Brothers to see eachother once again

[BlackST]

Last night my fiancee received a message on Facebook.
It was a lady who asked if we had a Labrador by the name of Charlie and did we get him from Malton in Yorkshire.

Fast forward a couple of messages and the lady is the niece of the breeder and owns the brother to our dog. The crazy thing is, she lives a mile away!
That is Malton in North Yorkshire to Prescot in Merseyside and the two brothers just happen to live a mile away from eachother.

Going to ask if the two can meet. Would be amazing if they could tell if they were blood related

When we had our lab there was one sister left, which was to be picked up the following day.
This family live 7 miles away from us and we have seen then while on walks,so the 2 sisters have met,but to me it dosen't seem any different as to when our dog meets any other dog,have a sniff at each other and of they go.
I often wondered the same as you.

I always wondered about that.

We got our lab from a breeder who kept one of his sisters. When they were both a year old, we took him back over for a couple of hours. His sister was surprisingly aggressive towards him. Perhaps because we were on her territory, perhaps she was just a bad tempered bh.

Ours was clearly quite distressed during the visit.

I guessed it would be highly unlikely As us humans wouldn't really be able to tell if we were in the same situation neither.
Will still be good though especially as we walk him close to the ladys house as there is a lake surrounded by alot of greenland so a place to meet won't be a problem.

I don't think they do really.

However, one thing I like - perhaps suggest it to your breeder... Organise a day (perhaps at the one year birthday point) for all the puppy owners from a litter to go back to the breeder. Then have a "litter" picture taken.

My grandma's dalmatian used to go absolutely mental with joy when her old breeder visited (family friend) along with the dog's mother. Really sweet but I'm sure she remembered the human more than the dog.

Met up with the breeder of mine this year. He brought the mother and sister to my dog. There didn't seem to be any connection there. They had not seen each other for over 2.5 years.

Tend to agree
Many moons ago I had a springer and her brother lived 500yds away, there didn't seem any family connection actually more the opposite
