I thought this would be fun.. (midnight game)

When I walk my two goobers, I always get people asking if they are related. They always say they look a like - of course, these people think all GSD's look a like - but in my case, the two goobers are actually half siblings (same sire).

I notice a few things about them in both appearance and behaviour that relate directly to their sire, but I was curious about what else people see that look similar about the two.

So.. I am going to post a stacked photo and a head shot of both - try and see if you can find some similarities between the two. If anyone else has siblings or half siblings or cousins (or whatever) feel free to post their photo's here as well so we can play this little midnight game.. lol.

Stark

Zefra

And the two of them together.

Gorgeous, strong heads (but with very distinct secondary sex characteristics), lovely depth of chest, can't wait to see Zefra once she has filled out! And, of course, can't forget to mention the excellent expression.

Here's Trent

His younger sister (same parents, different breeding) Zeppelin

Their dam, Quinny (pedigreedatabase photo, presumably taken by breeder)

Quinny's dam, Quitte (photo from owner/Quinny's breeder's website)

Headshots -

They both have long tongues

Seriously though...I am not one to critique or anything. Can only say they are as Handsome/Beautiful as always

Gorgeous dog families!

This is Benny with his two half sisters. Greta, the long coat is 3 months younger than Benny and Ella is three months older. They all have the same sire but each a different dam.

Rei - something tells me that somehow, somewhere our dogs are related. I don't know jack about pedigrees, but Oliver's grandmother (I don't know who bred her, I just know his parents) looks so similar to Quinny - it's a very distinct face. I wish I had a picture of her, but she passed away last year.

Trent reminds me a lot of Oliver somehow. Maybe it's all in my head.

How the heck do I post pictures? I've done it before, but I don't remember what I did!
