🛡️ Welcome to the Pack!


At Skyfyre Swedish Vallhunds, our dogs aren't just pets—they are full-fledged family members. They share our couches, critique our cooking, and live right alongside us. 

 Who We Are

We are a small, dedicated kennel with a big mission: preserving this rare, ancient breed. We focus on growing future generations of healthy, happy, and delightfully quirky Vallhunds. 

We pour our hearts into careful preservation breeding to ensure every pup has the excellent health, balanced temperament, and signature "Viking Dog" charm to thrive in their forever homes. 

⚔️ The Viking Dog Experience

They may look like a cross between a wolf and a corgi, but these pups are 100% personality! When you bring a Vallhund into your life, you are getting: 

  • The Ultimate Sidekick: Fiercely loyal and always ready for an adventure.
  • Brain & Brawn: Smart, eager to please, and perfectly built to herd cattle (or manage your household).
  • History in Your Living Room: An original, ancient breed that’s been charming humans since the Viking era! 

 

📍 Meet the Family

Located in Yorktown, Virginia, our dogs are raised in a loving environment with top-notch care. Whether they are strutting in the show ring or just expertly herding the laundry basket, they bring endless joy to our lives.

Swedish Vallhund History

Swedish Vallhunds are an ancient breed from Sweden, well over 1000 years old. They are an original species, which means they did not come from another breed of dog. They are herding dogs, and their short stature helps them avoid being kicked by cattle. They are double coated to protect them from the elements.

Characteristics of Swedish Vallhunds

The Swedish Vallhund has a "can do" attitude. They are intelligent and do best if they have a job to keep them busy. They need regular exercise and are happiest when with their families. They can be velcro dogs. As they are herding dogs they communicate with barks. They have an "argle bargle" noise that they make as well.

Swedish Vallhunds should be red or gray according to the breed standard. 

Tails can be natural bob (no tail) stub, sickle or spitz tailed (curled). 

Weight: 22 to 35 lbs

Height: 11.5 to 13.5 at shoulder
