Meet the breeder
I'm Dorothy C., the breeder behind Doreve Schipperkes located in Plainfield, IN. When I plan a litter, I study pedigrees and photos of the dogs behind the parents to produce healthy purpose-bred puppies. I show my dogs in conformation. Therefore, I’m looking for my next show puppy when I breed a litter. I cannot afford to show all my puppies, so some lucky people get show quality pets! I look forward to connecting you with yours!
