What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

HE’S A HOPPER. HE’S PROBABLY LIKE UPPER 60S, LOW 70- POUND DOG. HUGE DOG. AND HE BOUNCES AROUND EVERYWHERE. AND RIGHT BEFORE YOU FEED HIM HIS FRONT PAWS WILL DO THIS LITTLE PRANCY DANCE. AND HE JUST GETS SUPER EXCITED. AND FOR HIS SIZE, HE LIKES JUMPING ON HIS HOUSE UP AND DOWN. YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS, THAT HE’S A BIG DOG.

What is that litter’s “theme” name and other siblings’ names from that litter?

YOU KNOW, I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. HE WAS FROM A, I THINK, NORWEGIAN TEAM.

What is the bloodline?

YEAH, BLOODLINE. SO HE GOT PURCHASED FROM A NORWEGIAN OR SWEDISH TEAM. I’M NOT POSITIVE, BUT SCANDINAVIAN. DO YOU KNOW ANY SIBLINGS’ NAMES? NO, BUT HE HAS A LOT OF OFFSPRING. HE HAS A SON NAMED BEAST.
