Zgodba o izvoru

Kinologi niso prišli do enotnega mnenja: po eni različici so Vallhunde v Britanijo prinesli Vikingi iz južnih švedskih provinc Vestra Gotaland in Skåne, kjer je bila govedoreja razvita že od antičnih časov, nato pa so švedski psi ostali v njihovo izvirno obliko, Britanci pa so prinesli welsh corgi; po drugi različici pa je ravno nasprotno: Welsh Corgiji so bili pripeljani na Švedsko in Vallhundi so potomci njih.

Dejansko obstajajo podobnosti. In, mimogrede, kratkorepi in brezrepi mladički niso neobičajni v leglih walhundov. To je le barva švedskega ovčarskega psa volka, ni tako elegantna kot britanska.

Te pse so nekoč uporabljali kot pastirje, varovali so hiše in živino, veljali so za odlične lovilce podgan, napadli so v tropu in odganjali tako plenilce kot tatove. Toda z razvojem tehnološkega napredka je potreba po delovnih psih skoraj izginila in do štiridesetih let prejšnjega stoletja je bila pasma na robu izumrtja. Švedska kinološka zveza in posebej vzreditelji Bjorn von Rosen in KG IFF.

Valhundov ne moremo imenovati modna in priljubljena pasma, vendar število ljubiteljev teh psov narašča, vzrejajo jih ne le na Švedskem, temveč tudi v številnih evropskih državah, pa tudi v Kanadi in ZDA.

Opis

Dog with short legs, strong build. The length of the body is related to the height at the withers as 2:3. The neck, back, paws are muscular, the ears are erect, of medium size. The jaws are well developed. The length of the tail can be any – from a “pompom” on the croup to a full-fledged “saber”.

The coat is of medium length, dense, rather hard, with a thick and soft undercoat. On the chest and neck a little longer, behind – “panties”. The color is wolf, various shades of gray, reddishness and white marks on the chest, abdomen, paws, as well as an “asterisk” on the forehead are allowed. Despite its small size, it looks like a serious working dog.

Znaki

savvy, easily trained Walhunds are very energetic. If their energy is not directed in a peaceful direction, then the dogs themselves will find entertainment for themselves, and it is not a fact that the owners will be happy with the results. Alternatively, classes agility or other dog sports.

Despite their short legs, these dogs are great jumpers and will happily and tirelessly run alongside their owners on a bike ride. They get along well with other pets and are excellent companions. By the way, the Walhunds do not take courage: they can easily drive away an enemy much larger than themselves.

Swedish Vallhund Care

Gosta, precej trda dlaka se malo umaže in se zlahka samočisti, zato ta pes ne bo povzročal težav pri negi, česanju in kopanju po potrebi. Walchundi brez težav prenašajo mraz, v mestu pa ne bo škodil lahek nepremočljiv kombinezon, ki ščiti pred reagenti, s katerimi so posipane ceste.

Pogoji pridržanja

Dogs can live both outside the city and, thanks to their compact size, in apartments, the main thing is to give them enough physical activity. They also love company. Cheerful, cheerful animals do not tolerate loneliness and cramped enclosed space. Therefore, if the owner’s lifestyle suggests that the dog will sit alone all day, then a good solution is to get two Walhunds at once!

Cene

Valhundi v Rusiji veljajo za redko pasmo in je precej težko najti mladička domačih rejcev. Toda na Švedskem, Finskem, Danskem, v Belgiji lahko otroka vedno izberete v jaslih. Cene se gibljejo od 200 do 1000 evrov, vključno s stroški pošiljanja.
