy public path, but these days he is perfectly fine with it. This is apparently something that can be common in the breed, as lots of other people on Facebook report similar issues.

Training Luca is not difficult. He is food motivated and interested in doing activities with me. The main training issues I face are around my own inexperience, not his biddability or intelligence. He does have his own personal limits though. While he has learned the basics of agility and obstacle performance, his level of engagement is not high enough to be an agility star. I am at the point where I am getting pretty close to calling it a wash. I am not very interested in forcing him to do a sport that he’s not very interested in doing. This may be a case-by-case basis as I do know of a lady in Sydney with two schipperkes that she competes with in agility and rally and scores well. From my reading, however, in this regard schipperkes are like other spitzes – more independent and more difficult to engage in training of this kind. I would not describe Luca as “high drive” or similar.

He is good off leash. He maintains a radius around me and has a pretty good recall. According to the Facebook groups I am in, this is unusual for a schipperke and most owners do not seem to trust their dogs off leash.

Grooming is extremely easy. Schipperke coats are hardy and weather resistant. They shed seasonally, but they do not require any clipping or regular washing. They need a brush every week or two, but otherwise no further grooming is needed. I have never taken Luca to a groomer. His coat does not change. He also doesn’t smell and he doesn’t tend to get things caught in his coat other than grass seeds.

He has a high prey drive and if given the opportunity will chase and hunt birds, vermin, lizards, etc.

My experience of owning a schipperke has been extremely positive overall. Luca has presented me with challenges, but his optimistic outlook and cheerful nature make working and living with him a pleasure. His aloofness with most people makes me feel special that we have such a strong relationship. I would not describe rearing and training Luca as an easy process, but it has been rewarding for me.

From owning this single schipperke and reading extensively about others, I wouldn’t describe them as a “first time breed”, but I don’t really believe in that idea anyway. People that are considering schipperkes just need to be aware of and accept the following:

They will probably bark a lot

They will probably have a high prey drive

They will probably not require much grooming

They will probably require moderate exercise

They will probably require moderate mental stimulation

They will probably be aloof with strangers

They may be difficult with other dogs

They may be difficult to motivate for advanced training

They may take time to build a strong relationship with

I hope this helps to give an overall view of owning a schipperke. I would recommend them in a heartbeat, as long as the above is accepted.
