My next dog will likely be a Border Terrier from one of my mom's litters. I will have to show it, but that's okay -- I kind of enjoy doing the show thing as long as it's not OVERDONE!!! (Mother shows every weekend during the summer --- argh!!!) Mother would like any pups from litters she's had anything to do with to have 2 letter call names -- EV, KC, CC, etc., but I have to meet the animal first anymore. I named Lys 'Ellysium' before I met her and she's anything but!!! Now, she's Lysel the weasel most of the time. She's silly! But, I AM NOT DOING THE 2 LETTER CALL NAME THING!!! My niece just took one of the puppies Mother got for leasing her bitch to a friend for breeding and they named him ND Racer (Indy) and Mother wants to name a pup he sires PT (Petey) Cruiser. I'll probably go back to Mercedes Lackey's books and get a name from that or a mix of the parents' names or some such. The pup will tell me.
