The Danish-Swedish Farmdog, or "DSF"

The AKC has recognized the Danish-Swedish Farmdog, or "DSF". Here is the brief description: “They’re interesting, fun little dogs,” said Segebart, who has owned them since 2011 and is the club's incoming president. “They’re essentially up for anything. They succeed at most everything." And: "In their original homelands, the dogs’ main job was rodent patrol, but they also would herd a bit, act as watchdogs and play with farmers’ children. Some even performed in circuses, according to the club."

They look a lot like a Jack Russell Terrier from the photos. 

I would not be first in line to get one, however. Many times a new breed is recognized, the problems show up, and the shelters fill up with them. Might be a great dog. On the other hand, might have a lot of genetic health problems, might have drive expressions that are good for farm work but not as companions in suburban or urban areas, and might have other issues we know nothing about. 

My recommendation? Wait about 5 years, then consider getting one. 

You can bet entrepreneurial breeders are going to get them right away. Don't believe the all of the utopian proclamations, however. Let's see how it goes first. Last thing we need are more abandoned shelter dogs.

Plan accordingly.
