Growing up, we had "Freckles," a St. Bernard who had freckles a-plenty, on her nose and even on her puppy tummy!
The next dog in the family was the Great Dane mix Grace, so named because she had none! She would trip running across flat ground! The only unfortunate part of Gracie's name was that the teenager "Tracy" across the street didn't appeciate it much! That, and now any use of the word grace takes on a different meaning to me than to most. "Amazing Grace" anyone?
