ty - i wanted to name my first berner after the emperor tiberius. he came from an h litter, so we used hircus for his h name - latin for goat. was entirely appropriate, since he ate anything & was particularly fond of flowers. alpenrose hircus ti caesar.
dickens - a christmas puppy born on 19 december. he came to me with the name dickens & we registered him as alpenrose charles dickens. bark - we did figure that the little brown dog needed a long name too. so, based on his nickname that one of our friends gave him, he is formally shire bark-a-lounger. muffin - she came to us with the name raspberry & i really did intend to call her razzy (honest suzanne!). she was registered as alpenrose farms raspberry. she was from an r litter. zel - we had a theme of guys & babes with this litter since the sire was renegade & the dam, babe. since i got the only girl, i think we did get cut a little slack. she is neu-rodes wild thing & lives up to it every day. lisa baldwin (dickens, bark & zel) seattle, wa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
