  The owners of this cute little dog did a great job! You can tell she is happy and secure around strangers. Respect for raising such a lovely creature!

  As this little girl's breeder, I'm ridiculously proud of her and her owners. Such great representation for both the breed and proper dog ownership. ❤

  I was totally expecting this to be a breed of dog bred for cuteness like pugs, so I was totally shocked to learn this is not only not true but this is a ancient breed. Why breed irresponsibly when this breed already exists? so adorable.

  There are some incorrect assumptions in these comments.<br><br>First off, this is my dog. Uma is a wonderful dog and loves all the attention she is getting! <br><br>Secondly, she is not a mutt or a “miniature” German Shepherd. The title of the video was meant to be a joke. I’ve read so many comments from people who obviously didn’t watch the video. They just saw the title and decided to post comments.<br><br>Thirdly, Swedish Vallhunds are a very ancient breed. They are what is known as a “primitive” dog breed. They often traveled with Vikings. This breed came before German Shepherds. <br><br>Uma is well bred and her father was even at Westminster competing for Best of Breed this year. Please, before any of you comment something, please actually watch and listen to Vanessa’s accurate description of the breed.

  I have a Swedish vallhund too! Or Västgötaspets, as we call them here in Sweden. His name is Ziggy and he&apos;ll be 12 years old in October this year. He loves his stuffed animal, which is a dolphin that&apos;s more than two thirds his size, and he carries it around all over the house. He&apos;ll even go and get it when we&apos;re about go down to the basement, and then he&apos;ll throw it down the stairs before he starts walking down himself. It&apos;s honestly the absolute gosh darn cutest thing I think I&apos;ve ever seen. ❤

  It’s so refreshing to see a smaller breed of dog so incredibly well trained. It upsets me that so many owners often skip basic training with smaller dogs and let them get away with poor behavior because they’re “cute and harmless.” Uma is great representation of how well mannered and polite little dogs can be with proper training 🙌🏻

  This is the first breed you&apos;ve introduced to the public I&apos;ve never heard of. She is beautiful and well behaved. Thank you for featuring her. Uma, you are precious.

  It&apos;s extremely funny how very much she looks like a corgie-shepherd despite being a totally separate breed that predates both! Uma looks like a darling. 💗

  I live in Sweden and this is an ancient breed of its&apos; own. It is not a cross of anything, it is a stand alone breed going back to the time of the Vikings. It&apos;s a herding breed and a good one at that. Very happy to see this represented on this wonderful channel. 😊

  As someone from Sweden, I appreciate you for spotlighting this breed of dog as it sadly has been overlooked by most people, even in my home country thanks to the popularity of the Corgi.<br><br>That being said, most people I have seen with this dog, have it as a working dog first and family dog second so as someone who never had this dog myself, anyone who’s interested in this breed might have to keep in mind for their high exercise demand compared to other breeds of similar size.<br><br>But then again, I have never encountered one who has not been an angel so take all of my opinion with a grain of salt.

  Oh my gosh. I don&apos;t know how you were able to refrain from picking her up and giving her all the cuddles and kisses. Such a cute little nugget!
