Personality

The Swedish Vallhund, though small, is full of confidence and is a lively, adaptable, and nimble farm dog. They enjoy playtime but can also relax when necessary. While they learn quickly, they tend to think for themselves, so they may require some extra encouragement to follow commands. Their curiosity can sometimes be a bit much, and they are affectionate without being overly needy. They get along well with other pets and are generally good with kids, although they might try to herd little ones by nipping at their heels. For many years, they have served as watchdogs and will bark to let you know if something is up.
