I say yes!!! Years ago I had a lovely sable boy that I was showing. He would often spend a week or two at his handler's home for training. He bonded really closely to the handler's wife since he pretty much lived in their house when he was there. Anyway, I brought him to a dog show one weekend. He immediately spotted his handler's wife who was busy grooming another dog & just ignored him. I took him away to do some last minute grooming and so he didn't see her until after the show. She was going to take him home with her for another training visit, so she called him. He turned his head the other way and tried to walk away from her. When she was able to take his leash, he continued to ignore her. She told me later that he didn't acknowledge her until they got to her home and she brought him inside and offered him some dinner. I also think that bitches especially will harbor grudges against other bitches for years.
