What are his unique personality characteristics?

HE JUST HAS A QUIET CONFIDENCE ABOUT HIM, HE HARDLY EVER BARKS AND I JUST THINK HE LEADS BY EXAMPLE. HE’S NOT GOING TO BE A BULLY OR SHOVE ANOTHER DOG AROUND. HE’S JUST GOING TO DO HIS JOB AND BE LIKE, ‘THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE. YOU CAN FOLLOW ME AND WE’LL GET THE JOB DONE.’

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

THAT REALLY IS INTERESTING. MICHI HAS HIS BROTHER, WHICH I HAD LAST YEAR. I HAD COLT AND HENRY ON MY TEAM. AND COLT WAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER LEADER THAN HENRY, SO MICHI GOT HIM. AND THERE WAS A MIX-UP – BECAUSE THEY’RE ALMOST TWINS – ON WHO WAS COLT AND WHO WAS HENRY. SO WHEN I RETURNED BOTH OF THEM, I SAID, “THIS IS COLT, THIS IS HENRY.” AND I COME AND VISIT THEM OFTEN. AND SO SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, COLT TURNED INTO HENRY AND HENRY TURNED INTO COLT. SO THEY’RE REFERRED TO BY “EITHER/OR”.

What is the bloodline?

I’M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO THE PARENTS ARE, BUT …
