So, look who I met on a dogshow! This is one of our native breeds here in Sweden. We call it Västgötaspets but outside of Sweden it's known as Swedish vallhund.

It's a small, active and sweet dogbreed once used as a heeler.
I wouldn't mind having one of these ^^

I've never seen a dog like that before. It sort of looks like a dachshound.

Yes, with the short legs perhaps there's some sort of simularity. This breed was used as a heeler - it herded cows by nipping at their heels, so the short legs kept them under the kick hight of the annoyed cows ^^

Ah. Makes sense.
I'm sure the cows weren't too happy about it though.

I want one.

How much does one usually cost. how much does it eat, and how hard is it to take care of?

I'm sorry but I don't have the answers to your questions. This isn't my dog (I have a Tibetan Mastiff).
I know they cost about $1000 in Sweden.
