I only have one boy of unknown parentage as he is an adoption but my guess is that they probably do "know" family by scent if not sight. Their differing reactions to "family" probably relates back to the "pack" mentality. A female may have two daughters that she treats completely differently due to her perception of their ability to challenge her as "alpha" female in the future. I would guess it is similar for males. Time together as a "family", as with humans, is probably also a factor. Just my thoughts.
I think Jazzy reads this forum….

…and she's getting ideas.
The last two days my normally very well-behaved lady has been into EVERYTHING!!!!!!!:mad:
Digging in closets, pulling up rugs, stealing hairbrushes, tearing pillowcases, eating little plastic army men.Yup. No doubt in my mind; she's reading this forum.:p

you know that is not what really happened. trust me, i have the inside scoop. get this:
your DH has been doing all these things and letting poor jazz take the blame. he is very worried about you wanting another basenji puppy. this is his way of talking you out of it. i know it sounds desperate, but you know how men dont like to compete for attention! -
Hmmm, I wouldn't put it past the sneaky devil.
Well, good luck to him, then, cuz there is NOTHING that will make me stop wanting another little B!
