Danish-Swedish Farmdog

Dansk/svensk gårdshund (Danish–Swedish Farmdog) is a breed of dog that has its origin in Denmark and southern Sweden, but now has become popular all over Scandinavia. 

Source: Wikipedia

The Danish-Swedish farm dog originally served to keep the farm free of rats and mice, for which it is equally suitable to today. The dogs are very teachable; and since the breed is small and light, with a lot of speed and intelligence, today they participate in various dog sports like agility, rally obedience, tracking training and obedience.

The basis of breed/conformation shows is the judging of pedigree dogs against the 'Breed Standard', which is a picture in words that describes the range of features that are deemed appropriate for the breed.

The major international standard is:

FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale)

AKC Breed Standard

1. Swedish Insurance Data

• • Breed-specific information on rates of disease and death from Agria Pet Insurance (Agria Djurförsäkring) is available for many breeds. This breed has information on Veterinary Care and Life Insurance.

Genetic Panel Screening of Nearly 100 Mutations Reveals New Insights into the Breed Distribution of Risk Variants for Canine Hereditary Disorders

excerpt...

" The Danish-Swedish Farmdog also provides an extreme example of a breed entering the study with no known relevant DNA tests, and leaving it with four potential new conditions to consider in veterinary care and breeding."

Characterization of the genetic profile of five Danish dog breeds

DEFF Research Database (Denmark)

This investigation presents results from a genetic characterization of 5 Danish dog breeds genotyped on the CanineHD BeadChip microarray with 170,000 SNP. The breeds investigated included the Danish-Swedish Farm Dog.
