I got Wally when he was a bit over 9 weeks of age.   Now he just turned 1 year old and I wanted to do a little experiment with him.   I called the breeder, who's 3 provinces away, and asked her if she could send me something of his father's.   She thought he might not reconize his father but rather just intregued at the smell of another dog.

But curious herself she decided to put a toy in his kennel for about a week and then ship it to me.

I'll film Wally's reaction when he put his nose on it and see if it triggers a reactions.   I'll post the clip when I have it done.

Anyone else tried something similar and got a surprising reaction??
