Still barkless

[MissyGallant]

That's kind of one of the roots to my confusion with Sparta - Junior is a DSG/DSF

What is a DSF?

What is a DSF?

A Danish-Swedish Farmdog! Fairly small breed, and only a few of them in the US as far as I know. They're often mistaken for (and share a common ancestor with) Jack Russel Terriers, but are considered to be pinschers by type. Like Shelties, they tend to have plenty guard/watch instinct, and are very alert with a tendency to bark. They can easily be compared to shelties by size, temperament and activity, except they hunt rather than herd. Picture reference, if you're interested.
In other words, great company for a tiny sheltie with no breedmates to play with.
