What are his unique personality characteristics?

HE’S ALWAYS A PRETTY SHINY DOG: HE’S ALWAYS HAPPY; HE NEVER GETS DOWN; HE’S ALWAYS WILLING TO GO; HE’S ALWAYS WILLING TO EAT.

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

NO, I JUST CALLED HIM SPLASH BECAUSE HE LOOKED LIKE HE GOT SPLASHED BY A PAINT BRUSH. HE’S GOT DIFFERENT COLORS OF WHITE ON HIM.

What is the bloodline?

THAT’S PRETTY MUCH OUR BLOOD LINES. I’VE BEEN KEEPING THAT BLOOD LINE ALONG FOR AS LONG AS I’VE BEEN RUNNING DOGS, I’VE BEEN KEEPING THAT LINE ALIVE; BREEDING IN AND BREEDING OUT AND BRINGING IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. JUST REAL NICE, HAPPY, DURABLE DOGS.
