What is this dog called?

An acquaintance has a huge and gorgeous German Shepherd. I’m trying to remember its name - it’s something like King, Prince, Tyson or Brutus but it’s not any of those!

Any ideas what it might be? I don’t know them well enough to ask before anyone suggests it, but having thought about this dog randomly I really need to remember its name!

Ooh - good idea but I don’t think so but it’s that sort of thing

It’s probably Roger, of course, but I’m sure it’s a Champ-like name

If it's a male dog: Schäfer.
If it's a female dog: Schäferin.

You did say it's a German Shepherd... Wink

Its pretty clear from the post that OP is referring to its name. Are you on the gin?!
RunningFromInsanity · 13/09/2020 19:48

They are always called Duke. Always

Grin Sounds like it could be a Maine Coon OP. They're quite 'doggy' cats, I hear.

I’d have remembered if Duke was a Maine Coon : I’ve a very soppy one, quite doggy but not exactly a GSD

My Maine Coon may be responsible for breaking up one of our pigeon couples (by scoffing one of them) so he’s in a degree of disgrace. It might have been a fox though so semi disgrace

Is it sad that I’m so pleased to have solved the mystery?

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 13/09/2020 20:08

Well I'm no cat expert, but in the cartoons you can tell it's them because they have a little bitty feather at the corner of their mouth.

I hope you’re punching the air! And I’m very grateful as I’d be awake at 3am going through Tyson-like names! This happened to me once about 40 years ago when trying to remember the name of an acquaintance who allegedly had shagged a then and now well known rock star. I can still remember her name!
