Name That Dog

Got the idea from another blog to explain how the dogs got their names.
River seems reasonable for a Portuguese Water Dog. My short explanation - the kids named him for the nearest body of water; our property backs up to the Conestoga River. His registered name ( I like them to fit together)- Rockhill's River Valley Boy. We have used River Valley Homeschool Academy when we needed an official homeschool name.

Noche - Spanish for night,chosen because he is primarily black. Spanish because it's the langauge of Cuba, origin of Havanese. His registered name Bella Dulce's Starry Night ( he has some white markings) and there are other "stars" in his pedigree - Starborn Black Tie Affair ( Posh, love that call name) is his sire and NorthStar Bella Dulce Liliana ( Lilly, his dam).


My previous dogs - VicTerre's Shanagarry Girl "Shana" . Shanagarry was a castle in Ireland owned by William Penn's family - so perfect for an Irish Terrier from PA. Then Shangarry's Trailblazer "Blazer" was the first out of the whelping box, from our first litter and he had a white blaze on his chest ( not a preferred marking, but there it was). Pacific Poppy (I forget her kennel name at the moment)"Poppy" was born in California and she was a dark red.
