Manchester Terrier versus Swedish Vallhund

Manchester Terrier versus Swedish Vallhund: Overview

A very important difference between the Manchester Terrier and the Swedish Vallhund is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Manchester Terrier is a small-sized dog while the Swedish Vallhund is a medium-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Manchester Terrier belongs to the Terrier Dogs group. Terrier Dogs were originally bred to go underground to hunt rodents and other small wild animals (vermin). Terriers come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, but all terriers are energetic, highly intelligent, and territorial. Terries also have the tendency to escape. They require a securely fenced yard.

On the other hand, the Swedish Vallhund belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.

Manchester Terrier versus Swedish Vallhund: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Manchester Terrier to the Swedish Vallhund based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.

However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Manchester Terrier and the Swedish Vallhund

    Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Manchester Terrier in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Swedish Vallhund. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.

    The Better-Pet score for the Manchester Terrier is 74 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Swedish Vallhund is 86 out of 125.

    Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Swedish Vallhund is a better pet than the Manchester Terrier. So, you should get the Swedish Vallhund!

    Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Manchester Terrier and the Swedish Vallhund so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

    Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Manchester Terrier puppy or the Swedish Vallhund puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.

    Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.

    You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.

    Health Problems of Manchester Terrier versus Health Problems of Swedish Vallhund

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the Manchester Terrier and the Swedish Vallhund are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Manchester Terrier is prone to more genetic health problems than the Swedish Vallhund.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Manchester Terrier than for the Swedish Vallhund.

    7 health tests are recommended for Manchester Terrier while 2 tests are recommended for the Swedish Vallhund.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Manchester Terriers and in Swedish Vallhunds.

    Manchester Terrier Health Problems

    Manchester Terriers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Manchester Terrier puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Manchester Terrier puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Manchester Terrier breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Manchester Terriers for:

  • Autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Cardiac Evaluation
  • Eye Examination
  • Juvenile Dialated Cardiomyopathy
  • Legg-Calve-Perthes

    Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Manchester Terrier Breed is Von Willebrands problems.

    This is because the Manchester Terrier ranks 4 out of 15 dog breeds for Von Willebrands problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 171 Manchester Terriers, 2 of them had Von Willebrands problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Manchester Terriers, and how common these diseases are in Manchester Terriers relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Patella problems: Rank 116 out of 145 Dog Breeds
  • Hips problems: Rank 192 out of 198 Dog Breeds
  • Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Swedish Vallhund Breed is Eyes problems.

    This is because the Swedish Vallhund ranks 38 out of 182 dog breeds for Eyes problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 217 Swedish Vallhunds, 6 of them had Eyes problems.

    Disease Manchester Terrier Rank Swedish Vallhund Rank
    Von Willebrands problems 4 out of 15 dog breeds Not Common
    Thyroid problems 41 out of 115 dog breeds Not Common
    Eyes problems 68 out of 182 dog breeds 38 out of 182 dog breeds
    Patella problems 116 out of 145 dog breeds Not Common
    Hips problems 192 out of 198 dog breeds 112 out of 198 dog breeds
    Elbow problems Not Common 106 out of 144 dog breeds

    *To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
