What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
So, Penguin is actually – she’s a real sweetheart. She’s a 74-pound female. So she looks real big but very, very sweet. Loves to cuddle on the couch. And my twins love to hang out with her on the couch as well. And she’s a real sweetie. And, you know, she’s a sled dog when she’s racing, but she truly is a pet when she’s not. So it’s fun to have her in the house.
What is that litter’s “theme” name and other siblings’ names from that litter?:
So penguin’s litter is named after the American NHL teams. As a hockey player, we use a lot of hockey themes. So Pittsburgh Penguins is the hockey team she’s named after. And the litter mates are Star and Ranger. And then the same breeding one year older are the Canadian NHL teams, which is Senator, Canuck, Flame, Maple, and Jet.
What is the bloodline?
Penguin’s bloodline comes from the Solomon side, and then on the female side, so the Jeff King stuff. So she’s got a really nice bloodline and actually Solomon line bread. So, that’s what’s creating a real nice dog and big solid female that we’re super proud of.
