D Names

I’m sorry to be posting off topic again. But with a new puppy coming I just can’t seem to stay focused on anything else. So I’m going to embrace it, instead of fighting it and getting nothing done anyway.

If you are not familiar with how Guide Dogs for the Blind names their puppies, each litter is assigned a letter and all the puppies in that litter’s names start with that letter. We have been told that our puppy is from a litter assigned the letter D. Also they can only use names that are not in use by another puppy in training for Guide Dogs for the Blind, or one of their current breeder dogs or a working guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind. At any time they have about 3,000 dogs that have unique names. One of the traditions when waiting for a new puppy is to try to guess what name your puppy will have.

So I’ve compiled “D” name suggestions from friends and other puppy raisers and guide dog users I know, for our little yellow pup who is coming on Wednesday. I have a small prize for whoever guesses the right name. To enter, make new suggestions or vote for some of those already suggested. I’ll add new suggestions to the list as I get them.
