What should we name her?

[kshunter]

We're picking up a Boston Terrier puppy tonight. She's the typical black/white color combination, however she has a unique white circular spot on the back of her neck. The breeders named her Dottie, but we would like to name her something else. Any ideas that would have something to do with spot or dot?
Thanks,
Rob

I know a GSD named Dot, it's a cute name
she calls her Dottie mostly - I like that name

I think you should wait and see what her personality is like..i tend to name my dogs after people that i think they have similar personalities..but that is just me.

I agree wait till you bring your pup home and watch them and check out their personalities and go from there. Congrats

There is a quarter horse I am training/boarding right now with that name and she is a real sweety. She is a chestnut with a white circle of hair just above her knee. Means she had to be spayed before registered, any white on the legs above the knee is considered a fault.

Well there is you horse lesson for today.

That white spot could only be a "diamond." I love bostons, congrats on your new puppy. Anything with a smooshed face is a-ok in my book

I knew a dalmation named Spatter (like in spatter-painting) and I thought it was adorable.

My friend has a grey cat with a white nose. The kitty's name is Smudge. It's a very adorable name.

Or, how about Angel Kiss?

I also love the name Halo

I do, too! My family thinks it's a strange name, but I've always wanted to name a dog Halo.

Isn't it the cutest! It just doesn't fit for a pug unless of course the halo is held up by horns LOL!!

fifi would be a cute name

How about Dollup? As in putting a dollup of sourcream on something. Then you could call her Dolly.

A horse spayed before registration?
Is that simply so she won't be bred by some BYB later?
It's not policy by the AQHA is it?

 

[Manchesters]

They spay female horses?????? I thought they just gelded the males so they can't breed. How on earth do you spay a mare?????? Geeshhhhh!!!!!!!

 

[Saje]

That's what I was wondering Manchesters. I've never heard of spaying a horse. And I've been involved with them for... 15+ years.

We had a dodge durango my husband named Dottie. I don't know if many of you are familar with the part in Armeggedon where the man is calling to report the meteor and he's like "the first one to see her gets to name her right? Well I want to name her Dottie, after my wife...she's a vicious, life-sucking, b@!*h from which there is no escape". We tried to trade that car in 3 times and NOONE would take her, finally we found a dealership that would take her. I would wait and see what her personality is like before deciding on a name. Sorry went off on a horrible rant there but I heard dottie and it reminded me of that stupid car (sorry for any of you that have one I just never liked her).

Here is some info that I found on spaying a female horse.

I've never heard of it either. We always had geldlings. We did have friends who showed mares and at that time in their cycle , they did act up in the ring.

I was thinking of the name Target ? That was the first thing I thought of anyway. Its not too femanine though. I love the name Splatter for the dalmation. You really do need to see her to get to know her personality before settling on a name. Congrats and good luck!
