No name suggestions as I think they are a very personal thing, but she is gorgeous :) and she is going to be HUGE :) :)

If you want names to avoid, one of my greyhounds is called Hoover :p

Lace, she'll grow in to it. I suspect that she's going to be quite tall. What sort of height at the shoulder were you hoping for? It wouldn't surprise me to hear that she'll make 26"..+..! Do you know how she's bred?

Not being picky, but her collar looks a tad tight. She looks nice and gangly, just as pups should be! She's a smart pup! :)

I've just read H for Hawk where the goshawk was called Mabel - that is a pretty cool name :)

I do (second time ever!!!) agree with Alec about the collar BTW....maybe it is because it is a thinnish collar on a wide neck that it looks tighter in the photos than it is really is though

I reckon dad is a GSD. She will be able to bring down an elephant when fully grown! Peppa. Just to side with your kids. :)

after much debate she is now officially named Fraggle

React Fraggle won the Waterloo Cup, from memory in '91 or '92. He was a first class dog, and sired many decent coursing pups. We used him on a bitch by Master Bob, and as teenage pups, they drew acclaim from all those who knew their Greyhounds!

Anyway! A good name.

Alec.
