ive just put my deposit on a red merle border collie...ive been waiting for one to come up for ages and he will eventually be my stud boy as i have 2 female collie x's and a b&w collie bitch also...i love the breed and can't wait to get him when he's ready in feb!!

i am going through names so any suggestions are welcome...its got to be either cute or unusuall???
so far on my list is

RODNEY or  PHEONIX...........

[Rosemary]

Please not Rodney. For collies, I think "proper" collie names are best. Jem, Skip, Keen.

[Helencus]

A collie has to be Shep surely???

[Greenerlife]

Dexter? 

Great name I think.  Two syllables, with two hard consonants - supposed to be good for training, although I can't vouch for that!

[robert waddell]

has to be spot

[doganjo]

he will eventually be my stud boy as i have 2 female collie x's

So are you going to be breeding mongrels then?  Aren't there enough good breeds in the world already?  There is a recession and pups are NOT selling well just now.

[Fleecewife]

Blue - because he's not 

[princesspiggy]

has to be spot

 
my philopeno friend had a dog called "batik" or something like that. it still meant spot in her language !! lol   

[princesspiggy]

reds a good name, u can surely holler that name if hes naughty!   
(im very original lol) 

[robert waddell]

if it is hollering  that you want why not call it  F F S  depends how bad it is

[garden cottage]

Gromit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jinglejoys]

I gad a dog called Fido once
   Don't forget to have all the tests and X-rays done before you think of using him and take a look at the local rescue kennels to see all the collies encarcerated in there before you make a descision.
   Also if thinking of a "cute" name don't forget they don't remain cute passed 6mnths so thats a long time to call your big bouncy collie "Fluff"!

[princesspiggy]

lol - our friends once had a dog called gromit and by complete coincidence, we had a cat called wallis!!

Deefer - my OH's mum had a cairn terrier and they couldnt decide what to call him, my OH jokingley said deefer it took his mum a little while to click but she loved it and so deefer it was !

[Rosemary]

Hm, Deefer's a bit passe now - everyone knows the joke.

How about Fleet, Tag, Cap, Sweep, Glen?

From the International Sheepdog Society
"The Society permits the use of only one, simple working name for a registered dog.  Working on the fields, perhaps with more than one dog, a shepherd will be able to cope with names such as "Ben", "Meg", "Cap" or "Moss".  But imagine trying to work with "Philip", "Flossie","Pretty Boy", etc.

We are quite happy to accept non-English language names.  The test is that the names should, ideally, be single-syllable."
