Dutch Tulip Dog

A Markiesje (Dutch pronunciation: [mɑrˈkiɕə]), 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.
The Markiesje was accepted by the Dutch Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland as an official breed but it is not yet accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.
