What are his unique personality characteristics?

HE DOESN’T EAT WELL. I HAVE TO HOLD LITTLE TINY PIECES IN MY HAND TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO EAT. HE’LL GO THROUGH WATER. HE’LL DO ANYTHING THAT I ASK. HE DOES TRUST ME.

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

IT’S “R” LITTER, SO THEY’RE RAINY, RASCAL, RUGBY, ROGUE.

What is the bloodline?

HE COMES FROM A DOG THAT’S NO LONGER ON THIS EARTH. IT’S NAME: SAILOR, THAT DID REALLY WELL IN THE RONDY YEARS AGO. AND I’VE HAD GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. HIS DAD IS A DOG NAMED – OUT OF SAILOR – NAMED HAPPY JACK. HAPPY JACK HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR MAIN STUDS THAT WE HAVE USED. AND HAPPY JACK IS 15-YEARS-OLD NOW, SO HE’S A PRETTY OLD BOY.
