What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
Braavos is really, he is alpha. This is his dog team that I’m running. We have a mutual understanding that he needs to listen to me, but he’s a boss. Which is interesting, a lot of leaders are not typically aggressive dogs. And I wouldn’t say that he’s outwardly aggressive, but he’s definitely dominant.
What is that litter’s “theme” name?…and other siblings’ names from that litter?
He is from our Game of Thrones litter. So it’s Braavos and then his siblings are Qarth, who’s another one of my main lead dogs. Meereen, who’s run many Iditarods, and then Asshai and Yunkai.
What is the bloodline?
Their bloodlines are strictly Mackey-based. So his grandfather was the famous Zorro, and on both mother and father sides, they go back to Zorro. So some really good line breeding of one of the best dogs in the sport.
