Featured Farmdogs

One of the best things about having a Danish/Swedish Farmdog is the people you get to know as a result. We like to feature a diferent farmdog or special person each month.  Please check the members only site to learn more about our special Farmdogs.

Anna

Flora's Lady Eva Annelise

Anna is the 10th Danish/Swedish Farmdog to be born in the United States. Her father, Flora’s Han Solo, is the first Danish/Swedish Farmdog born in United States and her grandmother Flora is the first breeding female to come to this country. Anna’s litter was the first to be conceived on US soil. Words cannot express how blessed I feel to share my life with this wonderful companion and to have been able to be a part of such a small and select group of people that live with Danish/Swedish Farmdogs.

Life is good, and even better living with a Farmdog!

Famous Words: “No More Dogs”

I know lots of folks utter that statement; my husband, Ray, and I thought we meant it back in 2001. We had an aging Sheltie, Dulcinea, and figured when she died and we finally retired we could travel without the worry of doggie care. You know – option 1) traveling with your pet and the limitations --no cars in hot sun, “dining” in car parked hopefully under shade tree, no fancy hotels … or option 2) hiring expensive and trustworthy pet sitters only to suffer anxiety and loneliness when you leave part of the family behind.

Little Denmark's Delightful Daphne

Hi, I’m a Jera and I have a Danish Swedish Farmdog named Daphne. Well I might as well get to the point and tell my story. One day I woke up and my mom told me she had a dream, a dream about a dog. She said she might want to get a dog and I was up for the idea. It sounded like so much fun and so perfect. But could my mom really be serious about getting a dog? So my Mom searched on the internet for a few months looking for the prefect breed. I helped her look, I guess she was serious which was good because now I would have someone to play with and listen to my feelings since I’m an only child.

Frisco

Annika's Joaquin, TDI

Danish-Swedish Farmdogs can do many things. One of the most rewarding things Frisco and I have had the pleasure of getting involved with is Therapy dog work. We are sponsored by Therapy Dogs International. (TDI)

Farmdogs are natural for this because of the great temperament they have, and their great desire to please. Only dogs that can pass a 10 part test on obedience and temperament can become certified as therapy dogs.

Hobbes

Little Denmark's Delux Dudley Do-Right

It was 9:00 PM, the night after Halloween. Almost all the kids in the neighborhood stood there in the dark, gasping with anticipation every time a car turned the corner onto our street. I couldn’t wait until one of those cars was my mom’s, bringing home our adorable little puppy, named Hobbes.

Lexi

Pacific Rim's Bolinas Cloud

I love to play, like all my Farmdogs friends since the moment I came to live in the Hunt family home.  When I was a young pup, we used to play hide and seek games. My mom thinks that she was training me to achieve a good recall.  Now, I play a lot of tug and chase.  One of my funniest moves is what the family calls the “Seal”. You can see it here with a balloon.  Mom has been teaching me to do it on command.  When I was a little pup we did many rounds of obedience training, then moved on to agility.

Polly

We no longer have our own identities. We are now knows as Polly's family.

Polly graced our family in October, 2007. After a year of considering if a dog would fit into our life, we took the plunge. We have been a dual Maine Coon Cat family for 15 years so was concerned about adding a canine to the mix. We have been pleasantly surprised by our 16 pound entertainer.

Skoen

Annika's Mateo

When I was in 2nd grade and seven years old, my sister and I finally convinced my parents to get a dog.  My Dad researched all kinds of breeds.  Finally we came upon Danish Swedish Farmdogs.  The breed sounded perfect for your family! 

Skoen (our Danish Swedish Farmdog) has been a perfect fit for our athletic, busy life.  Skoen loves to ride in the car, which makes our lives easier.  Skoen is very energetic but he calms down and loves to take naps too.  He adores sleeping under the covers in winter to keep warm.  Skoen enjoys going on walks, but won’t budge in severe heat. Skoen is a lovable, adorable and easy dog to have in the family.  We love him!

Tilly

Flora's Matilde

From the moment she was born I knew she was special.  So tiny yet so mighty from the very beginning, I knew she could have no other name but Matilde, meaning mighty in battle.  Matilde was one of the last of Flora’s second litter to leave home because I was saving her for a family that would put her to work.  If ever there was a puppy that needed work, it was Matilde.  Not just any family would be able to provide this puppy what she needed, what she craved, but Phil and Sue were up for the challenge.
