It is really interesting to hear the story behind dogs' names... because there always is one! <grin> Your mention of the sable puppy brought this story to mind.. a couple of years ago, I had a litter that I decided was going to be my "Fire" litter.. (not sure why) one became Flare and another was named Inferno--- Inferno is sable, so her obvious call name had to be "Scorch"...I ask you...what looks more like "scorched" than a sable?? To make this granddaughter related, Piper loves Scorch.. and calls all the dogs "Scorch"!!! (Except for our male Jessie James - she says he is the bestest dog in the whole world!)For the longest time, all GSDs were "Jessie James" to her...

I've got a couple, one I bred, one I did not. > BIS Select Ch. Plainbrownwrapper v Jada-Edan's call name should have been "BAGGY", not "PUNKY", according to one of her breeders, Jane Cooper. The pick bitch in the litter's name was Plainbrownwrapper. The 2nd pick was (something like) PeachnPunkinpie. As the two pups grew, it was obvious that "Punky" the 2nd pick was BETTER than "Baggy" the 1st pick. But they already knew their names. SOOOOO, that's why Punky ended up being Plainbrownwrapper (and the rest is history.) > Another one is my black CH Landsend's Tetley Tea Kid: SIMPLE--I LOVE tea and every pup in the litter was named after a brand or type of tea. We called her THE KID. > For the future, I would like to name a sable bitch pup that I keep from Forest "Aphoebe of Landsend" in honor of that wonderful moving machine of the 80s--"Aphoebe of Fran-Jo." > End of story.
