and going to be a big boy.
I like larger dogs, myself, esp. their nice deep barks when someone comes onto the property.

When I fed him (just weeks old) I would put my hand in his dish, when I gave him a bone I'd take it from him praising him for not growling or nipping.
That work has paid off in spades LOL , Kane doesn't growl or nip when Ragnar helps himself to Kane's chews or toys. We're careful to not leave them unsupervised though and not be lulled into a false sense of security. Accidents can and do happen.

They seem to like each other

When I brought my pup home, the older (and much larger) dog totally bonded with him. I realized he must have been lonely. Here's hoping that your two have the same kind of relationship. And thank you for adopting. My dog's from rescue, too...

Have you been watching the Vikings on the History Channel by any chance? It's the saga of Ragnar Lodbrok.
