Why did you name your dog as such?

Most of the time, we sit down and chat until we come up with a name (myself and the dog in question). Most recently, though, I knew going in what I wanted their names to be. The last one was named for the daughter of a friend. What's funny is how much they are alike in character.

I have chatted about several names as well with my fiancee. We just know when the right name pops in to our heads.

Dandy's mother is a teeny (27lbs) purebred border collie. Now, either his father is the overlarge (about 60lbs) purebred male bordie that also lives on the farm and Dandy and his sister are throwbacks; or else a tall, dark, and clearly handsome stranger climbed in the window one night with a rose between his teeth. out of a litter of 11 (!), 9 were teeny-tiny perfect little black-and-white border collies and then there was Dandy and the only female, three times the size of the others and looking like 2 crows in the nest.

who cares.

he was a nippy little sod when i got him as a rescue - the Feet Thing - so i named him "Dandelion", which is from the French "Dent de Lion", meaning "Lion's Tooth". Dandy is perfect for him, what with his trout-spotted tuxedo markings and his "i'm all that and a bag of cow chips" attitude.

The minute I saw her, the first thing I noticed was her large black eyes that looked just like buttons against her snowy coat. It's perfect for her.
