Do Swedish Vallhunds 'herd' their families?

Yes, Swedish Vallhunds often 'herd' their families, a common trait for this ancient herding breed. They may nudge, circle, or even gently nip at heels, particularly with children, as an expression of their strong innate drive. With a Problem Solving score of 4/5 and Memory of 4/5, they quickly learn household routines and family members' movements, employing these instincts. While their Obedience is 2/5, consistent training can redirect these behaviors effectively.
