We've done a re-do on Callie's name. I still think it's a cute name but too many people said "Callie the collie"? Plus, it turned out David didn't like it! (he should have said something sooner) At the shows this past week-end, everyone put their heads together to come up with just the right name. Ellen is excellent at names and suggested "Gemma". Perfect! Emma is a favorite name of mine, plus this variation reflects the gem/jewel/treasure theme for the litter. Gemma will be Hillcroft Gemstone.
Ellen was on a roll and came up with the registered name for Treasure, the rough girl we are keeping--Hillcroft Hidden Treasure. She then cleverly came up with names for the remaining two puppies, who we are keeping until show homes arrive. The girl will be Hillcroft Bejeweled (Bijou) and the boy will reflect his father's name, Hillcroft Play By the Rules (Ref).
Gemma went to the show with us on Saturday and got lots of practice with her new name. She enjoyed the atmosphere at the show, was intrigued by the activity in the Group ring and quickly learned that hands often produce treats!
