These have to be the worst recommendations I've ever seen. The methods might be ok but the sample of the end result by using those methods is ridiculous. Smart? Brawny? Brawny White? Snow White? Holy crap. I signed up for an account just to post about this. If your dog has two eyes and can see, name him "sight", if not, name him "No Sight". Very clever. And the link to the side that is called "dog baby names", someone might just want to call them "puppy names". I'm getting a new Dog Baby soon. Want to go look at dog babies? I could go on and on- but I must get going. Rescue a Golden Retriever rather than getting a pup- you won't be sorry.
