What are his/her unique personality characteristics?
Yupik’s personality is really upbeat, obnoxious male that loves attention and he just … Every opportunity he gets, he body slams you and rubbing his butt up against you. Just wants to be petted and it’s like growly and fun and he just one happy dog.
What is the bloodline?
Yupik is after my main leader Missy and she’s after Solomon the Norwegian dog I brought from Norway. We bred Missy with Geesa, so it’s mixed between the Alaska and Norwegian lines.
