You kind people gave me the idea for a kennel name a little while ago (Gift of the Gab). Mum is called Gaby. We have now chosen the pup but still cannot decide on a pet name. She is a liver/white *****  Her markings are almost as if she is wearing a liver jacket or saddle which goes almost have way down her back.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Where I grew up in Cumbria there is a fell called 'Blencathra' but the locals call it 'Saddleback' (as this is how it looks when viewed from the east)

Blencathra's a bit of a mouthful though isnt it?? sorry!
and shortening it to 'cathra' sound a bit like 'catheter'
Im no help at all am I??? :D

Cadeau? (kad-o, French for gift) - bit poncy in spelling, but easy enough to say.

Sattel is German for saddle (if babelfish is right)

will hunt through some name sites and try to be clever now..

    How about Dadels from saddle! just an idea.:rolleyes:
      

Isn't there a chance that the markings will change though? 

Sadie - not saddle I know but uses similar letters.

No the solid liver will stay though  the ticking may darken slightly. She is a bit like 'Cookies and Cream' so have thought of names like Coco. Cookie, Oreo, Kona, Mocca, Truffle. I just cant decide

I'm sure HG will be able to help you with lots of chocolate related names if that is another theme you are considering. I know a Rottweiler pup called Moccha and a cocker called Ripple. :)

"Sattel" is German for saddle according to my dictionary, but it's not very inspiring. "Geschenk" is a gift. In mountaineering an 'arete' is a ridge (sort of saddleish :) ). "Parcel" is a sort of gift. Or on the food theme "Icing" (like icing sugar dusted on chocolate) or "Dumpling" (like dumplings and stew). Or if you fancy Scots Gaelic I can ask my granny if she knows the translation for saddle. Any help?
