About the Swedish Vallhund
The Swedish Vallhund, also known as the "Viking Dog," is an ancient Spitz-type herding breed from Sweden. Characterized by its short legs, long body, and curled tail (or natural bobtail), it was bred to herd cattle, nip at heels, and guard farms. This energetic, intelligent, and friendly dog is known for its endurance, agility, and distinctive wolf-like greyish sable coat.
