Meet our new girl

[darin]

We haven't named her yet - our name, going in, was Eva (eve-uh). But, since seeing her, the name doesn't fit for us. Still deciding...We chose from a group of three. We watched them interact with one-another, and tried experiments such as leaving one in the pen alone with our backs turned from it. We ended up with the least-energy of the pups; I won't say low energy - but she's at least medium energy. While two of the pups were up yelping or seeking attention, our pup sat quietly gnawing at a rope or chew toy. Besides nearly getting a ticket for ENTIRELY too much cute transported across county lines, the trip went well. When we got home I took puppy to the place I want her to potty. After 10 minutes or so she started wandering around the yard. I snapped a few photos, below, of her romping. When I could see puppy getting tired, I had the kids walk to the house. I made sorta kissy sounds for the pup and whistled. She looked and I turned to walk towards the house. After 20 feet I turned to see her following. I moved to her, she stopped and headed back to the field. I whistled again, she turned. Stopped, started poopin. I clapped and cheered and praised her! When she was done, I knelt and she came bounding over to me. Bringing her inside we allowed our cats to observe her through closed glass doors. While puppy was napping on my laps the larger of our two cats visited me. He sniffed a couple times and that was that. So far, No drama at introduction. Good news indeed. A few minutes ago, my daughter was holding puppy on the couch. One of our cats walked in, sat about 5 feet away on an ottoman and napped. VERY encouraging.

Awesome .... beautiful eyes.


How about Bella, for beautiful?

[jimnyc]

Big blue eyes and big floppy ears! I want one!!

[ConHog]

Anyone who doesn't love puppies is a cold hearted sumbitch. Very cute pup Darin.

A cute name would be Moka. A play on mocha chocolate, she just looks like a mocha to me.

Sh'es adorable. Is that an Irish Setter, Vizla or Golden?

[darin]

Thanks. Vizsla :)

[Wind Song]

Thanks. Vizsla :)

Beautiful dogs, and much smarter than Irish Setters. When my old Irish was a pup she could have been twins with a vizsla pup we met.

Wouldn't take much to be smarter than an Irish Setter.

True enough. My dog was skunked and porcupined numerous times.

Honey.

what are the parents names? the whole breeding lineage names.

[darin]

I have the kennel names at home; i'll letcha know.

"Honey" is cute, like you. :D

Within our house 'Bindi' is trending high. Maizie (daisey, but with an M) and Sophie are also trending a bit.

[Gaffer]

Try using the various names with her and see how she responds.

[Mr. P]

I say give it a few days and she'll name herself. Know what I mean?

[Wind Song]

Taffy or Tasha

[darin]

Taffy or Tasha

Aoife.

[Wind Song]

Aoife.


How do you pronounce it?

[darin]

Aoife - Like "Eve-ah"...but a slight 'f' to the v.

Irish...derived from the Irish aoibh, meaning "beauty", "pleasure" or "radiant goddess"

[jimnyc]

I liked Bindi :(

Only cause I felt so sorry for Steve Irwin's daughter when he passed, and she was so cute and handled herself admirably.

Abbey, hon - we've named her. Annabelle was her name on day 3; we used it frequently.

Her name is Eva (eve-ah). Spelling is Gaelic: Aoife.

Oops, I wasn't on when this happened. How cool that you used Annabelle at all! I think that will be our next cat's name.

I first heard of the name Aiofe from one of the actresses on a British TV competition to cast one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's plays in London. In fact, she was the one I wanted to win the role.
So, good associations with the name.
:beer:

[darin]

FUCK YOU DARIN, now my whole family myself included wants a puppy!!!!!!

Vizsla, my friend. Vizsla. Simply the most-amazing breed I found in more than a year of research.


Keep in mind, as said on a vizsla forum i'm on: God took six days to create the world - yet it took him three years to train his Vizsla.

I'm VERY partial to my Danes, and I love Labs as well, but that is a gorgeous animal you have there. I hope she's every bit the dog you want. How does she seem energy wise? I love high energy dogs, but not nervous energy dogs.

[darin]

If I could read the mind of my puppy...I bet it'd transcribe like this:

"OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND! LETS RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS FOOD! THIS FOOD IS MY BEST FRIEND! LETS GO FOR A RUN NEXT!"

"OH MY GOD THIS WATER IS AMAZING! I WANT TO DRINK IT! LETS GO FOR A RUN!"

"OH MY GOD THIS BELLY RUB IS HEAVEN!! DO THAT FOREVER! LETS GO FO-Oh MY! Your LAP is VERY COMFY!! I WANT TO....R...U...zzzzzzzzzz--zzzzzzzzzz-----------zzzzzzzz"

(slight snoring).

[Mr. P]

Thanks for the video, DMP. I had never heard of the breed and have been wondering about it since your first post. The video answered all of my questions. :thumb:

PS. I prefer Golden Retrievers but the Visla seems like a really cool breed. Especially the smell thing..LOL

[Abbey Marie]

Look Darin - how adorable.

[darin]

awww :) Thank you Abbey :)

My sweet Aoife crossed into the next life, 9 November, at about 3:15p eastern. She was loved and adored by all who met and knew her; and she shall remain close to my thoughts and my heart always and forever.
