Like mother, like son...

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?)

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!

I think he likes it. Glad to see him up there next to his Mom.

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.
