What are his unique personality characteristics?

SHE’S VERY PLAYFUL, VERY OUTGOING, JOVIAL. ANYTIME SHE GETS SNOW ON HER FACE, WHICH IS A LOT BECAUSE THE DOGS ARE KICKING UP SNOW WHILE THEY’RE RUNNING, HALFWAY THROUGH THE RUN OR SPORADICALLY THROUGH THE RUN, SHE’LL JUST START RUBBING HER FACE ON THE GANG LINE; AND, LIKE, JUMPING AND JUST BOUNCING AROUND WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS STILL WORKING. AND THEN UP HILLS, SHE STARTS TO CHIRP AND KIND OF REAR BACK AND THEN LUNGE FORWARD AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUST WORKING.

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

YES, IT’S PRETTY FITTING. SHE WAS BORN IN OCTOBER. HER MOTHER’S NAME IS SCARY, AND HER FATHER’S NAME IS FANG. IT WAS AROUND HALLOWEEN SO WE CAME UP WITH A HALLOWEEN LITTER. SO THERE’S WICKED WITCH, BANSHEE, GRIM REAPER, HELL HOUND, BOOGEY MAN, ZOMBIE AND PHANTOM.

What is the bloodline?

THE MALE WAS FROM MIKE SANTOS AND THE FEMALE WAS FROM GERRY WILLOMITZER. I HAD ONE BREEDING ON THAT.
