In other words, let's say Xena and Stevie have litter #1 consisting of puppies A, B, C, D, and E. Xena and Stevie reproduce with each other again, and out pops litter #2 consisting of puppies F, G, H, I, and J. Is puppy A genetically closer related to puppy B than she is to puppy F? Is puppy G closer related to puppy J than he is to puppy D?
