The Gentle Giant Peacemaker

Odin is our big, goofy, lovable Bernese Mountain Dog who somehow manages to be both a total cuddlebug and the self appointed sheriff of the household. He’s equal parts sweet and mischievous, incredibly expressive, and always tuned in to what’s happening around him. 

Whether he’s breaking up kid squabbles or inserting himself directly into your personal space, Odin has a natural way of keeping the peace and bringing everyone together.

Affection is Odin’s love language. He wants to be as close as physically possible at all times, often sitting right on top of you like a weighted blanket and burrowing into your neck or ears. He gives full body hugs, standing up on his hind legs to wrap you up, and has a special talent for turning moments of chaos into laughter. With smaller dogs, he’s the gentlest giant, instinctively lowering himself to make them feel safe.

Odin is also an excellent adventure buddy. He loves road trips, boat rides, fishing with the boys, and off leash time on wooded trails. At home, he takes his rest very seriously and seeks out the coldest spots he can find, usually the basement floor or a drafty doorway. Smart and independent, Odin understands exactly what you’re asking of him, even if he sometimes chooses to do things on his own terms.
