Tuva came to us on a beautiful summer day. She was the first "vätte" I had bought since my beloved Busis died ca 30 years earlier. To compete with 
the memory of Busis was really a hard task, but Tuva was greater than I could dream. She immediately placed herself in my heart and she has remained there. She brought happiness into our home as no other dog has done.

Tuva has an incredibly expressive face. She is a happy, loving and energetic dog full of pranks. Everything has to be explored and if her mistress feels 
it is not necessary to explore the forrest right now she gets deaf in a hurry. When she has done her findings she returns home - after a couple of hours! She has had fun while her mistress's nails have been bitten down... Beween the expeditions she is perfectly obiedient.

Her appearance is lean and lithe. The judges sometimes call it "thin boning", but it tolerates jumping out of a window about 2 meters down followed by 
an "unauthorizised expedition". I prefer a lithe dog before a "block", but that is a matter of tastet. Her  offspring  have not inherited this configuration. 
The only time she shed hair was when I gave her a different kind of food, otherwise she doesn't shed more hair than her master or mistress.

The year before Tuva came to us I was ready to get a Swedish Vallhund, but my husband said "It's enough to have ONE dog in the house". Well you 
have to decide together so I had to wait. Then our dog died and Tuva moved in. After a couple of weeks I realized that I just had to have a pup from 
her as a safety if anything happened to her. To my great surprise my husband answered that it was OK. Now we have three dogs and I want another 
puppy. So what does my husband say? "Three or four doesn't matter. They are so easygoing." 

Tuva and her offspring have not only conquered my heart! Even my brothers in law who normally not are very fond of dogs love Tuva. She is simply so 
charming that it is hard not to love her.

So far Tuva has two litters. They have their own pages: The Divina Comedia-litter 2006 and the Star-litter 2009.
