About Asgeir

Asgeir is a big, gentle guy who thrives outdoors—his working dog roots are clear. Indoors, he tends to get anxious, so a home with plenty of outdoor space will make him happiest. Asgeir has a strong protective instinct and has previously watched over goats and property, especially at night, keeping predators at bay. With the right setup, he could watch a larger area or perimeter and would suit a family looking for a guardian as well as a companion. He gets along well with large female dogs and has always shown a sweet, gentle personality. Kids of all ages are safe around him—he's never aggressive and even when he wants to be left alone with his food, he'll growl as a warning but never cross the line. Asgeir is tolerant of cats once he knows them, though he'll bark if a new cat appears. He does have a hotspot on his back leg that is under vet care, but it hasn’t slowed him down. Big, smart, and loving, Asgeir just wants a yard and people to look after. Ready to meet him? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
