Sweden

Swedish dog breeds are an interesting mix of herding, scent hounds, and spitz-type dogs. The most popular breed is the Swedish Vallhund, a herding breed with a wolf-like appearance. Other breeds include the Swedish Lapphund, a spitz dog used for herding and guarding; the Schipperke, a small spitz-type dog; and the Drever, a short-legged hunting dog. These breeds have a long and distinguished history in Sweden, and are popular for their intelligence and loyalty.
