Vallarity Swedish Vallhunds
Welcome
I have been involved in the Equine industry and pedigree dogs for over 50 years. The last 20 years I have dedicated to the Swedish Vallhund. The 1st to import 2 dogs from Sweden, as well as lines from Finland, UK and Australia. I am very proud of all our dogs, their achievement in, and out, of the Show rings. I have endevoured to create a snapshot of mine, and my dogs journey on this website. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Our Place
With my 1st Swedish Import, Teddy, at 13 years old
Originally established in 1971 under the prefix Pinestaff (Staffordshire Bull Terriers), then in 1988 under prefix Midas (GSD), Vallarity Swedish Vallhunds was formed in 2004. We are situated in the rural, central North Island on a certified organic farm. The dogs have acres of land to roam, streams to swim in, orchards and woodlands to explore. We also do basic obedience, scenting and herding to keep their minds active.
Health
Our Breeding dogs are health tested and genetically diversity tested with UC Davis, USA before being bred. While the Swedish Vallhund is a robust breed, we err on the side of caution to ensure that we, and our buyers, have a healthy puppy with a generous life expectancy.
Versatility
Our Vallhunds will be found competing in dog sports, on the farm herding cattle/sheep, in family homes, in Search and Rescue and as Therapy/Support dogs. Some have saved their humans, with one recieving a National award for life saving. But most importantly, they are much loved family members.
Compatibility
This is a adaptable breed and able to meet the expectations of most people wanting a loyal and clownish companion. Once we know the requirements for our puppies, we evaluate their temperaments, during the 1st eight weeks, to suit the lifestyle they will be heading to.
