What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
SHE IS A WAGGER. SHE WAGS HER TAIL. WAG, WAG, WAG. SHE’S JUST HAPPY. SHE LOVES ATTENTION. HER EYES SPARKLE. AND SHE’S A PRETTY GOOD EATER, BUT SHE’D RATHER HAVE ATTENTION RATHER THAN EAT.
What is that litter’s “theme” name and other siblings’ names from that litter?
SHE’S FROM JEFF KING’S CHAMPIONS LITTER, EXCEPT THAT THERE WERE ONLY TWO FEMALE WINNERS. I PICKED LIL BEAR AND THERE WERE – I NEEDED TO PICK A DIFFERENT NAME BECAUSE HE HAD ALREADY NAMED ONE LIBBY AND ONE BUTCHER. AND SHE WAS A LITTLE BLACK FUZZ BALL SO WE STARTED CALLING HER BEAR. AND SHE WAS LITTLE, SO SHE’S LIL BEAR.
What is the bloodline?
JEFF KING’S ZIG AND BARNUM ARE HER PARENTS.
