Is it a Vallhund?

What IS an SV? The best way to identify the SV is by reading the standard. In general, this is a medium sized dog, from 25 -35 lbs. The head is a wedge-shape. The expression is alert, friendly and fox-like. The proportion of height to length of body, as measured from sternum to the end of the buttocks, should be 2:3. |
 |
---The Coat is close fitting and course and is of
medium length. ---The Tail may be natural (long, stub, bob) or docked. ---The Color is Sable (black at the tip of the hairs).........wolf's colors in all shades of gray and red and some yellow/cream. ---Some SV's are very dark (both gray's and reds) all over their bodies. There may be a white blaze on the head or neck or chest and their may be lighter colors on the feet and underside of the dog. ---The SV has harness markings on the neck and shoulders and has a facial mask. The mask may be hard to see if the dog is very dark or light colored. ---There are occasional cream or white SV's and also fluffies (very loose, open coat). ---The ears are pricked and very alert and mobile ---The muzzle is square and slightly shorter than the skull. |

The SV is an alert, energetic dog with a sweet temperament. The SV loves to be with children as well as adults. Usually they get along well with other animals. |
 |
What the SV is NOT........ ---The SV is NOT a miniature Shepherd or an Elkhound....no matter that the ears or face may look similar. Also, Shepherd's muzzles are longer. ---The SV is NOT a 40lb and up dog (unless overweight) ...no matter the resemblance. ---The SV does NOT have Corgi ears (not as wide set on the side or as wide as a corgi's) ---The SV is NOT as low to the ground or as wide or long as a Corgi. |
