What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
Groom’s personality is a stoic male leader from the middle of the team. He just melts into the team, really. That’s what we like about him. He just shows up and works every day. Honor is our sweetheart. She’s not a cheerleader. She’s not a melter. She just, she aims to please. And again, she kind of melts into the middle of the team, so just one of my favorites dogs in the yard by far because she likes me.
What is that litter’s “theme” name?…and other siblings’ names from that litter?
Groom and Honor are part of the Wedding litter. We also have Bride running on the team, and Love and Cherish are home, both sweethearts, hard decisions to leave them home. And Mama Hope is leading our team.
What is the bloodline?
Groom and Honor are from very strong Jeff King/Seavey lines that were bred into this kennel and they’re proving it.
