What are we going to call these puppies?
The Holiday treats will eventually need real, fancy AKC registered names and half the fun of breeding a litter is coming up with a litter theme. I kicked around a few and am still working on where to go with the theme. I do register the entire litter and I ask new owners to get involve in the name process.
Lindy’s name is Flying Start and I called her Lindy after Charles Lindberg, we also call her Lindy Hop or Hoppy. Oz is Mint Proof, his litter mostly had a gold theme. Most of the Solstice Cardigans have the word FLY as part of their names.
The treats were born on Pearl Harbor day 12/7/10 so I am leaning towards a WWII theme. Easy for a boy but not as easy for the girls. Currently, it is looking like Nog will be going to Houston (dependent on final evals etc) and I know he will be getting a “smart” name. But we still need names for the girls. I’ve come up with some and gotten some suggestions so here is what is on the table so far:
Pinup Girl
Fly Girl
USO Girl
Silverwing
Tokyo Rose
Pearl Harbor
Donut Dolly
South Pacific
Victory Garden
Rosie the Riviter seems like an obvious choice but I know of another young Cardi girl who already has that name so that one is our of consideration.
I’d love to hear other ideas.
Jinnie, don’t forget Memphis Belle and Enola Gay which were two of the World War II US warplanes.
I thought about Enola Gay but didn’t want to use that one after all. Kinda saying we are going to bomb the hell out of you :-).
How about Hana Lu Lu–LOL!
How about Annie Fox? She was a nurse that was at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day. She received a bronze star for bravery for her acts that day.
By the way are all your female pups spoken for?
We have one girl baby whose place has not yet been determined. It will depend on what happens after we do the puppy evaluations to see if all 3 girls are show potential. I’m not one that believes that every dog needs to go to the show ring. If you are interested my puppy questionaire is on the website along with my kennel policies.
What about Rosie the Riveter or some kind of play on that?
Opps, iI’m a dork… it seems I didn’t read to the bottom of the post. :p
You weren’t the only one LOL!
