Pedigree Dog name

dellytots

Hi

I've booked a miniature dachshund puppy that I wish to show. The breeder has said we can name him on his papers. Any tips on how to choose a show name?
I've never had a pedigree dog before pet names take ages to come up with in this house so it'll be the same for this little boy.

What's the breeders prefix? Have you anything you like? Music, films etc? Could be anything.

What a sweetheart.

According to Blog about Clonakilty Black Pudding, Ispini is the Irish for 'sausage'. He's adorable, and black. That'd make me think of D(h)ubh, with or without the putóg before.

Do you know the parents reg names? You could mix a little of both or take something from them .

The daddy is "Moscow never sleeps" mammy Pet name is Roxy I can find out her full title.

Something Irish would be good alright

Bear in mind that unless you're showing or breeding it's of relatively little significance. My dog's IKC name was "his-birth-townland Pride" but he answered to something else entirely.

Superb name!

How about Ispini Faigh iad (Sausages Fetch Them), Ispini Le do Thoil (Sausages Please) or Ispini Gan an Iomarca (sausages not too many)?

Edited to add: Your pup is beyond adorable, by the way

I remember we had an irish book in school called Ispini agus Súbh :P

Sausages and jam? Sounds weird to me, although hubby has grown fond of boxty with marmalade, so probably wouldn't be much of a stretch to add sasages to that :rolleyes: Wouldn't be for me, but each to their own!

I like "Ispini Black and Tan", relative to Ireland & descriptive to both the dog & sausages

That's the one im going with thanks for all your help!

My sister had suggested ispini beag but adding gleiote just makes it!

Excellent choice

Should it be "gleoite" with o before i?

I love the look of the little fella, and love all the suggestions, But please insist that people call him a Dachshund (with a hard ch) not a dash- hound. I'm sick of the look of bewilderment when I try to pronounce it right and Irish people (big horsey women) say "YES, DASH-hound!".

Yes it should be - blame my phone

How do you pronounce gleoite?

I'm trying to come up with how to spell it phonetically... Glow-cheh is the closest I can think of right now!

ABajaninCork

Aww, he's so CUTE!! Mind you - I've yet to see a puppy I've not fallen in love with! And I ADORE his KC name - such an original choice. Well done, whoever suggested it!

Whispered

I think it's a brilliant name!

Spot on...I thiiiiiink

Gleoite as Gaeilge

Also I am guilty of saying "Dash hund" rather than "Dax hund"

Good luck with your little puppy dellytots. We'll all keep an eye on Crufts in a few years for Ispini Beag Gleoite!
