I got pursued across Hyde Park once by a nice and vair posh lady with two schips who wanted to come and say hello. I also chased down two myself at KCI last year, only to find that they were German visitors and initially understood maybe half of what I’d blurted at them in my excitement 
With people who don’t know what they are the conversation usually goes:
“What is he?”
“A schipperke.”
“Oh, what is that crossed with?”
“…another schipperke…”

if i could i would have 10 of him, he’s the easiest boy ever and was the easiest puppy, such a clever clogs and bags of personality in the cutest fluffy package!
I wanted a dog, thinking terrier type, little dogs appeal to me! Mr P went all out with how labs are the best ever family dogs and terriers would be awful with children so persuaded me that one would be best. Just so happened a friend of his had a last of the litter and so guess what.... In all fairness he was the most amazing dog and grew up with our daughter from babies. So i guess it was him that made me like them. I still very much only like some labs though, definitely not a blanket fan!!
The oodles are much easier to teach recall to and much lower prey drive. They bark a lot less then the lappies. The lappies have a lot more sass but are so much fun to deal with and enjoyable to train (apart from recall) Similar energy levels.
