Name that pup!

  • I like the Sherwood Forest theme too :) How about Sherwood's secret Maid Marion and call the beautiful pup "marion".

  • She is very beautiful and I too, love "Keeping Secrets" and you all are so clever!

  • I like Secret Endeavor.

  • @JazzysMom:

    Have you ever gone with a Robin Hood, ie Sherwood Forest theme? {Or is that just to corny for words?}

    Funny you should say that…...

    When I was selecting a kennel name to use, I wanted something reasonably short, easy to spell and pronounce, and easy to remember. My name is Robyn and the Basenjis are true hoodlums so Sherwood it was! :p

  • I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D :D she sure is a beauty! And what a spittin image of her papa :)

    I like Secret Reflection (Reflection of daddy that is :) ha!)

  • @jys1011:

    I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D

    Sorry folks this girl is staying with me but if you are interested in one of her brothers…..... ;)

  • How about this: Sherwood's Mystery Reflection and call her "Mystery" or "Misty" for short. This one covers both the fact that Mom kept her a "secret" and the fact that she looks like Dad (reflection)!;) :cool:

  • How about Sherwood's Secret Crush?

    Did you say you have boys? :D
    J/K, I have to wait until the baby is old enough. :(

  • I like Secret Reflection

  • @YodelDogs:

    (Mama dog kept her condition a secret until she was about to pop.)

    Just a little curious - but do you mean that you didn't know the Mama was pregnant? Did she have only one pup? Very interesting!

    :)

    They are LOVELY puppies…see, Baron and Pippin knew what they were doing :)

  • ok ok ok I can't stand it anymore…what's the winning name!!! The suspense is killing ME slowly :D :D :D

  • Great story…love the bathrobe and the incident at the vet - LOL! they all are beautiful, as you know!

  • Ha Ha Ha I can see Robyn in the bathrobe trying to get the dogs in the door-Ha Ha Ha. If I didn't have so many already I'd take one. But I don't think Shadow would appreciate it. And I am partial to blacks as well!

  • The perfect name popped in my head as I was driving home today. Something I had not even thought of until then.

    legacy - something that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time

    This little girl will be formally registered as Sherwood's Secret Legacy!

    You guys came up with some GREAT suggestions! Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun. Now….to decide what I'm going to call her. :p

  • I like that to!

    @YodelDogs: We have already established that Dexter's "breeder" was disreputable. How many litters did this person have? If she had more than one litter then it is entirely possible that the papers that were supplied with Dexter may not have even been from the litter he was in. Very True Robyn

    LOL when we were getting Sayblee, Leora had me on the net and we came up with 100 potential names. I picked my top ten and she crossed them all off. (she was about 9 at the time) She picked Sayblee. So Sayblee became my dog but I insisted on naming the next one, hence Arwen. But it turned out good since she doesn't yodel, but gives a very clear loud R a lot.

    Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….
