    I had a cat named Francois. He had a little dark spot on his chin like hair on a Frenchman's chin. He was so good with the 2 Basenjis I had.

    Yeah, that little spot looks like beard, great :D.

    Swedish would work if only OI could get my hubby and friends to pronounce them right, and it is hard, I undertsand as swedish is a hard sounding language as supposed to soft.
    my swedish names of choice are..Ludde, Bo, Nisse, Axel or Noak..


  • I like when the call name is a 'take off' on the registered name, so I would go with either Eddie (for Edgar), or Pogo (for Poe)

    I'm sort of a dork like that


  • Maybe if we saw a pic of the dog it might help. I know you don't have him yet but do you have any pics that they sent you?



  • How exciting Petra!! Congrats! I really like the name Floyd! :D
    He's a lovely boy :)

  • Houston

    lvoss, that is the picture I have as well. Isn't he cute?
    Floyd is one of my favorites, my hubby has a friend named Floyd though, so of course he is thinking about that…

    I do like the playoff on the registered name as well, but none of the ones are cute enough..yet... We thought Edgar but nickname him Gar...but it means so manly it is girly (?) weird..


  • I like Boyd as well. Sounds like Floyd x Bolt :D

    IMO he doesn't look like a Floyd. Sorry Hubby. Could be an Edgar (Eddie) though. Otis and Eddie. See you have to put the 2 names together because there's going to be posts in the future like "OK, Otis and Eddie got into the pantry and ate a loaf of bread and a box of crackers". :D

    Otis and Eddie. See you have to put the 2 names together because there's going to be posts in the future like "OK, Otis and Eddie got into the pantry and ate a loaf of bread and a box of crackers".

    You and I think so much alike..I have been walking around "yelling" Otis and–- to see which one sounds the best together..Otis has been outside so he is not walking around thinking he did something wrong ;)

    We were told by some older friends when we were looking for a name to give our daughter 9+ years ago, to "yell" it out the door three times, that way you know what it sounds like..when you are looking for her to come in after a day out playing..so I am using that same "old wifes tale" antic on finding a suiting name for Edgar..


  • Cant help with a Name Petra, having enough trouble thinking of names for our new pup, have to say my husband is rubbish at picking names :D
    Lucky you getting a Podengo, have you any pics yet ?

    I always think in syllables too. 2 syllables are OK 3 is too many. The rescue lady, Karen originally named Buddy an African name- Vinjari. The one problem is that the kids always ask the dogs name and Buddy is much easier for a 3-4 year old to say or remember. You say "Vinjari" and the kid just stares at you. Plus there's 3 syllables. Sometimes we walk by people and they say "hey buddy" automatically and I say "how did you know his name"? They laugh and say "really"? Plus he's real friendly in that he wants to be your buddy.

    Shelley,

    The only pic I have of him, is this one. He is younger here.
    He turned 5 mo. yesterday, so he is still a baby..not that Otis isn't, he will be 10 mo next week..


  • He is soo gorgeous :D.

    He looks like Edgar (in my opinion) :).
    I like E.A.Poe so it would be the right name for me.

    Is he Podenco Grande?

  • Houston

    Yes, he is Portuguese Podengo Grande, and he does look like an Edgar, doesn't he?
    I can't wait…

    I'd say Edgar too.


  • I wanted P. Podengo Medio before Bujumbura. Maybe sometimes in the future I will have some Bs, Thai Ridgeback, Podengo and big house with huge garden :D.

    How fun - wish we had a musical staircase. We'd put things away more often. And I agree with the recycling bins, they're so plain looking. Maybe the trash collectors would have better days.
  • How cool is this flight attendant?

    Where does your friend live? I do happen to have Portuguese Podengos and the big size HOWEVER I also have the only 2 in the US that are registered. I imported them directly from Portugal. That said - there is a guy in CA that has a few hunting stock not from Portugal but from the Azores - I have asked him for a picture as he also says they are Podengos - but didn't happen. The Podengo has a much narrower muzzle than this dog and does NOT have anything close to wrinkles on their forehead and their ears are up. A bit heavier than the Ibizan but same overall look. I would wonder about a Beezer and ridgeback or lab. And of course if you want to be bored with Podengo pictures go to my website that is under my name and click on the Podengo page.

    We've had people ask us if Cory was a Shiba Inu or a Fox Terrier. Most think she is a Fox Terrier. A couple weeks after we got her, we took her on vacation with us. At one spot, someone asked about her and before we knew it, we had attracted a little crowd. It was really strange and a little worrisome because we hadn't had her long enough to know how she was going to react to so much attention from strangers. It was definitely a new experience for us! Cory took it all in stride and looked like such attention was to be expected!! Pat
