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 Nederlandse and as a companion dog, but has only recently been accepted by the Dutch Kennel Club Handsome, proportionate and balanced. The coat of the Markiesje is black, sometimes with white markings, and is long and silky with feathering. 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. Height up to 16 inches (41 cm) Weight up to 13 pounds (10 kg.) 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. 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.
