Collie pups **PICS** - 1 wk old today

[Spiritwind]

Thanks everyone!!! I just got new batteries for my camera so I may post more pictures of the babies later on this evening....

And of course ya'll know that I will need your help to come up with names (atleast call names!.. have some ideas for reg.names for some of them)... once they are a bit older. I have a call name idea for the "pick" male that I really like... but I'll be keeping that secret just a little longer... not good at coming up with names though, for the most part, so I'll need more help on call names later on LOL

As far as registered names go... The sire of my litter is CH Apple Valley Shades Of Blue - "Ben".

The litter Ben was in, were all named after Jazz Muscians because Ben's sire is CH Capella's Midnight Blues, HIC, ROM - "Memphis". In the litter along with Ben there was the only female named Lena (after Lena Horne), also in the litter was Louie, Fats, Nat etc.etc..etc..

I picked Shades Of Blue for Ben because shades of blue was the title of a CD of Ben E Kings....

Anyway..... Ben's sire Memphis is no longer alive.... Memphis was a GREAT dog and a wonderful producer and the biggest reason I got Ben.. because I wanted a show puppy sired by Memphis... Memphis was ranked as one of the top 10 smooths in the country for several years in a row, he achived his ROM and he won several AOM's different years at the collie nationals.

Anyway.. as far as registered names for these puppies I have been looking at naming them names having something to do with Memphis.... I've been looking up "Memphis Songs" online... and have a few ideas... while typically I like shorter registered names (Amy is Spiritwind Amaretto lol).... I like these song title name ideas I've found so far... some I like are...

Kennel name being "Spiritwind, which would be in front of the name

"Maybe It Was Memphis" - a country song by Pam Tillis
"Walking In Memphis" - I know most recently Lone Star did this song, but I cannot recall who did it originally...
"Back To Memphis"
"Memphis Blues" which might be good for one of the blue boys....

If anyone else has a good idea of names with the word Memphis in them... I'd love to get more suggestions!!!

I'll post more pictures later on this evening, but I just took these 2 pics and had to go ahead and post them now! I thought they were cute....

awww... thank you for more pics....

I was thinking about shades of blue theme... but Memphis theme is great as it has a bit more background story

how about Memphis Legacy....

Memphis Skies....

Memphis own Sapphire...

Steel in Memphis... (as in "still")

Azure me in Memphis

[Spiritwind]

Thanks for the name ideas!! I like those ideas!! Shades Of Blue theme could be cool too... but really like "Memphis Skies" that could be good for one of the blues as well!..

This is becoming too much for me to handle, these little guys (and gals) are too cute! I'm really falling for the two blue boys, they are SO precious.

Thanks! yes, I agree.. I LOVE Blues.. they are my favorite color in Collies!! These are the first blues I've had in a few yrs though!.. like I said in another post, I just love to sit and watch them... I could sit and watch them for hours...

I think Marc Cohn did "Walking In Memphis" first.

Chuck Berry wrote a song called "Memphis, Tennessee". That could be good for a girl that was called Marie.

Here is a link to a webpage with lots of songs with Memphis in the title.
