All Dog Breeds >>History of Swedish Vallhund

The Swedish vallhund closely resembles the Pembroke Welsh corgi, although it is not known whether the two breeds are related. It is possible that the ancestors of the Swedish vallhund may have been transported by the Vikings, either to or from Britain. The Vallhund (meaning herding dog) is a canine of many talents, such as a cattle drover, watchdog, ratter and versatile farmhand. It is a more and more common sight at European exhibitions.
