Puppy pictures and name help

[Henbug]

I don't know which it will be but I am definitely having a bitch. She is a Lagotto Romagnolo. Any ideas of names? A photo of the puppies at 24hrs old:

Gosh they'll be cute! So what is the actual breed then, I take it they're not pure breds all being coloured as opposed to the mum? If they are, what are they used for?

 

[Henbug]

They are pure breds and apparantley they will turnout to be much the same colour as the mum. Their white parts will turn brown roan. A Lagotto is an old Itallian breed. They are Italian water dogs. Initally there were used for duck tolling and then as they were used less for this they started to be used for truffeling (sp) although there are very few working ones left.

I had to google them - truffle hounds

I'm rubbish at names though, I call my dogs unusual names so everyone thinks I am odd

What about an Italian girl's name?

I was thinking along those lines and came up with Pippa. In Italian it means 'lover of horses' and if I shortened it, it would be Pip which is also fine (I know a dog called Buttons so she gets called But, not so good

). But I'm not sure whether I actually like the name or not

.

My dog is called Pippa and I never knew that's what it meant! How strange!
She gets called Pip, Pipski and when she's very naughty PippaJames!!
Still like Truffle though LOL
