Jake; schip-a-pom

Jake, the schip-a-pom

Jake is a 2 year old schip-a-pom hybrid dog. He was adopted from a local shelter that listed him purely as pomeranian. After speaking with several vets, groomers, and schipperke breeders, his hybrid status as a schip-a-pom was established. Jake's family origins are unknown as the previous owner did not leave any information.

Jake is very active and energetic. He can be stubborn and will often try to "trick" people into giving him what he wants, be it food or attention. Jake, like most schipperke mix dogs, is very bright and easily trained as long as the training is consistent and rewarding. He loves to perform in agility trials, especially those involving jumps. Finally, Jake is similar to other dogs of his breeds in his hatred of rodents or anything rodent-like.

to the person who wrote: We have recently adopted what appears to be a schip-a-pom. Our Max looks very much like Jake. He was lost and we adopted him from the pound. They were unsure what he was. He was listed as a pom but everyone asks us if he is a Schiperkee.

He is very bright but stubborn and seems like he could get lost easily as he chases things all the time and never looks back. We keep a close eye on him in our fenced in yard and he is never off leash.

We've had him three months and he still is not completely house broken. He never barks to tell us he wants to go outside. He stands at the door and does his business because he is silent and is waiting for someone to notice him. Have any suggestions? He only barks at intruders but not to communicate with us.

We love him dearly.

I, too have obtained a dog who looks a lot like a schip-a-pom. I got her from a rescue agency who had her listed as a Pom. She a wonderful dog but does not tell us when she wants to go out either. We have to just automatically take her out every two hours and also right after she eats. She's a great dog. She loves to be touched but when she is done she's done. She sits quietly on the couch and watches tv. She quite amusing. What a personality. Good luck with your house training.

I would recommend taking Max to a basic obedience class and they can help you with the potty training stuff. Jake loved going to "school" and it is really helpful for both owner and dog! :) Good luck!
