TheSwedish Lapphund(Swedish:Svensk lapphund) is abreed of dogof theSpitztypefromSweden,one of threeLapphundbreeds developed from a type of dog used by theSami peoplefor herding and guarding their reindeer. The expression "the black beauty of Norrland" is very often attributed to the Swedish lapphund, which is most likely one of Sweden's oldest breeds.
Lineage
[edit]The breed falls under themitochondrial DNAsub-cladereferred to as d1 that is only found in northern Scandinavia. It is the result of a female wolf-male dog hybridization that occurred post-domestication.[1][2]Subclade d1 originated "at most 480–3,000 years ago" and is found in allSami-related breeds:Finnish Lapphund,Swedish Lapphund,Lapponian Herder,Jamthund,Norwegian ElkhoundandHällefors Elkhound.The maternal wolf sequence that contributed to these breeds has not been matched across Eurasia[3]and its branch on thephylogenetic treeis rooted in the same sequence as the 33,000 year-oldAltai dog(not a direct ancestor).[4]
Description
[edit]Like all spitz dogs in general, the Swedish lapphund demands a stable upbringing and both regular mental and physical stimulation to perform at its best. As a working dog they show their versatility in a number of different fields. Many compete with success in such widely different disciplines asobedience, dog agilitytrials, working contest, freestyle/heelwork to music,Rally obedience,and blood tracking. The Swedish Lapphund can also participate in herding events.Herdinginstincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Lapphunds exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete in herding trials.[5]
