The Angrboda Bandog was created to restore the balance once found in the true working dogs of history — a dog that can think, adapt, and act with purpose. Built to guard, herd, pursue, and protect, this is not a dog of excess but of intent. Every trait exists to serve a function. The Angrboda Bandog is bred for real work, soundness of mind, and physical capability, with function, health, and stability above all else.
Tall, athletic, and powerfully built without unnecessary bulk. The Angrboda Bandog carries an air of intelligence and readiness. The body is muscular but lean, capable of explosive drive and endurance. Males display commanding presence and strength; females show the same drive with slightly more refinement. The breed should appear balanced, efficient, and capable of long days in the field.
True working stability is non-negotiable. The Angrboda Bandog is confident, composed, and mentally steady. These dogs must be capable of independent, calculated decision-making — able to assess a situation and respond appropriately without constant direction, while remaining in tune with their handler.
Teamwork and pack compatibility are critical. Dog aggression is a major fault. Angrboda Bandogs must be able to work together without conflict and maintain focus on their task.
Drive is balanced: high enough to pursue or engage when needed, but intelligent enough to settle when the work is done. Fearfulness, instability, or unprovoked aggression are disqualifications.
Short, dense, weather-resistant coat. All colors acceptable that do not compromise health or function — including merle, brindle, black and tan, and solid variations. Markings are secondary to performance.
Function dictates form — height and proportion take precedence over mass.
Movement should be fluid, efficient, and purposeful, showing drive and coordination. Gait should cover ground easily with visible power from the rear and clean reach in the front. The Angrboda Bandog should move like a predator — smooth, strong, and ready to react.
