What are his unique personality characteristics?

I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS, HE’S A VERY MELLOW DOG AROUND ME, BUT WHEN WE GET OUT ON THE TRAIL, HIS ATTITUDE AND DRIVE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE IS IN THE YARD. HE’S REALLY HARD DRIVING AND REALLY SOLID. HE JUST SEEMS WAY DIFFERENT ON THE TRAIL THAN HE DOES AROUND THE YARD.

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

NO. WELL, I GUESS MY GIRLFRIEND DID A KIND OF THEME FOR MOST OF THEM. THERE’S, LIKE, WILLIE NELSON, ELLIE MAE AND SO THERE’S SOME SINGERS, AND OLD SINGERS.

What is the bloodline?

THEY GO BACK TO A LOT OF JEFF’S STUFF. JEFF KING? YEP.
