What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
Owl is a pretty funny dog in that she’s a little boss. She likes to growl and snarl at everybody. My wife likes to call her “howler monkey,” because she just won’t shut up. But she’s quite into the group dynamic and likes to watch everyone and what they’re up to, which is why she’s typically running at the back of the team. That’s where your bossy, more dominant dogs usually end up.
What is that litter’s “theme” name and other siblings’ names from that litter?:
Owl was from the Alaskan animals litter. So her siblings are Orca, Coyote, Martin, Moose, Lynx, all named after animals here in the state.
What is the bloodline?
Owl is from one of our very best females who we bought from Lance Mackey years ago. And then, her father is Reef, who is Dallas Seavey’s winning leader in one of his last champion races here in Iditarod. We’re pretty excited about her genetics, and she brings a lot of attitude and spunk to the team. And her brothers are already fathers to pups in our kennel.
