“Calm, friendly dog with a faithful and keen temperament”
Quoted from FCI standard n°129. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.
Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.
Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.
FCI standard · Smalandsstovare
As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording, tagged permissible.
Medium length, harsh, close fitting coat that is coarser on back and neck.
Undercoat short, dense and soft.
On head, ears and front of legs coat should be short and smooth.
Under the tail and back of thighs top coat may be longer than on the back.
Coat dense between toes and pads
Preferred, permissible, undesirable and disqualifying are FCI’s own words about the breed. They describe what the standard asks for — not an assessment of any individual dog, and not ours.
Base colour
Black or liver-brown with tan-markings
Shortened from FCI standard n°129 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.

What a judge marks the Smalandsstovare down for, and what puts one out of the ring, in the registry’s own words. This describes the breed standard — it is not a checklist for the animal in front of you, and a pet with a disqualifying fault is an unshowable dog rather than an unhealthy one.
Puts an animal out of the ring altogether.
Breed-level information from The Dog API. It describes the Smalandsstovare in general; any individual animal can differ.
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Smalandsstovare on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
This is where Smalandsstovare owners’ own photographs will go, from the pet profiles they keep here. Nobody has added one to a public page yet.
A photograph in a pet profile stays private to its owner. We will not put one here unless they ask us to.
No Smalandsstovare breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
