The Markiesje Dog Profile

The Markiesje, often known as the Dutch Tulip Hound, is an ancient dog breed. A little black dog like a Markiesje can be found in various artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Markiesje, as it is now known, has only been extensively bred since the mid-1970s.

The Markiesje has been approved as an official breed by the Dutch Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland but not by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

Markiesje Highlights

Markiesje Health:

This breed is usually healthy.

Markiesje Grooming:

This breed has a single-layer coat that is easy to maintain and only requires bathing on occasion. Brushing them on a regular basis, either daily or every other day, is necessary to remove excess loose hair from the coat and to prevent tangles or mats from forming. For this dog’s sleek hair, a hard bristle brush is frequently the ideal tool. It’s also crucial to examine this dog’s ears on a regular basis to make sure they’re clean and dry, and in some cases, to remove excess hair from the inner ear; this will help avoid ear infections.

Markiesje Exercise:

In order to be emotionally and physically fit, the Markiesje requires space to run and time to play. It should be taken for an everyday walk or jog. While on a walk, the dog must be forced to heel beside or behind the person carrying the lead because a dog’s mind believes that the leader leads the way, and that leader must be the human.

Markiesje Training:

The Markiseje is a generally healthy breed that requires around an hour of vigorous activity per day to stay happy and healthy. These dogs can keep up with most walks and jogs, but they may also like or excel at a variety of other canine sports, such as swimming, agility training, or canine freestyle dance. While these dogs are small, they are typically inappropriate as pets in compact living spaces such as apartments due to their higher activities and noise levels than other dogs and are more likely to thrive in a better house with a fenced yard.

Markiesje Temperament and Personality:

These are generally very friendly little animals who love everyone, and thrive on attention but don’t tend to be particularly demanding about it. The Markiseje is gentle and playful with other dogs as well as with children of all ages, and although all interactions between small children and canines should be monitored, this breed is generally very trustworthy with the younger set.

They are not prone to separation anxiety when left home alone, and they are generally well behaved when taken out in public as well. While this dog’s smaller size and cuteness make it popular as a family pet, they are also willing to do the work of a gun dog, easily taking to retrieving small game or game birds.

These small dogs are typically too friendly to make an appropriate guard dog, but due to their alert natures, they often excel in the role of watchdog, alerting their family to any perceived threats and dangers

All About Markiesje

The Markiesje is a genuine Dutch Spaniel with origins dating back to the Middle Ages. The Markiesje is a well-made, black, sleek, and sophisticated machine. This breed is ‘under renovation’ and is cheerful and curious as long as it receives adequate care from its owner. The Dutch Kennel Club registers dogs in a temporary registration.

Markiesje History:

The history of the Markisesje, also known as the Dutch Tulip Hound or the Hollandse Tulphond, a small black companion animal from the Netherlands, is somewhat contested. There are those fanciers that maintain that this is a very old breed, as evidenced by images that look very much like this little black dog that can be found in paintings that were created in the 1600s, although some people contest this idea, stating that this dog has a very similar appearance to many different kinds of spaniel, many of whom may have shared a common ancestor.

There are several fanciers of the breed who believe that this breed was a likely contributor to several other Dutch breeds, such as the Wetterhoun, the Stabyhoun, and the Kooikerhondje, a claim made by the official breed club as well. There were very few records kept in regards to the breeding of these companionable little dogs, so an accurate record of their ancestry became difficult to trace.
