Description

Swedish Vallhund

The Swedish Vallhund is an original Swedish breed as well as a very old Spitz breed.  Sweden states that the Swedish Vallhund goes back over 1000 years to the time of the Vikings when it may have been known as the ‘Vikingarnas Dog.’  During the eighth or ninth century, historians state that either the SV was brought to Wales or the Corgi was taken to Sweden, hence the similarities between the two breeds.

The breed is most common in Sweden, Britain, Finland, Norway and Australia and is becoming better known in the USA.
