Best in Show

Fido, Spot or Rover are mere nicknames for show dogs. This site explains the long show dog names, most popular names, and CNN's Jeanne Moos reports.

Popular dog names: Maggie, Buddy, Tasha, Chelsea (or Chelsie), Holly and Shasta. Other very popular names are Brandy, Ginger and Taffy. I hereby serve notice that i will smack anyone I know who names their dog any of those names except Buddy.

I guess you'll be slapping Bill Clinton then, he named both his dogs Chelsea and Buddy. Zing!

Present family members: Khyber and Oliver "Ollie" Twist the golden retrievers, Cleopatra the boxer, and PK (Pissy Kitty) the black cat. Oh, and I sometimes dog-sit Seiji, another retriever, and Tobi, an adorable pit bull. And my friend owns a dignified, graying black hound named Barnabus. Dearly departed: Sputnik the muttnik, Mickey the english setter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the malamute, and Boomerang "Boola Boola Hey" the golden retriever. On preview: yep, time to rent "Best in Show" again!

I caught some of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on TV last night, mostly to see my puppy's breed - Chow. Damned if the Chow didn't F@#* it up and not walk around right. That explains why we stink so bad in dog school. If a professional and a dog with six names can't do it, how are we supposed to learn in eight weeks? I feel better about me, and my great pup, Masha (name not on list). Best In Show rocks. IMHO, Waiting For Guffman rocks harder.

If i ever have a show dog, I'm gonna name it Grand Champion Goo-Goo Marmoset Gimme A Prize. I've known this for awhile.

Other very popular names are Brandy, Ginger and Taffy. For show dogs or strippers?

Rainbaby: You forget to get the kennel name in there. Ideally it would be "Ch. Rainbaby's Goo-Goo Marmoset Gimme-A-Prize." Me, I'm gonna open Oswald Cobblepot Kennels and then name dogs after body parts or ailments, so soon you'll turn on the tv to see a dog with the caption reading "Oswald Cobblepot's Hairy Ass" or "Oswald Cobblepot's Pendulous Wang" or maybe "Oswald Cobblepot's Phlegm-filled Sinuses."
