Stark is white with a hint of red on his ears.  Stark is bi-eyed which means one eye is blue and one is brown. Stark is smart, very friendly, and has the role of greeting the Arctic Paws guests.  He loves his older sister CeeCee, and never missed the chance to play with Yazzie.  He loves squeaky toys, especially a rag like skunk and his snorting pink pig.  He will give you his paw, and sometimes he gives kisses. He likes to gurgling and howl and guests.  Stark is partnered with Tuzigoot as lead dog this winter and doing very well.
