Why did you name your dog as such?

[fancy pants]

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

What type of dog have you got.??xx

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.
