Description |
Handsome, proportionate and balanced. The
coat of the Markiesje is black, sometimes with white
markings, and is long and silky with feathering. |
|
Temperament |
The Markiesje loves
to be a retriever and gundog, but his size, intelligence and cute good looks
earmark him as an ideal family pet. Happy and playful. This spaniel-type dog is
active, elegant and friendly. Make sure you are this dog's firm, confident, consistent pack leader to avoid Small Dog Syndrome, human induced behavior problems. Always remember, dogs are canines, not humans. Be sure to meet their natural instincts as animals. |

Living Conditions |
This is an indoor dog. Their small paws and medium length hair do not afford much protection from the cold. However, an adult Markiesje should do fine with a brisk walk in -20 Celsius and colder. |
|
Exercise |
The Markiesje needs room to run and time to
play in order to be mentally and physically fit. They need to be taken on a
daily walk or jog. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. |

Grooming |
Comb and brush regularly with a firm,
bristle brush. As with all dogs, teeth, nails, ears, attended to and
check for growths or dental problems. This breed sheds little hair. The hair is thin and easy to clean when bathing the dog. Markiesjes can develop dandruff. A quick bath with moisturizing shampoo using natural ingredients should clear that up quickly. |
| Origin |
The Markiesje is a Dutch native breed who's
also a new creation. It has a spaniel-poodle heritage. It has long been found on
farms in The Netherlands and as a companion dog, but has only recently been
accepted by the Dutch Kennel Club. |
