Basic Description: The Swedish Vallhund (SV) is a very old Spitz-type breed known since the time of the Vikings. For centuries the SV has
been kept as a farm dog and used for herding cattle. The SV is a small, powerful, fearless, sturdily built Spitz herding dog. The correct
relationship of height to length of body is 2:3. The SV has a wedge-shaped head, prick ears, and a close-fitting hard coat of medium length
and sable coloring. The double coat and the characteristic "harness markings" are essential features of this breed. Tail may be natural
(long, stub, or bob) or docked. The appearance of the Swedish Vallhund conveys intelligence, alertness and energy. Balance, outline,
temperament and movement are of overriding importance. The SV is a thoroughly sound animal, versatile in its desire to do traditional
herding or with proper training compete in companion events such as obedience, tracking and agility, and/or serve as a family companion.
