Like mother, like son...

Sundin ran lead beside his mom today. They were a great match. He's a bit taller, but their gaits are the same; they hold their ears the same way; carry their tails in the same position!

Running across the lake on our way home. Team is Pingo-Sundin, Pacer-Ozzy, Franklin-Antare.

Neither of them really wanted their pictures taken after their run! They just wanted their snacks and water!

Wooo Hooo! Look that that!

Glad to see he's finally where he should be

Yay! It sure does sound like they match up really well!

Bet he is having fun too!!!

Both dogs seem to have smaller, more delicate bone structure than
the other Huskie dogs. They look great together in the lead.

Oh, I just love it! Congrats to Sundin!

I think that's the border collie in them. Pingo has a great herding instinct. Mountain bikers don't like it so much--they are her favorite thing to herd in the summer!

That is so great, love the pictures

Great pics!

I love Pingo's Gremlin/Airplane ears.

They sure look great as a team! WTG Pingo, show him the stuff. That's probably such a great feeling for you, to see them together like that.

That's wonderful, Sundin's gonna be a great sleddog! Do he & his mom interact differently than they do with other dogs, do they seem especially close? Does she act motherly towards him? (sorry if it's a dumb question, I've never had dogs that were related, just wondered?)

**lv4dogs** · 02-10-2006, 10:42 AM

WooHoo Sundin boy is lead boy! That is just great. I'm so glad for you that he's finally turning around. I knew once he got a wiff of the real life there he'd be your buddy in no time.

Greta pics, here & in your other thread. Have a great time on your ski trip!

**gemini9961** · 02-10-2006, 11:03 AM

I think he likes it.

Glad to see him up there next to his Mom.

**Anita Cholaine** · 02-10-2006, 11:25 AM

Wohooo!

That's a great team! Both mother and son are really cute.....

I don't think dogs care about family relationships plus they didn't see each other for 3 years so they would have forgotten. I don't think they have a clue that they are related. Pingo is a bit of a flirt with male dogs...she doesn't seem to realize she's spayed. She flirts with him through the fence!

I have several dogs who are related. Mac and Ozzy act like human brothers. They can be nasty to each other, but they don't like if another dog picks on their brother. Delta and Antare are littermates too. They are very bonded. Muskwa is Earle's sire. He's very protective of Earle. No one gets to pick on Earle or they have to deal with Muskwa. They've also never been apart for more than a few hours since Earle was 7 weeks old.
