That's not a puppy, it's a teddy bear! How gorgeous, what breed is he? What will he look like grown up?

He's a Swedish Vallhund, I've stolen this photo from Google but his dad is very similar, mum is a slighter grey girl but he has his dads chunkier stamp and the natural bob tail.1692652551684.png

He is indeed, I've been waiting for this particular breeding for 6 years and he's got his dad's stamp which is just what I wanted 😍

As born in Göteborg, formerly Västergötland county, these days Västra Götaland county, with parents, and several generations back also coming from this or nearby counties, I feel oddly proud about that Fenrir's heritage as a Västgötaspets ( = Västgöta Spitz) is literally from my county.

And he's so cute! 😍

They're very similar to Corgis in size/build but they have more of the herding instincts and drive which were bred out of Corgis on the whole.

They're typical herders, energetic and alert and eager to please. Mum and dad both do/have done agility, flyball, hoopers and scent work on top of their showing careers.

I'm hoping he will enjoy a few different sports with us as well as possibly taking over from Fizz in Therapy Dog work.

Super bright, super sociable, know their own mind - and preserved by breeders who seem to prioritise function. The breeder of our pems, Liz Cartledge, brought some of the first/the first into the uk from her native Sweden. They are a cracking breed (one I think we may too end up with!) and for the life of me, I don’t understand why not more popular.
