What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

So Tundra, he has an awesome personality. He has one of the most defined, clear characters on the team. He’s a hard driving leader but he expresses his emotions with his eyes really clearly. And he’s one of the easier dogs to interpret how he’s feeling. And he’s one of my measuring sticks actually when we’re running on long runs in the race. He is one to tell me how things are doing overall with his eyes and the expression on his face.

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

So, Tundra is part of the bird litter. Him and his brother, Eagle and their sister Goosie, are in the kennel. His brother Eagle, he’s his right hand man, Eagle and Tundra, they were the finishing leaders last year, both incredibly talented, gifted, hard driving dogs. They never get tired of going and they’re always jumping for joy.

What is the bloodline?

Tundra’s bloodlines descend from Lance Mackey’s bloodline in part. Also, Gerry Willomitzer who is a musher from the Yukon Territory, bred some incredible dogs. And it was kind of his line combined with Lance Mackey, if you go back into, and Sebastian Schnuelle had one of the ancestors as well from Tundra. So there’s some very proven Iditarod champions in Tundra’s background.
