Summary
About Västgötaspets
The Västgötaspets is a small, sturdy Swedish herding dog with a foxlike look, dense double coat and easy grooming. Energetic, vocal and intelligent, it bonds closely with active families, needs consistent positive training, daily exercise and mental stimulation, and is generally healthy.
About Borzoi
