Our rescue dog was called Fifi !! Quickly renamed Pheobe.
LLLLOL
My neighbours have a sort of Yorkie - GREAT fun, as I am 99% sure he isn't pure. He is called Bear. They are thinking of getting something like a Rotti or Dob' and calling it Fifi!!!

Indeed. Patterdales are all colours and shapes; up here in The Lakes they're generally called Lakeland or Fell terriers.LLLLOL
Patterdales aren't really a breed, as such, they were a reasonably uniform bunch of terriers bred by Brian Plummer for ratting.

When I was a nipper we had a black poodle (in theory it was my sister’s dog, but she was remarkably unavailable whenever it was time for the dog’s walk). I’d better not say what my parents chose to call it.That should be a criminal offence. In the good ‘ol days dogs like that were given proper names like Rebel and Gnasher!
But LUNA is such a great name! (It was on the shortlist for our new kitten, who eventually ended up with a pedigree name of Giradelle Coralee, so she is now Cora)
Anyway “Old” George is about to become “Rushed off his feet” George.
Enjoy!
Wow, what a great canine family tree!Dear Dimitry,
I have found out that you can imprint a new name on a young dog. I intend to move from LUNA to FLIRTY by degrees. Of course the Flirty name comes from a sheepdog, which lived longer than my Grandfather, George Henry Johnson, who fought and was seriously wounded [out of action for the rest of WWI] and went home to Herefordshire to be a successful farmer. When my grandfather died, Flirty went to my Uncle Ivor, but she retired from working!!!
But she had a fresh litter of pups every year, and was the common grandmother of my Fred, mentioned above. Flirty was the grand-daughter of my grandfather's first sheepdog called Pete. Sadly the line died out ...
My best wishes from George

Just took Lunatic to the park after the tennis, she was absolutely mad crazy to go out. In the park took off her lead as I always do and she ran in 100 yards then turned on her heals and ran all the way home. Nearly had a heart attack trying to keep up with her and just spent 40 minutes trying to get her in the house whilst she ran over everyone's gardens setting all my neighbours Ring door bells off! Thankfully no cars came along.
I've gone to the pub in disgust for a cleansing
