About Safari Schipperkes

Safari Schipperkes is a preservation-focused breeding program dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the Schipperke as it was intended — sound in body, stable in temperament, and true to type. Our breeding decisions are guided by knowledge, experience, and a deep respect for the breed’s history and purpose.

We do not breed for trends, volume, or convenience. Each litter is planned thoughtfully, with long-term breed health and structure as the priority.

Safari Schipperkes is a small, preservation-focused program built on decades of hands-on experience with the Schipperke breed. Our approach is rooted in careful evaluation, long-term planning, and an unwavering commitment to breed integrity.

Breeding decisions are made with an emphasis on health, structure, temperament, and adherence to the breed standard. We prioritize soundness, confidence, and functional movement — traits essential to producing dogs that thrive as companions, competitors, and representatives of the breed.

Our dogs are raised in a home environment, thoughtfully socialized, and observed closely as they develop. Each litter is planned with purpose, and we take responsibility not only for the puppies we produce, but for the future of the breed as a whole.

All breeding dogs are health tested, with results publicly available through OFA when applicable. We believe transparency is a baseline responsibility of ethical breeding, not a marketing claim. Health testing, honest disclosure, and informed decision-making guide every breeding we undertake.
