Swedish Vallhund

The Swedish Vallhund is a small to medium-sized herding dog known for its distinctive appearance and lively personality. Originating from Sweden, this breed combines a wolf-like appearance with a friendly and affectionate temperament. Characterized by a wedge-shaped head, prick ears, and a diverse range of tail lengths, Swedish Vallhunds boast a short, dense double coat that comes in various colors. As a versatile working dog, they were originally used to herd cattle, control vermin, and guard homes. They are highly energetic and intelligent, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation. Despite their energetic nature, Swedish Vallhunds are excellent companions, being highly trainable and deeply affectionate towards their families.
