New Name That Breed

[Vi Co Bi]

Nope. Sorry.

This dog is also known as The Little Viking Dog. In Sweden, it is believed that this breed is indigenous to the country and goes back more than 1000 years to the days of the Vikings. In 1964, with the Swedish standard revised, the breed became known as Vastgotaspets ("Spitz of the West Goths") after the province in Sweden, Vastergotland. From what I read, this name didn't hang around long and isn't in use much any more. An even older name is Vikingarnas Hund - or Viking Hound.
