The Schipperke is practically a Belgian Shepherd in miniature, but without tail. The general appearance is that of a small elegant dog, but well structured and muscular. The head resembles that of a fox, with a rather broad forehead which narrows towards the eyes. The muzzle is pointed and the stop slightly accentuated. The ears are erect, triangular and facing forward. The eyes are brown, full, more oval than round.
