I was given a young short hair Border Collie bitch from very good cattle working lines. She is a tough little thing, quite vocal with a tendancy to want to scrap with other dogs and a ton of force on stock and very intense, with eye, but not at all sticky. She does not mind a good chew if they dont move enough either. She knows how to hold sheep together as well but getting her to stop wool classing may be a challenge.
I am absolutely,completely hopeless at naming anything, as a kid I had a dog named Doggy, a cat called Pussy, and a pet rat called ratsy.
OK, so I need help...
I just realised now I come to start working with her that the name she came with, and that I have called her for months, has the same vowel sounds as the vocal commands I will use at a distance (and I cant whistle loud).
I need a name that has as few sylables as possible.
I need to keep away from "A" and "E" (as in "back" "here" and "stay" and "sit" "steady")
"U" sounds are good,
"Oo" or O sounds could work too.
Thanks for your ideas
