Queen Bitch Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Some breeds or types of dogs ( big and black for instance) tend to get named stereotypically. What sort of names do your breeds get saddled with? I'll start: Dalmatians:Cinder, Spotty, Dotty, Domino, Freckles, Ashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peng1zrule Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 in my part of the country, almost all black chows are called bear. red and white chows, not quite so much...usually they get names like snowball. the red ones are anyone's guess. but, bear is the dominant name of all chowchows in this part of the world!

imported_Kat Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Border Collies are a bit more difficult and usually because of their working nature get short sharp one syllable names. Commonly though are Glen, Shep, Tip, and Mac (very scottish borderish where they originated on the borders with N.England)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsefeathers! Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 [quote name='Holz_Boomer'] i find that one is Poodles=Fido... [/quote] It must regional thing. As many Poodles as I know, I've never met a Fido. :-? I swear every single Toy Poodle (or toy breeds in general) is named Precious, Molly, Angel, Sassy, Mi Mi, Fi Fi, CoCo and _____ Baby (fill in the blank with anything... I know a Hope Baby, Sugar Baby, Pooh Baby). For some reason, nearly every female Cocker Spaniel I know is named Maggie. Bulldogs and mixes usually have some tough guy name like Spike, though I know one cool Pit Bull named Snookie. Makes me giggle every time. It seems that every Standard Poodle should have a French name like Jacques, Pierre or some unpronouncable (for me) name. When I first named Perry, people wanted to call him Pierre. No, no, he's not a French Poodle, he's an AMERICAN Poodle... call him Perry. :P Golden Retrievers around here generally get good ol' boy names like Sam, Fred, Buddy and Charlie. I think the majority of them are named Sam. I had a Sam in today, actually. Buddy is the common Lab name around here. Color specific... red/brown dogs are typically named Rusty. Small white dogs often get Snowy, Snowflake, Snowball, Lily or just plain Snow. Black and white parti color dogs are almost always called Oreo or Patches. Anyone ever notice it's the truly evil dogs that have names like Angel or Precious? :o Also, ever notice that when people meet another dog with a name like theirs (say, Buddy), they always seem surprised, as if they thought it was original? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 black labs - Blackie, Midnight, Starless (THAT one I thought was original at least), Ebony, Shadow.... Yellow labs - Goldie, Ol Yeller (no joke) Sunshine, Sunrise....Sheena (who also owned Shadow) While searching out clues on my Foxhound there seems to be a lot of people who name them Fox, or Foxy.... Collies - Lady, or Lassie...altho I knew someone who named hers Timmy....never did figure that one out.... I have a friend who is getting two Labs, and wants to name them "Starsky and Hutch"....I thought THAT was cool.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__crazy_canine__ Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Did anyone ever notice that spaniels usually have proper names for the most part. My aunt's dog's name is Reginald! :roll: Reggie for short, but just the thought of Reginald for a dog makes me cringe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 My family was VERY unoriginal. We always had either yellow labs or golden retrievers. And we had about 8 dogs in a row that we named Sandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labs---- Buddy (if I had a nickle for every lab named buddy in this area.... :roll: ), Champ (not so common now as in past years, but still quite a few), Angel (one in particular I used to walk, Angel... yeah right :lol: ), Blackie, Lady GSDs---- King, Sergeant(sp?)
