New Member of the Jones'

We've been wanted a new addition to the family for some time, but something has always come up, but we found a breeder close to us in France and we couldn't help but stopping by to see her.

They had 5 pups born on Monday, which would be ready for Nov 15th, or a single pup litter ready in a couple of weeks, but then they had ours. She's 11 months old, so not really a puppy any more, but adorable. The breeder took her in from the other pedigree kennel she uses and a friend of hers, but she now has the maximum number of dogs you're allowed as a breeder to keep to breed.

She's got a lovely nature, friendly as anything with the kids and loves a sleep.

Only downside is that she speaks French currently, and likes cheese. What have they done to her!?

We are now thinking of names... we like Lola or Hattie, but in true how wrong could this go fashion. Think away GD...

I introduce you to... [insert name here]

Equipped with a fluffy pink collar, Bernadette would look lovely.

- Just read the 'she speaks french' bit. Clever dog

Not sure if you're aware, but in France years are associated with letters for calling dogs. 2013 is the letter "I". So you need to find a name beginning with the letter "I". They've eliminated the letters: K,Q,W,X,Y,Z. Next year will be J.

Ah! I didn't know that FF!

She was born last September, so 2012 would make her an H dog?

Loving some of the name suggestion on that site my favourites are: Haddock and Haribo.

Or Hotel?! An interesting mix of names in that list!

When choosing a dogs name its important to pick one that wont make you sound like a complete tool when calling her back to you in public.

Haha this is pretty much how I decide yes or no to names. Call them out in your head!

Yup H

It's not the law, it's just a tradition, and it's rather cute - and it sparks off a conversation as people will have an idea of how old your dog is

randomshenans · 13 Sep 2013 at 08:58

Yea, it's a nice tradition. I think Hattie is winning right now. It's English and fitting for her.

I'll obviously have to get the sign off mind, which will change it all
