Meaning & Story

From Norse mythology, Fenrir is the great wolf — son of Loki — whose name likely derives from Old Norse 'fen' (marsh, bog). He is one of the most powerful creatures in Norse cosmology, bound by the gods but destined to break free.

Fenrir is for the pet who has that ancient, primordial wolf energy — the large-breed dog who seems to carry the weight of Norse legend in his posture. A dog named Fenrir probably moves with a power and intention that reminds you, gently, that dogs are domesticated wolves. He is loyal to his family with an almost mythological devotion, but strangers would do well to approach respectfully. Magnificent and utterly untameable in spirit.
