we've never had any requirments from our breeders, so we;ve always had fun with naming our pets. we used our last name for our great dane "Chaney's Graceful Shadow" et called her Gracie for short. Our boxer on the other hand is a brindle, so we went with "Camoflaged Trouble" or Cammie for short. we thought is was a cute play on words because Cammie's cute goofy face she gives us when she's caught doing something she knows she's not supposed to (like getting into the trash). Boxers can be a handful so the "Trouble" part of her name seemed sooo perfect lol.
