A group of Brussels shoemakers organized regular Schipperke competitions, taking special pride in adorning their companions with ornate brass collars. In fact, a breed of dog intermediate in size was one known in the region.Īlthough small black tailless dogs are mentioned in Belgian writings of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, definite evidence of Schipperkes is not found until 1690. The breed resembles a miniature Belgian Sheepdog, and it is possible that Schipperke derives from the word for shepherd, scheper. The other plausible theory of origin is that they were a dog of tradesmen guilds and middle-class households, who wanted a small dog to protect their home from rodents. The breed was less commonly called Schipperke by Belgian townspeople, however, who more often referred to them as spitz. The Flemish word for boat is schip, and Schipperke is thus thought to mean little boatman. One plausible theory is that they originated as a dog of the boatmen who traveled between Brussels and Antwerp. The origin of the Schipperke is controversial.

However, he appears to resemble a EMD G12 with a shortened nose, evident by the cab design and the inclusion of buffers. Despite this though, he's still a good leader to the Harbour Crew, and isn't afraid to pull his weight around the Docks. Unfortunately, this can make him lose his cool during particularity stressful situations. Though he's kind hearted and fatherly to his Docker Crew (consisting of Haulers Hamish, Harry and reach stacker Russ) and the other Crotoonians, he does come off as a bit of a windbag, wanting to keep things in perfect detail and ensure things are done pinpoint and on time (to the point where he says he's "never missed a deadline ever"). Skipper Stu, a US Navy veteran (who worked the Brooklyn Army Terminal), is the kindhearted leader of Grofflen Harbour, located at the midpoint of the Northern Crotoonian Coast (thus placing it between Celgreb Bay Harbour and Gridinia Bay Docks).
