JUST BUMPED INTO ON OF THE PUPS ON A WALK

Just bumped into one of shady and dakota's pups on a walk .

dakota stood barking at him tail wagging like crazy , shady just stared , why do you think dakota was barking ?? she's not a dog thats barks at all really certainly not at other dogs

answers on post cards

One of her pups you mean? Prob remembered the pup if so..maybe?

Would think they have a slight bond still, how was the pup???

i thought that but then i though she wouldn't remember him as he's so much bigger and obv would smell totally diff ?

he was looking great picture of health tbh if a but miffed by dakota's barking lol

Had one that new who her sister was, well seemed too anyway! Pleased there looking fit, and must be nice to see them grow

I think they know sort of! Sid and his mum seemed as if they knew something but wernt sure what it was,and he is one!!

Perhaps calling the pup it may have another scent onto of the original scent but they would smell the same to each other from their rear glands etc. I only have to take Taz for a ten minute run while my mum walks Cassie and Blondy on our way back Cassie always reckonising him she goes crazy barks and dashing for him.

They don't just forget their family, that bond is always there. I'm sure dakota knew exactly who her pup was, why she was barking im not sure! My girl remembers all 3 of her puppys even if she sees them from afar. She can be a little DA with dogs she doesn't know but when she sees her babies its all tail-wagging and licks.

They maintain a bond even if they don't see one another much. For example the dog-puppy we had (shadow) hardly ever sees his mum and two sisters but when they do they all slot back into their pack hierarchy and behave like they were never apart.

Not sure why dakota was barking though, was it an aggressive bark or just a noisy bark? If tail was wagging like mad she probably just wanted to see and play with puppy!

It sounds like it was an excited barking. Dogs do forget their parents/siblings/pups in time if they don't see each other, but they're still very young & there may still be some memory of her pups there.

yeh cool , no it wasn'y aggressive at all
