About Danish Swedish Farmdog Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Danish Swedish Farmdog, originating in Denmark and southern Sweden, is a small, versatile farm breed in the AKC Foundation Stock Service historically prized as a ratter, watchdog, herder, and affectionate family companion. Typically 12.5-14.5 inches tall and 15-25 pounds, they are compact and athletic with a short, smooth, dense coat in white with black, brown, or tan patches; grooming is easy, requiring only weekly brushing, routine nail trims, ear checks, and dental care. Lively, friendly, attentive, and adaptable, they thrive with active families, enjoying 45-60 minutes of daily exercise, play, and training, and get along well with children and other pets.
