I smile every time I see your posts, Schipperke, because my BFF used to have a dog with a Schipperke father and and Pomeranian mother (not planned, but woohoo happens). She was about seven pounds, with a curled tail that wasn't as fluffy as most Poms, but with a very Schip look to her otherwise, ears, muzzle, coat, body shape. She was so small that sometimes from a distance people would think my friend was walking a cat 
A Pom and Schip cross? I bet that little dog was a real go-getter! There's a black Pom living down the street from me. He's a big boy, bigger than most Poms, and with his black coat he looks quite Schip-like. Of course, in my very biased opinion, Schips are best! Which is why my boy James is my avatar. By the way, the picture is too small to see it clearly, but the book on the ground beside James is called "How to Teach your Dog to Read."
And just so this post isn't totally off-topic, I wanted to say that on the subject of reading the bait books, those will be unlocked for your Sim at different levels of fishing skill. But it's a long time since I spent the money and time on the books. The
Guide's Fishing Page lists the bait for the different species of fish, and it's easy to look it up and just have your Sim use the appropriate bait for the fish you want them to catch. Once the Sim has caught a fish using the appropriate bait, their skill journal will show that they know the bait for that fish, even though they've never read the book. I'm not sure if that page of the guide has the fish from all the most recent expansions on that page, but you could probably find them in the pages for whatever EP's you're using.
