So sorry to hear about Duncan.

I've had all my dogs except Killer as puppies. But I still wonder what happened to their parents and siblings. After having Nebo for a year I contacted the lady who bred him and went back to visit. Recently before someone had brought back his brother...it was just that pup and Nebo left when I picked Nebo so I remembered seeing him as a pup. As pups he and Nebo looked like twins...it was weird to see how much different they looked at a year old. The brother (Rusty) wasn't neutered and had been an outside dog, his fur was much thicker and ragged looking and he was somewhat aggressive. I don't know what happened to him after that the lady was trying to find him a new home. Another couple years after that when I was looking on petfinder all the time because I wanted another husky I found his parents on there for adoption. I know it was them for sure their names were Kiara and Kovu which aren't super common names plus I had pics that matched their markings. At least they were with a rescue not a kill shelter, hope they found homes.

I have no idea what happened to any of Keva's parents or siblings, the city I got her in isn't really close so it's unlikely I'd run into any of them. I still talk to the lady who gave me Skya her parents are loved and spoiled pups she keeps in contact with at least some of the pups owners too. I ran into one of her siblings at my work one day, at least I'm pretty positive it was he was the same age, close to the same size, and looked just like her except for brown eyes.

Corby got Killer from a guy who was moving out of the country. He had two lab/pit mixes one was a puppy but he had rehomed that one first. Corby doesn't know too much of his history but I believe that guy was his only other owner and the guy let him sleep in his bed at night so he couldn't have had it too bad. I'm glad he didn't end up in the shelter I don't imagine he would have made it out of there being a big black dog and a mix of two of the most common breeds in shelters.
