Canon
When Dagur reached a point that sailing isn't the best option to find his dragon rider sister, Heather, Dagur knew that he'll need a dragon of his own and goes to Hiccup for help on the subject. Since Hiccup is the best dragon rider he knows and saving his life has Hiccup owning Dagur a favour. Hiccup wasn't too keen on helping Dagur, as he knew that Heather wasn't ready to see her brother again, he agrees to help in order to keep Dagur's presence on the Edge a secret from the others. Before Hiccup meets up with Dagur in the forest, he comes across a Gronkle and decides to make it Dagur's dragon, even though Dagur was expecting a Skrill that would suit the name Shattermaster. Which is why Dagur had confuse the friendly Gronkle for his dragon's briefest, and even though he wasn't happy with the type of dragon Shattermaster is he decides to except the Gronkle as Hiccup help him to train his first dragon.

Dagur had struggled at first, with Shattermaster moving out of the way as Dagur tries to jump onto his back before dashing off, before he allowed Hiccup to teach him the basics, Dagur is able to bond with Shattermaster and the dragon with him as Hiccup teaches him that trust is the key to dragon training. At the flying part of their training, Dagur accidently gets Shattermaster to stop in mid and gets Hiccup's prophetic leg damaged, to which has Hiccup borrowing Shattermaster to get it fix while Dagur takes a quick ride on Toothless' back and runs into the other riders who aren't happy to see him. Once Hiccup explains why Dagur is one the Edge he gets the others to continue Dagur's training with Shattermaster. During their lesson with Fishlegs, who also rides a Gronckle, they come up with a few trick together and when Astrid joins in and acts badly towards Dagur, Shattermaster growls at her for acting as a Threat to Dagur. Which surprizes everyone as both Dagur and Shattermaster have only known each other for a short time. After Heather found out about Dagur, however, both he and Shattermaster were locked in the pens. Before they were locked up together, Dagur had saw the ships on Hiccup's board and knew that he, Heather and the others are walking into a trap. So he gets Shattermaster to brake them out so they can take on the armada before the others go to face it.

Both Dagur and Shattermaster were believed to have died in the battle when they secretly survived it. At some point after Dagur and Shattermaster took on the armada, the Gronkle had got captured by people who walk in the world of the Dragon Hunters. In order to find his dragon friend, Dagur pretended to have lost his memory while searching for clubs that would lead to Shattermaster's rescue. Dagur didn't let Hiccup and Heather onto his self set mission, when the three of them were in public until they were alone. Heather didn't believe Dagur but Hiccup manages to get her to help them save Shattermaster and the other captured Gronckles. Once Shattermaster was saved, Dagur tells Hiccup and Heather to leave while he and his dragon buy them time to get away.

Fanon
While fans found it odd that Dagur's dragon steed-partner ended up being a Gronckle, as many think that it should have been a Skrill, due to his tribe's connection and history with them, the bond that Dagur shares with Shattermaster changed their minds. As Dagur cares for who Shattermaster he is alone and not for the type of dragon he is. When Shattermaster stopped appearing in the series, after the Gronkle got hurt while Dagur found his new dragon in Sleuther, Fans became worried that Shattermaster had either died from his injury or if Dagur replaced him for a much more intimidating dragon, before Shattermaster is revealed to be alive and has maintained his bond with Dagur in the series finale.
