The Vizsla Newzsletter (Oct/Nov 97)
What's in a Name

Those of you who have special names for your dogs .... let us know how they acquired them. Some of the stories are worth sharing.

with thanks to Susan Mulley (Internet list) for this contribution. A number of people have written off the list commenting on my charming puppy's name - 'Riot'. Maybe you will all get a giggle if I tell you the full story. Riot began life as 'Gem' - a cute little vizsla girl. But then a couple of things intervened. Everyone who met her said "Boy, she's a riot, isn't she".....and....her daddy's name is CH Red Oak's Stormin Norman SH. Well, very quickly I rethought her name - and now she is Comynara Patriot Missile. Seemed appropriate to me.

Now 'Riot' has started a trend. My next planned litter is hopefully by CH Mucsar-N-Melto's Cruising DJ SH. My pick puppy from that litter will be named Comynara Cruising Chaos - 'Chaos' for short. In the future when I'm insane...oops, sorry.... lucky enough to keep a further puppy, it will be called Comynara Cry Havoc. Soo...then I'll have Riot, Chaos, and Havoc in my house....yep, that sounds like a house full of vizslas to me.

I'm a little stumped as to where to go from there. My eldest son has suggested 'War', 'Pestilence', 'Famine' and 'Plague'...but the four horsemen of the apocalypse don't quite have the right ring to them?..........
