General Chat

Hi everyone, On Saturday I'm picking up a pup,a present for my daughter, and we are stuck for a name, & thought you guys on here might help? the pup is a she, and a cav. king charles, red except for one white paw, a white bib and white mark on her forehead, so far we've only come up with nutmeg, sienna, sunset, - you can see where this is going - a red theme!
also any advice you can give us as this is the first dog we've owned. We do have a 10 yr old cat, when and how do we introduce the pup to the cat.
Many thanks,

Have to go out now to pick up doggie bowls etc, back on here later.

Why not call her Red

I can't give you advice as i have never had a King Charles

Though i did have a collie & her name was Keela

Look at her pedigree chart if shes has one,,,there will be loads of names to choose from back to a 5xgran,}}}}}}


rub the cat with a towel and take it with you when you pick up the dog it wont be such a strange smell then.

Rose, known as Rosie, or Ruby perhaps?

How about Rosie
Tinto
scarlet
flame
Rusty

Shelly, my suggestion, keeping on the red theme, is Cherry. A clear, sound two syllable name, for easy command to a dog, and easy for a little girl.

Ginger, Ruby, Saffron

Shelley how lovely to have a new pup and King Charles are gorgeous.
How old is your daughter ? and how long to intend on having the animal before daughter gets hands on it?
I ask this because I think you will find no matter what you call it daughter will name it something different . Some lovely names coming in on the Red theme (I like tinto being a wine person lol)

Esta having had Cav already will probably give you the best advice about the breed, although I would have been tempted to say let the pup and cat meet straight away. They will get used to each other and cat will put pup in her place.

If she is coming straight from mum / litter and she cries at night use an old type clock (that has a tick) under her bedding, (it gives them the feel of a heart beat and lulls them )
Most of all enjoy her as a puppy and take lots of photos, worse than kids they grow so fast.

Joy where does Red come into them ...

mind on a different planet that I usually am when naming animals you can always call her Mars

I have 2 cavs and they both boys.

My friend called her one that was mainly red................SCARLETT.

they are still sweet names for a doggie xx


ok i give up how about

little red riding hood lol

How about ...LADY. I'm sure she will grow into a very elegant one !!

Rosetta ?.I am racking my brain lol

Joy I know they are sweet names but they ain't Red

Now mars is red // unknown to ,most humans... and perfect name for a red puppy

Well I am going from the red theme to a King Charles theme - have a choice of Nell or Gwyn! Remember Charles said on his deathbed 'let not poor Nellie starve'! Apart from ticking clock - hot water bottle under a blanket - she will miss the warmth of her siblings and mother and an old small cuddly toy.

Lady,after the beautiful red King Charles spaniel in 'Lady and the Tramp' :O)

Ask the breeder to put a blanket in with the mother for when you bring her home. It will help settle her into her new home as she will have mums scent with her.

My King Charles has the pedigree name Dark Black Knight, so my boys wanted to call him Batman!!!
Alfie suits him soooo much better , but he gets called all sorts of names, dooofus normally when he's being silly!!!
They are very clever dogs and very very quickly let you know who's dog they are, Alf is definatley mummys dog!! do not be misguided into thinking that just because they are small they cannot jump high, the stairgate is a pointless obstacle that just gets in our way, and in no way prevents the dog from getting out of the boot room!!!

Not a red theme but, ....

( as in KC for King Charles )
