    Meg or Mia
    A short sharp name. Has the same effect as shouting ‘Oi’ and stopping them in their tracks

    Yep, most sheep farmers go with one syllable names, and no harsh sounds because they are harder to yell all day.
    Though I suppose it's more important that a bad dogs name is easier to yell, because you will be yelling it more often...

    Taxi!
    It’s black and brings you things as in black cab. Doesn’t really have a feminine ring to it though. How about.....
    Oprah
    Winnie....as in winnie the poo...no not that one in the beehive
    Nandi...was Shaka Zulu mother or Dingane his wife shortened to...
    Ding
    Now that’s got a nice ring to it. Also you can use it softly and harshly when and as needed.

    If it nods its head a lot when barking and smiles often as well you could call it "Jacinda" I suppose

    I don't remember Winnie being a Black Bear in the illustrations - AA Milne named Winnie after a teddy owned by his son Christopher robin Milne and that teddy was the standard golden colour. I do remember Pooh being a reasonable shot though !

    I prefer a dogs name to have two syllables and to have a unique sound that wont be confused by the dog with other words - 'Coffee' could be a problematic name whereas 'Tulip' (black) would be seldom confused

    problem is it would run around in circles and accomplish nothing except wasting energy. it would also have to go communicate with dogs of minority breeds and establish a pack committee while dining out on the best food possible.
    this would be followed by your dog going absent and coming back pregnant and doing nothing for 3 months

    Our bitch is called Poppy, like the noise a gun makes and the flower association with military guns going quiet. Yeah right
