Today whist out for a walk...a dog owner was yelling for her dog in the park. At speed a Jack Russell called....Shackleton...comes flying out of some bushes.

Big name, small dog! IMO Brilliant Grin

My Glaswegian uncle used to have a dog called Dopey. He used to get into no end of trouble calling it in the park.

I had a dog called Shackleton (after the explorer of course) when I was a child, many years ago and passed on now sadly. It was a black lab though, slightly bigger! My dad chose the name. Must admit thought it was pretty unique for a dog.

I knew a rottie called Lulu, she thought she was a lapdog too and would sidle up to people in the vets and try to sit on their laps.

Satan - for a soppy black lab

but best of all - Ron - for a gorgeous staffie

Ron came from the east end so he may have had a brother Reg for all I know.

naughtaless · 22/08/2011 21:50

Miacis - how long ago did you meet Satan. My Gran had a soppy black lab called Satan! Shock

Our west/yeti cross is called Mackintosh, after PG Wodehouse.
We had the name before we had the dog.
She suits it.

Two yellow labs called Edward (after my dad) and Percy Bonepart.

Cats called Beryl (coz she's feral) and James. Deceased cat called Floyd.

Hens called Danni (sister Kylie died sadly) and Barbara, also Miriam (as in Stoppard - but in this case Miriam Stopout cause she is always last to go to bed).

DS' Polish friend had a beautiful black newfoundland who, we thought, was called Serious. It took us ages to realise he was in fact called Sirius. Great name.

Once found a lost dog tag with the name Womack on it. I imagined Womack to be a big shaggy hairy boy but who knows!

The landlord at our local calls his lab Barclay, which I love.

And a friend calls her staffie Valentina which is nice.

Another calls her two Benson and Hedges.

We have a cock called Sid and one of his girls is Nancy.
