The first question to answer when bringing a newly acquired dog into the home is: �What shall we call him�or her?� This delightful little book offers guidelines and suggestions to help pet owners come up with the perfect answer. For instance, what is the canine�s type and character? (It would be plain silly, for example, to name a Great Dane Fluffy; or to call a male canine of any breed, Brenda.) But you might want to make a fashion statement, or say something about yourself when you name that pooch. (For instance, a music lover might bless his puppy with a name like Beethoven or Vivaldi.) Perhaps the author�s wisest suggestion is to hold a family conference, simply to make certain that everybody�including the dog�is comfortable with the new name. Here, in any event, are 1000 ideas for naming that puppy. They�re listed alphabetically, and enhanced with dozens of endearing color photos.
