As I read your Web pages from Finland, Europe I'm slightly behind the current fads in dog names...but my little black spitz dog's name is Eppu which translates to Linus (the furry-haired friend of Charlie Brown`s in Peanuts). And the official European breed of my Linus is called German Middle Spitz, quite the same as American Eskimo Dog but with a rainbow of coat colors to choose from.

Hello MyshkaM,

I didn't see Erkenbrand or Hammerpaw in the registration data provided by the government, but I did find a couple Dernhelms. They should now be on our list here if you refresh the page. Thanks for pointing it out. Your LOTR knowledge is impressive!

We own Dernhelm & Erkenbrand, both Lord of the Rings names. Helm Hammerpaw (also a LOTR name) has passed on.

I have three dachshunds. My girl is named Chilidog, her mothers name is Corndog. My boys are named Porkchop and T-Bone.
