The Markiesje is a rare Dutch breed with origins in the Netherlands dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, where it was depicted in paintings of the Dutch Golden Age as a fashionable companion dog. It is a cheerful, intelligent, and gentle dog with an adaptable personality that makes it well-suited to both family life and various living environments. This breed was kept primarily as a companion and lapdog by Dutch nobility and upper-class families, though it also served as a small vermin catcher in the home.
