Jim Neal Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I’d just like to thank everyone who’s offered their help and advice to me during my quest to find a new pup, I really do appreciate it. My decision is made. I've got a liver cocker bitch coming at the end of May! I just need to get over the hardest part now, and decide on a name. My son’s best suggestions are Pickles or Runny! Of course the mrs is coming up with all sorts of flouncy ones like Felula-Tinkerbelle I just want something that won’t make me sound stupid calling it out in the field, and is a nice positive sounding name so she’ll recognise it on a noisy shoot day. Here she is at 3 weeks old (I'm loving the little white toes), and a pic of the dam which should be roughly what the dog will look like as an adult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob85 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 If she's anything like the liver cocker bitch that I had (named Abbey)then you will find yourself calling her all sorts of names that I cannot write here lest they be censored 🤣, they really do like to keep you on your toes. I do like the name Pixie, but if you want a few looks when you call her you could go with Agnes or Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 use a short name....and a name that wont shame you...............your street cred will take a dive if you are out on a shoot and the dog is being naughty and you are shouting "Darling snookams" at it ....for everyone to hear... mate had a jack russell once called Nigel..........that was quite funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Neal Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Some great suggestions guys. Still not decided! Honestly, I spent less time deciding the name of my first-born son (I just swapped my first and middle names around 😅) Already got a Willow, we lost a Roxy last year, Pip is the name of the pup's mum...quite a few of the names suggested are already dogs that come out on our syndicate shoot so it might get a bit confusing! This should be easier but you get yourself more in a pickle the more you try to think! My favourite is Wicket which the mrs isn't too keen on but I quite like the Ewok reference, being a Star Wars fan, and she's brown and furry!

Jim Neal Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I think we've decided on Hazel. Problem is I've not got "that" feeling about it. GRRRRRRR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Bear Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 off the wall I know but how about Nula/una (depending which source) Queen of the fairies cos if she favours her Dam she will be stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
