my s.i.l. has a girl mini schnauzer, and the only one of your names that suits her is Oscar - the others are a bit butch for a small dog ( even a boy dog!)

here's a list:

We are getting a black Labrador on Friday. Male and I'm told we are calling it Willow. It's from a local gamekeeper.
I wanted to call it Dennis.
I'm led to believe that many people are using normal names nowadays like Dave, Frank and Tom.

Whatever you choose enjoy...I can't wait.

I still think the new chap should have a Welsh leaning - how about Taffy ?

We had a Cairn called Henry. He lived to the age of 17 and I really could not bring myself to have another pet after losing him.Incidentally, my daughter also currently has a Cairn named Fred, she is an avid cricket fan and named him after Flintoff!

I have a Cairn terrier bitch called Penny (her full name being Penticharm Golden Crown - bit of a mouthful :roll: ) who is now 15 and a half - she is missing a few teeth, is much slower and deaf but still eats well and wants to walk twice a day - I absolutely dread anything happening to her but reassured that your Henry lived to such a good age too. I love all these names like Fred and Tom - the dog up the street is called Trevor :thumbup:

May be when you actually see the dog one of the names will just be the right one Lyndsey.

I have always had girlies, but if I were going to have a boy pup he would be called Stanley!

Hi Lindsey,

Having just returned from 8 days at the tin can l haven't as yet had much time to think about doggy names but considering the origins of the breed one might like to consider 'Bosch' as a suitable name...just make sure he comes with a 3 year guarantee though :lol:

Whatever you do don't take Darkknights lead who called his dogs Fang, Jaws and Snapper...as always please don't tell him l've said that. :D

Regards

Keith

P.s For something a little more unusual how about Flint?.

Someone mentioned "Fred" a while ago so Lindsey could always get three pups and call them "Fred", "Flint" and "Stone" !!

Our springer was called Barney and was as mad as a hatter.

We dont have dogs. However my neighbour has a Shitzu called 'Buster'. He is a real character but so docile, and often walks by with a coat on with the word Security on it. I have taken to giving him treats, usually three at a time, and he sits up and begs for them. He now strains at the leash to get up our drive when he passes each morning, even if I am nowhere to be seen.

Buster is a good name for him.

Lindsey - you can't give your new pup a cat's name - he will have a complex !
