The puppies have been given temporary names as I find it too hard to associate them with just their markings. It all started when my son, Jeff, decided on a powerful name for one of the boys that he has got a bit attached to - Maximus. Below here are the markings and names that they have been given: Male, tip of tail, Xerxes - was a Persian God of Gods (named by Peter). Male, base of tail, Spartacus - Greek, lovely name. Female, neck, Trinity - from the film Matrix (named by Rob) Male, middle of back - Thumper - another of the biggest boys seen to be "thumping" when he's feeding (named by a friend) Female, base of tail - Flotsam - is most often seen aimlessly floating round the whelping box in the wrong direction, hence Flotsam. Male, neck - Maximus - one of the bigger boys, needed a powerful name (according to Jeff). Female, tip of tail - Tiny - the smallest and last puppy. Click on photos to enlarge.
