A BRIEF HISTORY The Swedish Vallhund is known in its native land as ‘Vastgotaspets’, which means ‘Spitz of the Wezt Goths’, and has existed in the middle and southern parts of Sweden for over 1000 years, although by the 1950s, due to dramatic circumstances, the breed was nearing extinction. The breed was saved due to the energetic efforts of one or two dedicated people. The origins of the Vallhund are still shrouded in a great deal of mystery. Undoubtedly there is a connection between Corgis and Vallhunds, but whether Corgis were taken by the Vikings to Sweden and developed into the Vallhund or Swedish dogs brought to Britain and developed into the Corgi is not known. Being a working dog and a member of the Spitz family of dogs, the Vallhund bears a marked resemblance to the Pembroke type Corgi. On closer examination there are obvious differences, both typed of Corgi are built very much closer to the ground and much heavier bodied than the Vallhund. The ear set, size and shape are completely different as well. Having much longer legs, the Vallhund is a far more active breed than the present day Corgi. The Vallhund is very much a working breed and still works a great deal in Sweden itself. Being an active breed, they do well at obedience, love agility and are able to track. The breed was established in Australia in 1981. Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 2 ! GENERAL APPEARANCE Small, powerful, sturdily built working dog, with fairly long body. (Ratio of height at withers to length of body 2:3.) The Swedish Vallhund is a small, powerful, strongly built working dog with a low maintenance coat that may vary from bright red to wolf sable, with the majority being various shades of grey. Compared to the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Vallhund appears slightly higher on the leg and shorter in the back, with a free and active gait. The height from the top of the withers to the ground and the length from the breastbone to rear thigh of the Swedish Vallhund should be in the ratio of 2:3. The length of the chest cage compared to the overall length of the body is also in the 2:3 ratio. He is sturdily built with moderate bone, which in the males, reflects masculinity without coarseness and bitches appear feminine without being slight of bone. Fig. 1 ! CHARACTERISTICS Appearance and expression denote a watchful, alert, energetic dog. He is a very intelligent, chirpy little working dog in which the herding instinct is very evident. He is attentive with a watchful expression. ! TEMPERAMENT Friendly, active, eager to please. Although he may be somewhat reserved in initial meetings, he is friendly, active, agile and a very inquisitive little dog who responds well to training, is quick to learn, very trustworthy with children and other animals, with an eager to please personality. He is a dog who generally feels so secure in himself, he considers the world to be his oyster. Any display of shyness, fear or aggression should be severely penalised. Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 3 ! HEAD AND SKULL Rather long and a clean cut, blunt wedge with almost flat skull and well defined stop. Viewed from above, shows an even wedge shape from skull to tip of nose. Muzzle, viewed from side, looks rather square, slightly shorter than skull. Lower jaw strong. Although a dark mask is acceptable, a well defined mask is highly desirable with lighter hair around eyes, on muzzle and under the throat, giving a distinct contrast to the upper mask. Tightly closed lips. Nose black. A head that is lacking in some facial markings, at least around the eyes, seems to lose that spitz look. Expression should be watchful, alert and eager. His gaze should be keen but friendly. ! EYES Medium size, oval, very dark brown. The eyes should not protrude nor be sunken. The rims should be tight fitting to protect the eye from debris, and pigmentation should be black. Fig. 2 ! EARS Medium size, pointed, pricked, leather hard from base to tip, but fine smooth haired and mobile. The eyes and ears work together as a sensory team. The ears are very mobile and the dog should make good use of them. Fig. 3 ! MOUTH Scissor bite. Jaws strong with a perfect, regular and complete scissor bite, i.e. upper teeth closely overlapping lower teeth and set square to the jaws. A full complement of strong white teeth is desired and they should meet in a scissor bite. The scissor bite is indicative of a correct jaw assembly. Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 4 An undershot or overshot bite is a disqualification in the country of origin. Loss of contact caused by short centre incisors in an otherwise correct bite should not be judged as undershot. Broken teeth or missing teeth through accident should not be penalised. Fig. 4 Scissor Undershot Level Overshot ! NECK Long, strongly muscled with good reach. The neck should be slightly arched at the crest, fitting well into the shoulder. Fig. 5 ! FOREQUARTERS Shoulder blades long and well laid. Upper arm slightly shorter than shoulder blade and set at a distinct angle. Upper arm lies close to ribs, but is still very mobile. Forearm, when viewed from front, slightly bent, just enough to give free action to chest’s lower part; straight when viewed from side. Legs well boned. Front legs are very slightly bent in the forearm to allow for the drop of the chest, but the lower part and the feet point straight ahead. Bone is strong and oval rather than round. A certain amount of flexibility or ‘give’ in the pasterns is desirable. They should be of medium length and very slightly sloped because the lower leg then acts as a more efficient shock absorber. Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 5 Shoulder angulation: Ideal Fig. 6 Oblique shoulders Most commonly seen shoulder angulation Pastern angulation: Ideal Steep front Upright: Perpendicular or steep pasterns Overangulated, weak or let down pasterns APPARENT ANGLE ACTUAL ANGLE EFFECTIVE ANGLE ! BODY Back level, well muscled, with short, strong loin. Chest long with good depth. Well sprung ribs. Viewed from front, chest oval, from side elliptical, reaching two-fifths of length of forearm. When viewed from side the lowest point of chest is immediately behind back part of foreleg. Sternum visible but not excessively pointed. Croup broad and slightly sloping. Belly slightly tucked up. Harness markings should be clearly defined. Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 6 A firm muscular body is important for athletes as well as dogs and is reflected in their conditioning, which contributes to overall fitness and agility; it is a prerequisite for a working dog. Where a dog’s agility is important to him, he will have a slightly sloping croup with a correspondingly low set tail. This will enable him to turn more easily by bringing his legs underneath himself more quickly. As the depth of chest reaches down to 2/5th of the length of forearm, it results in a depth of chest, measured from the withers to the lower edge of the chest, and the distance from the lower edge of the chest to the ground, being in the proportions os 2:1. That is, the depth of chest is approximately twice as great as the length of leg below the chest (not from the elbows to the ground). Fig. 7 ! HINDQUARTERS Well angulated, well bent stifles and low hocks, thighs strongly muscled. Legs well boned. The rear assembly is quite normal. Stifles are clearly defined, the anatomical ideal being 110 degrees. Good rear pasterns are dependant upon good stifles; they should be short, perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other when viewed from behind. Fig. 8 Shows correct front and rear of Swedish Vallhund Extended Breed Standard of the Swedish Vallhund - Page 7 ! FEET Medium, short, oval, pointing straight forward with strong pads. Well knuckled up. Oval, spoon- Round, cat, Well-knit foot (left) Flat foot, down Hare foot shaped foot circular or compared to splay foot in pasterns compact foot (right). Front view Fig. 9 ! TAIL If present, length not exceeding 4ins (10cms) when adult. Carried horizontally or slightly downwards, may be raised at attention but never higher than the level of back. Puppies born with tails may be docked. The Vallhund has a natural or docked bobtail, therefore puppies born with tails may be docked. ! GAIT/MOVEMENT Free and active, elbows fitting closely to sides, forelegs moving well forward without too much lift, in unison with powerful thrusting hind action. To be aesthetically pleasing to the eye and to move correctly a dog must be balanced; that is, its angulation must be compatible at both ends.

Assessment of Canine BEST1 Variations Identifies New Mutations and Establishes an Independent Bestrophinopathy Model (cmr3) Abstract Purpose: Mutations in bestrophin 1 (BEST1) are associated with a group of retinal disorders known as bestrophinopathies in man and canine multifocal retinopathies (cmr) in the dog. To date, the dog is the only large animal model suitable for the complex characterization and in-depth studies of Best-related disorders. In the first eporr t of cmr, the disease was described in a group of mastiff-related breeds (cmr1) and the Coton de Tulear (cmr2). Additional breeds, e.g., the Lapponian herder (LH) and others, subsequently were recognized with similar phenotypes, but linked loci are unknown.

    FEDERATION CYNOLOGIQUE INTERNATIONALE (AISBL) SECRETARIAT GENERAL: 13, Place Albert 1er B – 6530 Thuin (Belgique) ______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ 27.05.2014 / EN _______________________________________________________________ FCI-Standard N° 14 VÄSTGÖTASPETS (Swedish Vallhund, Vizigothic Spitz) Illustration by M. Davidson, NKU Picture Library 2 TRANSLATION : Renée Sporre-Willes. Official language (EN). ORIGIN: Sweden. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 29.10.2013 UTILIZATION: Herding Heeler. F.C.I.-CLASSIFICATION: Group 5 Spitz and primitive types. Section 3 Nordic Watchdogs and Herders. Without working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The Swedish Vallhund is considered to be an authentic Swedish breed although uncertainty still exists as to the relationship with the type like the Welsh Corgi. Whether or not the Vikings brought Corgi-type dogs back from the British Isles to Sweden or Västgötaspets-like dogs from Sweden to Britain will never be solved. But modern research believes that the Västgötaspets is of Swedish origin. Regardless of the breed’s origin, credit for its recognition goes to Count Björn von Rosen and headmaster Zetterstén. In the early 1940’s von Rosen was told that this old type of herding dog still existed and an investigation took place in the County of West Gotha. Particularly in the planes of Vara specimens of homogeneous type where found; few in numbers but enough for Zetterstén to start the breeding. Breed type was well established without loosing the working ability. GENERAL APPEARANCE: Small, low on legs and sturdy. Appearance and expression denote a watchful, alert and energetic dog. IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS: Ratio of height at withers to length of body 2:3.
