We chose this name because it meansa small midget!! Our dog is a puggle.
I named my toy poodle Nerd because of the way he looked when we adopted him. He was scrawny, had a strange haircut and would walk towards my husband and I with his rear end curved around almost to his head.
We love the Hawaiian islands and wanted to give our new cocker spaniel puppy a Hawaiian name. She has as much energy as a pot of Kona coffee!!
Dernhelm is named after a character in Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." Dernhelm is the name Lady Eowyn assumes when she rides into battle disguised as a Rider of Rohan.
Because she always has the last word
What, there wasn't a dog named Holovaty?
A dignified name for a beagle with an old man face but a young heart! Should be O'Henry 'cause we say that alot!!
Got a new German Shepard puppy and was driving by a Napa Auto parts store and it hit me
We named our English mastiff Guiness because his coloring is like a Black and Tan
Our son, then 12, was a big Beavis & Butthead fan. The new puppy sometimes ran around in a frenzy, much like the cartoon character, Beavis, on a sugar high, thus the name Beavis.
