Spurðann is a sweet little guy a afraid of nothing. When we first introduced him to the other dogs, he growled at them, he was already trying to establishing dominance! He is very energetic and loves to play all the time. He gets along good with the other dogs, but Snotra and Nella are his favorite, where ever they are, Spurðann sure is to be there too. He is such a character full of fun and personality. He is very typical for the breed, can jump and climb just about anything he always sits on the highest point to look out, if it is in the house or outside. He is very alert and high energy for play, walks, run or work, but calm when in the house resting. He always has a happy smile.
We sure love this little guy very much.

Jeff and Kristinn went to Frederick Maryland to pick him up from a wonderful lady Álfhildur who was gracious enough to get him from the airport in Baltimore and keep him overnight.

Spurðann is happy, smart, funny and such a good boy that always makes us laugh.
He loves playing in the heat of a summer day, or out in the snow on the coldest winter day, although snow is his favorite playground.

He is very much like his father Kátur. When inside he will sit on the windowsill and keep a watch what is going on with the world outside.
He is a great daddy, he loved playing with the puppies when he had them here, and he loves his little Nella and plays with her all the time.
He is just the sweetest little guy and we are so happy to have him in our family.
"[Spurdann] is beautiful and fits the standard to a T."
