Doing some reading on the American Revolution and found this picture of Major General Charles Lee and his beloved "Pomeranian", Spado
Lee himself ends up being a pretty unsavory/controversial figure, but his taste in dogs was apparently excellent.
Note that it probably was actually a Pomeranian, they historically were much more spitz-like in appearance. Schipperkes and Pomeranians share quite a bit of ancestry so I'm sure Spado was a close schipperke cousin and quite similar in appearance.
