I had the same kind of experience when I bought my foundation bitch from Ann
Mesdag. She was shipped to me at 10 weeks of age. When she was in the 6-9
month puppy bitch class handled by me the same thing happened. Hanna almost
pulled me out of the ring and who was she going to see but Ann who was
ringside and I didn't know it. I was so amazed. Hanna acted like Ann was
her only owner.

Many years ago I bought a puppy from Lori Nickeson in Oregon. At the time, I
lived in Pennsylvania and a good friend recommended Lori as an excellent
breeder. After Lori and I met at the next National, spent some time together
and I met a couple of her dogs, I decided I wanted a puppy out of Lori's
breeding. So, I put my name on her waiting list. When "Annie" was flown home
she was about 16 weeks old and it would be a little over two years before
she would see Lori again.
I had taken Annie to the National and, of course, Lori knew I was going to
be there. Annie and I were standing in a crowd of people and Annie was being
her usual self -- very friendly but aloof and completely at ease with the
crowds. All of a sudden I was nearly pulled off my feet as she lunged, tail
wagging and barking in excitement. To my surprise, there was Lori at least a
100 feet away, walking through the crown towards us.
What a reunion and it was the same way every year until Annie stopped going
to the National.
So, yes, I do believe dogs have long term memory, although I also believe a
lot has to do with the way Lori raises her puppies.
