When our house dog, Joker died, we brought into the house, Select Excellent Grand Champion Asgard's Kirkegaard. We never knew he was a hugger. He always wants a hand on him, and when he gets on the bed, he forces his nose under your neck, unless you are petting him. Then he liked to put his nose against your face. We didn't expect that from this big handsome male. He has grown up, and looks fantastic. Summer is going to start him in Rally this weekend. Now, I ask you. Is that a real show dog? Evan L.
