Hi Joy
I'm in New Zealand. It's amazing just how many dogs from NZ are exported every year to all corners of the world. Vallhunds are very uncommon in NZ too. I saw one at the NZ national dog conformation show recently and I often compete with my Pem against a Vallhund. This vallhund is faster than my Taylor but inclined to make more hurdling errors ( our hurdles are set a 380mm for mini dogs). But I don't recall ever seeing a really good Vallhund specimen here in NZ apart from maybe one who looked and performed acceptably. You must tell me what marked similarities you see between your Vallhunds and your Pems.
A lot of Americans seemed rapt with fluffy Corgis, so now we have Americans chasing after Pems with tails. I think soon all Pems will have tails which, to me, will be a major shame.
Have any of the puppies you have sold become conformation show dogs or competitors in agility.
