Description: The Danish-Swedish Farm dog is a small, compact dog. Their coat is short, hard, close lying, smooth and shiny and pretty much odor-free. Their general appearance is, besides small and compact, almost square (rectangular) built. The head is of triangular shape, rather small, with a rather wide and slightly rounded scull, stop well emphasized, and muscle well filled, tapering to tip of nose, without looking pointy or snipey. Jaws powerful. Ears can be rose ears, or folding forward. The chest is deep and wide. The breed is late developed in its exterior, and usually not fully developed until 3 years of age, so Young dogs are often less compact. They are frequently mistaken as Fox-terriers or Jack Russell Terriers. One big exterior difference from a Fox-terrier, is The Farm dogs well emphasized stop, and head of triangular shape. Another BIG difference from ALL terriers, is their temperament. Their coloring is white with markings of different shape and size, and the color of the markings can vary a lot, from red to reddish-brown, chocolate brown and/or black. Both two- and tricolor occur, with tri-color being most common. Special for this breed is, that they can be born with tail, as well as natural bob-tail. Docking is illegal in Denmark and Sweden, and natural bob-tail only occurs if one of the parents is a natural bob-tail. The natural bob-tail can be of any length, from almost no tail, to a bob-tail so long, that its rather difficult to tell, if its a bob-tail or a full length tail. NORMAL SIZE:
