When I bought her, I was so ignorant I had no idea but that was what the breeder wanted. I could ask the breeder why, I guess . . . but she had a typed up list of names, and the pups that were already sold had names crossed off the list.

I think Brown Bombshell actually fits her pretty well, because she is a looker and she's full of energy - certainly better than Lady Godiva (she's no lady, even though she has no clothes on), and Chocolate Cheese is just right out . . .

In the South, at least, it used to be traditional for hunting dogs to have classical (Greek or Latin) names. I don't think the tradition is followed any more, a lot of them seem to have rednecky/ country music sort of names now. Just got my Hunting Retriever News with the report on the Grand, and one of the winning dogs was somebody-or-other's That Thang's Got a Hemi. Made me laugh.

I've seen some good show names and bad... Logan's was just bad... It had "Luscious" in it.

I'll say no more :~D
