AW how beautiful is this new puppy. Thanks for posting.
 
Like a blank canvas, you can paint your own pattern on her😁😁
She's actually not completely white, she has some cream round her eyes and cream ears with some 'freckles' coming through on her snout but they don't photograph very well, oh and a lovely mottled nose that will likely change colour during the year as one of our previous dog's nose did, sometimes it was really brown, other times it turned pink and often mottled ... really weird! Will have to keep an eye on her as she's quite thin coated so don't want her to get cold or sunburnt.

This was her having a cuddle last night and you can see the cream markings (even though they look more 'tan' in this photo).

That dog looks to be a bit of a character. Beautiful
I'm sure she's gonna be. 😀 She's quiet, and I mean really quiet, hardly makes a noise, just the odd little squeak, I've heard her have one bark and that's it. She's not deaf nor dumb but is just a very quiet dog (for now at least) ... makes a change from our Minky who barks when she wants to 'encourage' dogs to play with her, hopefully we'll end up with both somewhere in the middle of the decibel scale! :LOL:

We're trying to think of names as she's been called Tilly which is way too close to Lily so our other dogs react when we use that name which isn't a good thing. :cry: We have come up with several though, the obvious one is Mouse but hubby's not keen and she'll probably keep growing and end up like a gazelle anyway ... no I will NOT be calling her Bambi! :oops:

Other options are: Holly, Clover, Posey, Maisy, Daisy, Sorrel, Lupin, Lubie, Lexie, Luna, Lottie, Berry, Cherry, Molly and Pepper - hubby likes the latter and I do too but I think we might slip up and say Poppy as we used to have a dog called that so not sure. We've also come up with Shadow and Ninja as she creeps up on us without us even knowing she's there ... poor Minxy has jumped a few times when this little 'ghost' turned up next to her. :giggle:

I also like Coco, short for Coconut not Cocaine! ::bigsmile:

Anyone else got any suggestions for a sensible name?

How's about Sex then if she runs off you can ask ig anyone has seen Sex. Or you can just say your looking for Sex . Just a thought :wink:
 
She's very like my daughter's Chi Poodle cross who was called Minnie unfortunately no longer with us although Minnie had a we bit more hair.
 
That would be a Jackaroo ! 😄

John.
The name for a JR X Chi is apparently a 'jackhuahua' however I prefer a 'chisel' ... especially with her sharp teeth. 😊

I find doesn’t matter much what mine get christened, they get new “nicknames”, Dotty, (bully) is Dody, Bobbit, chunks, Daisy (avatar) is wooze, woozy, stinky, noodles, and Tallulah, (Italian) till bob, Tilly, tally. All come to all names.

pretty little thing there Minxy Use any of above, heheheh or Lottie, Poppin, Suki, our other dogs, Emma, Brie, Madison (mad bad) Madie, Misty, Pepper, Pops. Boots,

How gorgeous is that?!

When renaming dogs, I heard it was a good idea to change the name to something similar sounding, so a name ending with the Ee sound might work better? I like Lottie a lot.
 
I think she looks a little Minx, whatever you call her she is a cutie who is going to have a much loved life.
 
she is gorgeous and looks very loving. Hopefully you have chosen well and she will fit right in. 👍
 
Ours is same cross and referred to as a Jackchow phonetically at least. He was cute and quiet but one day decided to become a lion. He hasn’t changed his mind since lol.
 
Lovely looking pup, is she a rescue?
I like the sound of Coco, it’s got that nice hard C which makes a pup look when you call, dogs react better to a name with a hard consonant in the name!
 
I think she looks like a little lady so I would go with “Gracie”

Think you will need to start a voting poll 😁
 
Why dont you call her ‘Skippy’, or maybe ‘Sheila’ 🤠🦘
Don't think my Auntie Sheila would be too impressed! 😄

I met a dog called Edna I think it's a good name for a dog.
 
Are you going to dress her like this 😂View attachment 654238
Not a flaming chance!!!! :oops: I don't like those things as they hold the dogs upright and put pressure on their spines in a way that they weren't intended to have, for a very short period of time when really necessary they're okay I suppose but not for 'posing' which most owners seem to do.

I do still have some baby vests which will come in useful for when she has her op to prevent her fussing over the wound and the heat knickers I got for Minky as fortunately we haven't taken them to the Greyhound Rescue shop yet since having a clear out.
