At a glance
The Danish-Swedish Farmdog has been known for a long time on farms in Denmark and Sweden as a watchdog, ratter and companion, and was recognised jointly by the two countries under that name in 1987. It is a small, compact, slightly rectangular dog, known to mature late, with a short, smooth coat that is harsh on the body and predominantly white with patches of any colour; males stand 34–37 cm and females 32–35 cm, with a tolerance of ±2 cm. The FCI standard sums up its temperament in three words: alert, attentive and lively.
