What are his unique personality characteristics?

OH, HE’S KIND OF A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY DOG. HE DOESN’T TAKE ANYTHING TOO SERIOUS, BUT HE DOES HIS JOB. BUT SOMETIMES HE GETS TOO HAPPY-GO-LUCKY AND SLACKS OFF A LITTLE BIT, BUT I UNDERSTAND HIS PERSONALITY.

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

THE RACES THAT I’VE DONE. KUSKO, GIN-GIN, KOBUK, BASIN IS HIS BROTHER WHO IS IN LEAD. BASIN FOR THE COPPER RIVER BASIN? YEAH.

What is the bloodline?

THAT’S A BLOOD LINE THAT I’VE BEEN BREEDING OVER 5 GENERATIONS. IT ROOTS BACK TO SOME DOGS THAT I HAD FOR ON A TRAPLINE WHEN I WAS IN EAGLE. AND THEN I CROSSED INTO A SPRINT DOG FROM DEAN SEIBOLD. AND THEN I MIXED IN SOME OF JERRY RILEY’S STUFF OUT OF NENANA, AND STEVE BERGMAN STUFF OUT OF ALLAKAKET.
