A Markiesje, also known as Dutch Tulip Hound,[1] 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.[citation needed]
The Markiesje was accepted by the Dutch Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland as an official breed[2] but it is not yet accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.
