Are both the Swedish Vallhund and the Šarplaninac associated with the care of livestock?
Swedish Vallhund The Swedish Vallhund, also known as the "Västgötaspets" and Swedish cow dog, is a breed of dog native to Sweden. The breed's name, "Vallhund", when translated into English, means herding dog, as the Swedish Vallhund was originally bred as a drover and herder of cows over 1,000 years ago. In 1942, the dog came close to extinction, but careful breeding and publicity by Swedish national Bjorn von Rosen and K. G. Zettersten managed to revive the breed in popularity and save it from its likely end. In 1943, the Swedish Kennel Club recognized the Swedish Vallhund as a breed, and officially categorized the Swedish Vallhund as "the Västgötaspets" for Västergötland, the province in which their revival took place. Since then, the breed has been recognized by, and bred in, over ten countries and has gained some popularity.
