I think we have found the rescue dog for us, he's a bedlington greyhound - so a scruffy/ shaggy lurcher.
We are trying to choose a "human" name but can't agree on one, all suggestions would be very welcome please.
So far we have
Robbie
Riley,
Dylan,
Lenny
Eddie

Worst thing we be done is to try to find a name that DC and DH & I all like - all the names have 3 out of four likes and one adamant no usually stroppy 11 yr old DD

How about Hamish? or Pip, Arthur or Fred.
My next dog will be called Dog. Although I'm warming to Dave as a standby.
