What are your dogs called?

Growing up I had Sandy and Mac, a lab and a mongrel. Once married OH converted me to JRTs and our first was Henry, we kept the H theme for the following terrierists having Harry, Harvey and Hector and son's dog is Hugo. We also had a wonderful x breed called Digby. I think we'll continue the H's so still need a Herbert, Horace, Haggis, Hamish and if a bitch Hattie so lots of dogs for the future - OH may not agree though!
 
My big gsd is Fenris, a Norse wolf god, son of Loki. He is seriously big even for a gsd, so it does suit. My younger gsd is Sirius, which OH picked because our old dog's show name was Playing With The Stars and Sirius is the dog star. He is very dark for a black and tan shepherd so most people assume it's a Harry Potter thing, which I don't mind at all!

I do tend to choose unusual, frequently mythological names for my creatures!
 
Have abbi my cocker, and my other dog was called darcie, beautiful golden cocker but had to regime her due to her not getting on with my other dog :(
 
I have Bailey who is a German Shorthaired Pointer with a bit of lab thrown in for good measure. Then I have Chaos who is a fawn and white Whippet, Song who is a black and tan Saluki x Whippet and Alfie who is a cream Saluki x Afghan.
I'd like to post pictures of them but no idea how......

Now you have described them you must post pictures Baileybones :) Unfortunately you have to faff around creating a Photobucket account or similar to post the links to pictures on here, drives me mad :( or you could add a link to a FB page if you dont mind doing that
 
Tabu Impia (Bubu) - means 'Another/new Trouble' in Swahili (I used to have a Matata (also trouble in Swahili) and Mneno (also trouble in Swahili) - Swahili is an expressive language with many words for worries, problems and troubles but just the one for happiness - furaha). Tabu Impia is a coconut retriever, found at 5 weeks in a cardboard box at the side of the road in the Caribbean. He is 12 this year, slightly arthritic, lacking in a few teeth and selectively deaf these days but still a happy chap.

A black Labrador called Chui. Which means leopard in Swahili. Well, there's a tendency to call Labs 'Simba', isn't there? And he is huge, of good farm stock.

A black Labrador called Jini. Jini means fairy in Swahili. A working type, and slightly mental, she is far from a fairy, was a rehome, and is a bit of a ho. Here she is, clearly demonstrating that teenage motherhood is a horrible, horrible shock. If ever there was a face that said 'O. EM. Gee. WTVF have I dun?'...

Mind you, she loves him. Don't you just want him to be smoking a cigarette at this juncture? Please don't button push for lewdness.:D

The product of the ho and the farmboy, a golden Lab called Dhahabu. Dhahabu means golden in Swahili.

Have recently met a pug called Parsnip, and a terrier called Toast.
My friend has a pug called Carlton!

Some interesting names on here I will have to remember for future dogs.

Daisy - a proper mutt - I think there's some corgi in there somewhere but she really is of unknown parentage:

And Fred - his Mum was a jrt cross (looked a lot like a jrt, but bigger) and we think his Dad was a border collie

Both rescues . . . Dinks (Daisy) was rescued from a pound in Ireland at six weeks old - she's the sweetest dog on the planet, really . . . Fred's Mum was turned into a local shelter pregnant and unwanted - he's a lot more grey round his muzzle now . . . he'll be 12 later this month.

If you use photobucket you get three different links to click on to add a photo to a post - some display the photo itself, some show as a link - I can never remember which is which when I post pics though!
