What are his unique personality characteristics?

HE’S SWEET, HE’S SENSITIVE. HIS EYES CAN JUST KIND OF MELT YOU. HE’S JUST A REALLY WARM DOG THAT WAY. HE’S NOT TIMID, BUT HE’S NOT AGGRESSIVE OR DOMINEERING IN ANY WAY. HE GETS ALONG WITH EVERYONE AND HE JUST GIVES YOU EVERYTHING HE’S GOT.

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

THEY WERE THE COLORS LITTER BECAUSE THEIR MOTHER’S NAME WAS ACTUALLY “COLORS”. THAT WAS HER NAME, “COLORS.” SO WE NAMED THEM ALL AFTER COLORS. SO HE GOT “RED.” HE WAS BIGGER AND WE JUST CALLED HIM BIG RED. WHAT ARE HIS SIBLING’S NAMES? KHAKI, IF YOU WANT TO CALL THAT A COLOR, AND CAMO. THE 3 BROTHERS WERE ALL HERE LAST YEAR. CAMO WAS DROPPED EARLY IN FINGER LAKE. HE WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MAIN LEADERS.

What is the bloodline?

WELL, THEIR FATHER IS DECAR. AND DECAR FINISHED WITH US LAST YEAR. DECAR CAME FROM JEFF KING’S KENNEL AND THE MOTHER, COLORS, CAME FROM KEN ANDERSON’S KENNEL.
