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. |

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. |
