Dog breed

Dutch Tulip Dog

Origin: Netherlands

Also known as: Markiesje

A Markiesje, also known as Dutch Tulip Dog, 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.
