Sylvie, mom
Swedish Vallhund
About Sylvie
Sylvie is an amazing Vallhund. She’s intuitive, smart, problem solving and empathetic. She works daily on our farm, herding sheep, goats and geese. She’s also my medical alert dog for migraines, and she’s a working therapy dog. She’s working towards more Rally/Obedience titles, Herding, and FastCat titles. She placed 5 most versatile Vallhund at the 2024 National Specialty. Most importantly she’s a total sweetheart and my best friend. This will likely be her only litter as she’s too important to me as a working dog to take off time for maternity. OFA Excellent CAER eye exam normal AKC major pointed
