SCSC was established in 1973 as a non-profit organization to encourage and promote quality in purebred, black Schipperkes and to do everything possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection.  We urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which the Schipperke shall be judged.  SCSC will do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows and obedience trials and to conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows and obedience trials under the Rules and Regulations of the American Kennel Club.
