Breed Standards
The Swedish Kennel Club recognized the Svensk vit älghund in 1993.
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 breed standard is available from the Nordic Kennel Union and SKK. It has not yet been translated into English.
