Andelshavere

Andelshavere, also known as Andelshaver or AndelsHavere, is a type of dog breed that originated in Denmark. The exact origin of the breed is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been developed in the 18th or 19th century as a herding breed, specifically for working with cattle and sheep.

Physical characteristics of the Andelshavere include a medium to large size, with an average height of 20-22 inches (50-55 cm) and a weight of 50-70 pounds (23-32 kg). The breed has a stocky build, with a broad chest and well-developed muscles. The coat is typically black and tan, with a harsh texture and a moderate length. The head is broad, with a curved skull and a well-defined stop. The ears are erect, and the tail is carried low.

The Andelshavere is a working dog at heart, and it requires regular exercise and mental stimulation. It is an intelligent breed, but it can be independent and stubborn at times. As such, consistent training and socialization from an early age are essential to developing a well-behaved and loyal companion.

Today, the Andelshavere is a rare breed, with only a handful of breeders working to preserve and promote the breed. As a result, the breed is not recognized by most major kennel clubs, although some small clubs and registries do list it. Despite its limited recognition, the Andelshavere remains a popular choice among those interested in rare and unusual breeds.
