LITTER NAME THEME

The theme for this litter is "Brave." I looked for something that combined "war" and "love" to reflect the sire's and dam's names, and Rowdy's breeder / owner suggested Braveheart. I liked that idea very much (after all, it takes bravery to love, as well as to fight), so I adopted it. Fair warning, I've reserved the name Arctic Hope's Brave Heart for my "keeper" puppy, but here are some other suggestions. As always, puppy buyers are free to come up with their own ideas so long as the registered name fits the theme.

THE SIRE & DAM


Northpaw's War Games, WWPDX "Rowdy"	Arctic Hope's 1st In My Heart, TT, WTD "Asik"

Rowdy (Northpaw's War Games, WWPDX) is a 10-year old, seal and white boy who is wonderfully healthy, energetic, confident, friendly, and a dynamic worker. In addition, he contributes size and substance, good pigment, nice feet, and a great coat. This breeding reaches back to some common ancestors in Asik's pedigree, but also brings in some new lines. We are deeply indebted to Rowdy's breeder/owner for allowing us to use him.
