It’s amazing where you can find relatives. So there me and my pal @lucythelab were on twitter talking about stuff as you do when suddenly she said that she’d looked at my pedigree on the blog and we were related. Not only that but so was @wigglethedog.
Apparently our joint relation is English Champion Kupros Master Mariner. You can find out about him here
He is a great great great grandfather on both my mother’s and father’s pedigree line. He is also a great great grandfather on both sides as well.
He is one of Lucy’s great great great grandfathers on her mother’s side. Now for those of you who don’t know Lucy, she was born near Seattle, Washington, USA. So someone on her mother’s side must have made a very long journey across “the pond” at some point in their lives.
As for Wiggle, well he is a great great great great grandfather on his mother’s side twice over.
All I can say is that Kupros Master Mariner must have been a very busy boy!
I also discovered that Wiggle and I have another relation in common – Subar Mister Brown. He is one of Wiggle’s great grandfathers on his mother’s side and he is one of my great great great grandfathers on my father’s side.
This bloodline stuff is weird and I get a headache even trying to think what the exact relationship between the three of us might be. So I shan’t bother and simply think of them as my cousins.
I wonder what other relatives I might have out there who read this blog?

It is amazing when you think about it! Mom was so surprised when she saw Wiggle’s pedigree & realized we were related, and then to find out I’m related to you, too.
CH Kupros Master Mariner was not only prolific, but handsome as well so I can see where we all got our good looks, BOL!
Lucy the Lab
Stella has no relations in common with you but I just found a pedigree database and can trace her father’s side back to 1909! I shall have to type her a blog about it sometime!
Have you checked whether our friend @urbangundog is related? He’s a busy boy so I wonder if people will be talking about him in the future BOL.
I’m pretty sure I’m not related to you but then that’s probably something to do with me being a spaniel and you being a labrador. Perhaps I’ll put my pedigree on my blog and see if I have any twitter relations too
What fun!!
Wow… it’s amazing that you’re all relatives and now you know each other. How wonderful.
pawhugs, Max
Wow, it really is a small world! That’s amazing!
