Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This cute dog came to us from Kings County Animal Shelter SO WE HAVE NO BACK HISTORY ON THIS DOG. WHAT IS LISTED HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW AT THIS POINT!
This gorgeous girls photo does her now justice at all. She is so cute and sweet we are already smitten with her! We think her sister or relative is Kiki. They were both found behind an abandoned dairy! Swedish Vallhunds are not a common breed around our neck of the woods but scroll down past her info and I added details on the breed! She will be spayed Nov 19th, brought up to date on shots and micro chipped!
Adoption fee $300.00
"The FCI Standard calls the Swedish Vallhund "watchful, alert, and energetic."
Spirited and athletic, yet steady and dependable, the Swedish Vallhund is a true "big dog with short legs."
Hiking, herding, obedience, agility, or chasing balls (with surprising speed) are enjoyable outlets for the Vallhund's enthusiasm and desire to work.
Swedish Vallhunds love to be challenged with new tasks. If his days include such moderate exercise, along with the loving companionship of his family, he is adaptable and easy to live with.
Most Swedish Vallhunds are friendly (or at least polite) with everyone and make sensible watchdogs. Most are fine with other animals and especially wonderful with livestock, including horses.
This attentive breed learns quickly and responds well to obedience training, but he does combine the independent judgment of a herding breed with the persistent, sometimes manipulative nature of the spitz family. You must have the confidence to establish and consistently enforce rules, or he may make up his own.
Swedish Vallhunds prefer their flock (family members and other pets) to be gathered together and may try to accomplish this by poking or nipping. Barking needs to be controlled.
All dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on shots, micro chipped, crate trained, doggy door trained (we have no flap) socialized with other dogs large and small! All our dogs live in our home but we HAVE NO CARPET SO no matter how good a dog can do here we always suggest keep up the crate training and the dog will need guidance!
