intro
A Markiesje ( .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%} Dutch pronunciation: [ mɑrˈkiɕə ] ), also known as Dutch Tulip Dog , [ 1 ] is believed to be an old dog breed. On several paintings dating from the 17th and 18th century a small, black dog resembling a Markiesje can be seen. However, the Markiesje – as currently known – has only been bred actively since the mid 1970s. [ citation needed ] The Markiesje was accepted by the Dutch Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland as an official breed [ 2 ] but it is not yet accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale .
Character
The Dutch Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland categorized Markiesje as a companion dog , [ 2 ] not to be confused with a lap dog . The dog likes long walks and runs. Markiesjes are rather alert and will act as watchdog. [ 3 ] The dog can be kept with other pets, such as cats and rodents, provided they are introduced properly and trained to accept each other.
