Markiesje
A Markiesje, also known as Dutch Tulip Hound, 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. The "Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland" can be translated as "Board of Directors on cynological matters in the Netherlands". This organization acts as the official Dutch Kennel Club.
