Great news! You can now change your SD interest in your profile from "curious" to "waiting"!

I'm so jealous! I want to be waiting too!  :biggrin:

thanks everyone!  I am just so excited!  They said once they know that the dog will work out for me and everything they will send me a picture of him/her and allow me to name it!

hee hee hee, I do like Roxie though!!

I just think some of the names that people give their pets are a bit strange at times.  I know we all have our personal preference, but Im sure as a professional puppy raiser or trainer that it gets hard to come up with so many names, and make them all good ones!!

The puppies from the SD program I got my first SD from (and am on the waiting list for a successor dog from) are named by donors who donate to the program.

Pebbles (my 1st SD) was named by the director's parents. In my graduating class, we had Chewie (named after Chewbacca), Vinny, Smokey, Grizzly, Tasha, Tinker, Zeus --fairly normal names --and then there was the poor dog whose name was Poohdini...

I am infamous for weird names.  Actually, Maigee (pronounced "May-gie" with a nasal "A") is a fairly normal name, especially since Maggie is one of the most common dog names.  The most unusual spelling of a name I've ever had was probably a rabbit named "Kijegeen" (Keegan).  I've had foreign names as well as having rabbits named "Dog" and "Cat" and cats named "Bunny" and "Dog."  We have a litter of kittens most summers, and give away most of the kittens, so they get stupid names because they are renamed by their new families.  Same thing with rabbits once I know who I'm selling and who I'm keeping.  The ones I'm selling for show get good names (since they have show names on their pedigrees).  Pets get silly names because they are always renamed anyway.  The ones I sell for meat are usually named One, Two, Three...etc. or names for meat like Pork, Beef, Chicken, etc.  Then there are my fish I have right now, named Olecranon (Ollie), Epicondyle (Connie), Trochlea (Leah), Coranoid (Cora), and Acromion (Mia).  All named after parts of the bones of the elbow and shoulder.

Just be glad I'm not naming your dog!  Of course, our previous dogs were named Buster, Katie, Zach, and Sparky.  Of course, I was too young to name them at that point in time :smile:

actually sali I like unique names like that (well most of them anyways) but the names that I dont like are some of the cutesy names, and I dont want to offend anyone here.....but snowball, or pickle, or names that are not really a name at all.  Like one friend of mine named her two dogs table-leg and pizza box!!  lol....come here table leg!  Like what in the world was he thinking?!?!?!?
