cachorros What is/are the name(s) of your dog(s) and why?

Sorry for the strange title. I have two dogs:

- Tilly - (♀) - Named by my mother, so I had no say, and do not know why, my great grandmother on her side had a dog named Tilly though, so maybe that's where it came from.

- Dot(ty)- (♀)- Named so because she is a jack russel cross breed, and has one large spot on either side of her. Also has a strange jaw, so always appears to be smiling.

I also had:

Toby/Tobias - (♂) - Named by me when I was younger and it was the name of the character in a book I was reading, so I chose that name. I love the name Tobias even now.

Bosco- weenie dog,named from a seinfeld episode, born during hurricane Katrina and suffered several health problems in the beginning.

Dottie- weenie, dog named because of her dots, is a full size imbred dachshund, deaf, adopted her at 6 months from a rescue shelter no one wanted a deaf dog.
They are like me children!!!

That's really cruel that no-one else wanted Dottie simply because she was deaf. Good thing you did adopt her. :)

Mocha (who has unfortunately passed away, but I thought I'd metion her anyway) Mix of mostly Lab and Golden Retriver. I think she was named so because she was a "mocha" color.

Fiona a Bison Friese, I did not name her my grandmother did. But I think, for a Bison, Fiona is a pretty good name.

My boxer dog is named Fhiann, which is the Irish word for Warrior. My brother named him after our first dog (a rotweiler) who was called Warrior, but as both myself have Irish names, he wanted the puppy to have one too! Its great, cos he'll never get his name mixed up with another dog's! (not that he responds to his name all the time, he has selective hearing my dog, worse than a child!) :)

Rico-he's a long hair chihuahua. I wanted him to have a Mexican name since chihuahua originate from Chihuahua, Mexico. I went to a website of Mexican names and wrote down about 5 I liked. Asked Mom, Dad, Brother and Best Friend whether they liked or disliked each name. Rico was the only name they all like and as soon as I called him, Rico he ran over to me.

My dog is a mixed breed. She's mainly a black lab with some greyhound in her. Her name is Maddie because, well, we liked that name. She does, however, have the middle name Jet because of how fast she can run. (Which trust me, is VERY fast!) :)

My Border collie is named bandit because he looks like he's got a mask :)

Hey Zenstoren - Border Collie, like mine! They're the cutest, aren't they? The smartest, also.. :)

My dog's name (and it's totally my "fault") is Shahar, which in Hebrew means dawn. He's black and white, and in Hebrew that works well (Shahor + Lavan => Shahar). You'll just have to trust me :)

My yorkie is named Cherry because Jerry the mouse was the first animal that popped into my head as I searched for a name and because the way it's written is boring I used the cherry one. LOL.

I know it's weird. ^^

Jake (Shih Tzu) (♂) - My dad named him and I had no say, i was sooo upset! :( it turns out that he named him that after a character in a Stephen King book... obviously as soon as he told me that i ran to read it XD it turns out, i LOVE the character and now i love the name!

Jake (Tri-color Beagle): It's from Sweet Home Alabama. :-]

Bentley (Lemon & White Pointer mix): Me and my brother were watching CMT right after he got a puppy, and a Dierks Bentley video came on. So I suggested Bentley and my brother went with it. :-]

Scooby (Blue Merle Australian Cattledog mix): We got him 7 years ago when my brother and sister were still really into Scooby Doo, so this was a no-brainer.

Lacie (Maltese-Yorkie mix): My mother got a puppy from the same place a friend of ours got one, and our friend named hers Gracie...so my mom thought it would be cute to name her puppy Lacie.


The only other dog we ever had was Sparky, a black Lab mix. We had him for 13 years and my mom said her and my dad named him that because when he was a puppy he had a "sparky" personality.

I have a rough collie, and German shepherd mix named Cassie. We got her from one of those adoption things, and her name was Laurel, but since my sister's name is Lauren she would come everytime my mom called my sister, so we changed her name to Cassie.

Spot (male) because he's a dalmation... don't blame me for the uncreative name, the humane society named him.

Rocky (male). His original name was Horde but my mom hated it and unlike Spot, we could change his name because he's just a puppy and doesn't know his name yet. His name is Rocky because it's cute.
