My dog Baskerville was part of a litter of 11 pups and, since they were lurchers, which in this case meant "thoroughly crossbred mix of nearly half a dozen different herding and sighthound breeds" pretty much no two pups had the same size, coat or markings when we saw them all at 3 weeks old and picked out ours (the only one to have inherited the classic black and white Border Collie markings). When we picked him up at 8 and a half weeks nearly all of his siblings had been picked up already and I'm honestly dying to know what they all look like now at 2 years old! I'd like to know what their father looked like too. I'm a bit of a nerd about both dog breeds and genetics so it'd be super cool to me if I could see what even some of Baskerville's siblings look like as adults, but alas, it's probably impossible since we obviously don't know a single one of the owners of the other pups. I just wanna know whether the one pup who was bigger than him at 3 weeks old is still bigger than him now goddammit!
