You know, I'm not a fan of black and tan, red and tan etc. But for some reason in Kelpies is just WORKS and I love the combination. Your puppy is adorable and I can not wait to hear SO MUCH about him.

I am excited too :D The colors should look striking with my other two as well. You will be overloaded with hearing about him!

Narrowed to: Rift, Lycan, Lucian, Soren

He's so cute!! I think I must be the only one that REALLY likes Bane (plus I'm late to this thread lol) but either that or Rift gets my vote.

I like all the names you just listed, although I can't see Lucian fitting a dog as drivey as a Kelpie. :) I like Rift the most out of your top four.

It's hard for me to tell from my phone. Is he black/tan or dark red/tan?

My parents are on their second Kelpie. Awesome dogs.

If you name him Lycan, then every time he wakes up from a nap you have to say "Rise of the Lycan!" or else you can't name him that. I think it's a law in most states.

He is red/tan.

That's fantastic! I took it as an excellent sign that the other two pups in his litter are going to repeat homes :)

:rofl1: :rofl1:

That seriously cracked me up! :D

Someone just suggested Fenrir on another site. Do I just do the name with the kennel name then? I usually do something more "fun"...ex: for Risk I was thinking Brokenstirrup's Risky Business. If I do Soren/Lycan/Lucian/Fenrir...do I just do the name as Brokenstirrup Soren? I'm just not 100% sold yet. Want to email her tonight if I can or tomorrow so need to decide!

I'd try to find a nice little saying that goes with their name. I'm also the type of person who prefers a registered name to be more "fun" (as you put it). I wasn't able to choose Cali's, which was a bummer for me.

And if you went with Lycan, you could follow what PWCorgi said and name him, "Brokenstrirrup Rise of the Lycan".. or something of the sort. :)

Yay, I was going to suggest Lycan, too. :D

I'm super stoked you're getting a Kelpie. Now we can have first hand experience from Border Collie owners, Koolie owners, and now Kelpie owners! Wohoo!

Omg what a beefy little puppy! He looks so proud and regal for a roly poly puppy... I love him. :) Dark red/tan is my favorite Kelpie color for sure.

Lycan is such a cool name. All of your dogs have amazing, unique names! Ahh I can't wait to watch him grow up & see pics of him playing with hilarious Eden. I love how you were just like, "I think I want a Kelpie", and got one 2 days later! You're gangsta. & Lycan is very lucky you chose him!
