jayfoxing 19 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 One of my hounds Marion, has just given birth to 1 dog and 2 bitch puppies. Just after a few name ideas from you all. Many thanks, Jay. Quote Link to post
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 A hound man I know and hunt with names his pups in alphabetical order each year...One year was W and there are all called Willow, Warlock, Witch, etc, etc. Maybe start your naming after her name...Merlin, Magic, Merlot etc...And go with the alphabet 1 Quote Link to post
perthshire keeper 1,237 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would go with letters beginning with N as the dam is M so Nell Nimrod Nomad ect houndy names. my old hounds were called bowser,rambler and nell lol Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,253 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 In France we are using the same letter for naming hounds. G for 2011, H for 2012, I for 2013... Some letters aren't used. And you can hear some strange conversations concerning dogs : "I have a lot of B in my pack, a few V, the G not too bad start and I think add a pair of H in the fall." Quote Link to post
stando 177 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hound pup's should start with the first letter of the dam's name 4 Quote Link to post
jayfoxing 19 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks guys. I was thinking of the 'M' path and got: Marshal Mitchell Munro Money Mountain Magic Mischief Music Melody Merry Moonlight Madam Miracle Merlin Mervyn Maverick Mayhem Morning Marilyn Marine And then I thought, do I brake tradition because I like: Holly Hiccup Guesswork Rector Gunner Archer Princess Sherlock Watson Lapwing Lorna Truman Reaper Domino Dancer Quote Link to post

jayfoxing 19 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Gonetoearth, She was put to a smallish fell hound called Ranter, he has endless stamina and a nose that is hard to beat. Choose this because the couple of welsh I have are very heavy and wanted to lighten them up and put them over some lighter Welsh lines in a few years. I love the welsh hounds, they are my favourite. I like the idea of Welsh names for Welsh hounds, it wondering whether to brake tradition and stray from the letter M that I'm having trouble with. All the best, Jay. Quote Link to post
