Swedish Vallhund

The dog is originally from Sweden. It originated in the 6th century and was originally bred to herd cattle. Its appearance is very similar to that of the Welsh Corgi (details) except for the color of its hair.

In 1942 the breed was on the verge of extinction and numbers were very low. In 1948, the Swedish Kennel Club recognized the breed, and in 1964, the Swedes changed its name to "Vasgotaspets", and it is now widely distributed in Sweden. The Swedes believe it is the ancestor of the Corgi in all European countries, but this claim is widely disputed and it is still uncertain whether it is the ancestor or descendant of the Corgi. The head is simple and neat, with a broad, flat skull. The muzzle is straight, the jaws are slightly short, the bite is tight, and the lips have no overhang. The nose is black. Eyes medium-sized, dark brown, oval, with black margins. The ears are medium sized, erect, covered with short smooth hairs, sensitive to sound and turn when heard. The neck is moderately long and well muscled. The chest is moderately broad. The forelimbs are short and straight. The hind limbs are muscular, strong and powerful. The feet are medium sized and oval in shape. Traditionally, the tail is usually broken, but it is forbidden in the UK and some other European countries. The outer layer of fur is coarse, medium-length, and lies flat against the skin. The undercoat is thick, soft and dense. The hair on the front side of the forelimbs is short and the hair on the back side of the neck, chest and hind legs is slightly longer. The coat color varies in shades of gray, red, or fawn, sable, and a mixture of these colors. The lighter colors are usually found on the muzzle, throat, chest, belly, rump, and feet. The Swedish Corgi (details) is a dog that was born to be a companion to children, with a gentle personality and a love of exercise, but a dislike of barking that requires training from an early age. His body shape is very similar to that of a Dachshund, with short legs and a long body. Walks wobbly.

The Swedish Corgi is intelligent, energetic and easy to feed, giving the impression of being alert, energetic and fearless at all times, making him a suitable house pet. Because it is small, sturdy, healthy and easy to care for, it is patient when playing with children and can be played with at any time.
