The Swedish Vallhund, often called the Vallhund or Vall, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Swedish Vallhund (Västgötaspets) is an ancient Scandinavian herding breed from the Västergötland region of Sweden. The breed has existed for over 1,000 years—Viking-era dogs that share heritage with the Welsh Corgi (scholars debate which influenced the other). Like Corgis, Vallhunds are low-built cattle herders that nipped at cattle heels while dodging kicks. The breed nearly went extinct in the 1940s before Count Björn von Rosen and breeder Karl-Gustaf Zettersten saved it with a focused recovery program.
