What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

SHE’S VERY FUNNY BECAUSE SHE CAN GO EVERY TRAIL IF WE HAVE A LOT OF SNOW, SHE CAN GO. IT’S CRAZY. IT’S LIKE A FAMILY, YOU KNOW. OH, IT’S LIKE A BIG FAMILY WITH MY DOG. IT’S ONLY — I HAVE OF COURSE 14 DOGS LIKE HER. WE HAVE A MUSHER, BUT IT’S FUNNY. IT’S LIKE ONE GROUP – ONLY ONE GROUP WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER. BECAUSE WITH RUBY AND ME AND THE OTHER DOGS, IT’S LIKE IT’S ONLY ONE BIG DOG, YOU KNOW?

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

YES, I DO. I AM DIFFERENT. IT’S FRENCH DOGS, YOU KNOW. I MIX WITH THE GRAHAM DOGS THEN I HAVE RUBY, MERVA AND PEPPI – A DIFFERENT KIND OF DOGS. SO IT’S MIXED BETWEEN ALASKAN HUSKY AND GRAHAM DOGS, MY DOGS. I BRING MY DOGS FROM FRANCE, 21 DOGS. AND TO BRING IN FRANCE, I ARRIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER TO PREPARE TO TRAIN MY DOGS HERE AND I RETURN IN FRANCE AT THE END OF MARCH. AND DOES THIS DOG HAVE OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS? YES. I HAVE GHETTO, I HAVE SOLOOK AND SILA.

What is the bloodline?
