Brief Description:
Sweden has eleven national breeds and shares a twelfth with Denmark.
Eight of the Swedish breeds are fully recognised by the Fedération Cynologique Internationale (F.C.I.).
The Danish-Swedish Farm dog gained preliminary recognition in 2008 and is included in F.C.I. Group 2 (Pinscher, molossers and Mountain and Cattle Dogs). The Swedish hunting spitzes and herders in Group 5 (Spitz and primitive types) that are recognised by the F.C.I. are the: Swedish Lapphund, Norrbottenspets, Jämthund, and Swedish Vallhund. Two other hunting spitzes, the Swedish White Elkhound and Hälleforshund, and the Gotlandsstövare, a hound, are only recognised in Sweden. The Schillerstövare, Hamiltonstövare, Smålandsstövare and Drever are members of F.C.I. Group 6 (Driving dogs and search and sniffer dogs).
The SKK's Hundraser is available at http://www.skk.se/sv/hundraser/.
