Strange Names

As I mentioned in an earlier post, over the years the names of some of our dogs have left some people scratching their heads. They have ranged from the obscure to some that have a little "joke with a Jibe" behind them. I suppose the best known of them would have been the 95 English Derby winner Moaning Lad, he had the distinction of being named after yours truly! I have to admit that in my younger days I was a bit of a moaner when I was asked to do certain things, but the odd moan was justified in my opinion. Not many teenagers wanted to get up at 5.00am every morning or to be sent into the bitterly cold Atlantic Ocean on St Stephens Day to swim dogs in nothing but my swimming togs.

Looking through the litter mates and half brothers and sisters of Moaning Lad there was some real crackers of names. Some are listed beneath and even typing them here brings a smile to my face as I remember some of the stories behind the names, some couldnt be retold for fear of legal action!
