Furry fandom was passed down from one family to the next?

I ask this because if you think about it, there's a handful amount of people
who take this as not just a fandom, but almost an identity.

Like that would be...interesting if some artist made a living, and then taught
their offspring everything they knew to continue the family business.

"See all this art and effort, son? It's yours now."

I believe the creator of the Dune series passed on his literary world down to
the next generation.
