Strictly speaking, what you have is a sun pillar. Sun dogs form to one or both sides of the sun. https://www.weather.gov/arx/why_halos_sundogs_pillars
Like this you mean?
 A pack of sun dogs in Levi by John Liddle, on Flickr
As you can see, there are 3 sun dogs/sun pillars (the left-most one is a bit weaker, but still there).
Low sun and ice crystals make for some amazing phenomena - this is an example (again from Levi) where the sun has produced a beam across the land rather like the shine path you get across the sea as the sun sets. I just managed to get the camera out to catch it as it aligned with a skier.
