Kristull Northern Lights X Kristull The Surprise

Tico is a son of one of the “original swamphounds”.
His mother Siru lived at kennel Sarafias, they had a very funny webpage where they coined the expression “Silken Swamphounds”.

Tico was the reason this litter became the browser brothers

Tico was trying to discover the world only an hour or so old.
Normally puppies do nothing but eat and sleep that early, but this puppy went for a walk around the puppy bed, trying to Explore.

He had to be Explorer…
But what to name the 2 brothers?

Internet was still a rather new thing and 3 of the most well known browsers at the time were Explorer, Opera and Netscape.

Tico went to Finland as the stud fee puppy.
