I must profess a fondness for Woofster.
However, I tend to the arty names as well:
Chaucer
P.D. or petey for short
Talis (for Thomas Talis)
Or you could go all Python on the guy:
Eric (he looks very Eric to me)
Cleese (good name for a dog Cleese)
Terry (he doesn’t much look like a Terry to me)
Or Arthurian:
Tristan
Arthur
Lancelot (Lance in the fields)
Or Shakesperian:
Willie
Macbeth
Henry
Prospero
Puck
Oberon (Obie)
Lysander
Falstaff
Just some choices – but I do like Woofster.
BTW He’s a handsome guy – and with property to run, he’ll be a happy guy.
A Llewellyn Setter is basically just a bloodline of English Setter. They are the field bred, if I remember correctly. Established by George Llewellyn… I think.
There is nothing more english than Wenslydale and Stilton and Cheshire and so forth. These names apply to cheese, but why not a dog as well? Well, maybe because:
StGermain: Come here Wensleydale! Come here boy!
Dog: Voff! Voff! (dogish meaning: oh my god, why did you not pick me a normal name like Rex. Now I am the the big goofball among the other dogs)
I wholeheartedly vote for Wooster or Mick, failing that.
PS- Classy lookin’ boy!
PapSett - I read about Llewellyn in my research about the breed, but didn’t think they were considered their own breed.
