Few breed standards have as an encompassing acceptance of various tails as does the Swedish Vallhund. “Tail may be natural (long, stub, or bob) or docked,” all are equally acceptable.

Our photo comes from Megan Arszman-Weisbrodt who writes, “My Vallhund was born with a nub, while the rest of her litter had full, Spitz tails…yet their sire/dam were nubs.”
