Right guys you can all give a bit of input here.Getting a South African Boerboel in January,a bitch puppy,want to give it a good,female S.A. name or name of a place in S A .Have found it easy to think of dogs names,mandela being my fave,had thought of calling her Della but hubby poo-poohed the idea,any comments gratefully received,Sandra.

Not really SOUTH African, but Simba?

Also Biltong, Nelson or Winnie, Swazi, Pretoria, Bantu........

HI

I have just got new english springer (Nero). Before i got him i bought a book of dog names, it is very light and was only 10p. I have finished with it know so if you send your address to tomlinsontrfc@aol.com i will put it in the post to you. I has some scribbles inside but is still readable and has explanations/descriptions of names. i.e. Nero was so called after the tyrant who fiddled while Rome burned, perfect for my soft lump who will watch as someone nicks the video!!!

let me know, is no problem
