Hey Morian , great nickname - "shalaika" .... I like it.
But what about telling them better "shalalaika" - sounds more melodically, right ?
(And it has a little more affinity to Russian folklore...!)
Ok, and how we´re going to call our race now ? May be "wosheps" ( from wolf and shepherd dog ) would be a fine nickname ??
Or better " Shepwos" ?
Best greetings , Uli alias Silvester
