Swedish Vallhund

I dont understand why this breed hasn’t become more popular. It was good the see that the relatively low numbers where shared amongst quite a few exhibitors, and a very sporting crowd you all are. I thought there was a variety in proportions, and some did not have chests much below the elbow. Generally this is a sound and well made breed/
