In naming a hunting dog, the important thing is choosing a name that is easy to scream and does not sound like some other command. 5 letters max, 3 is better and end in a hard consonant k, t, g, etc. Zak, Jet, Jack are all good. Sue will work in a pinch. Snookems or Puddles doesn't work.
Good Point.
I hunted grouse one day up here with a guy who had a runoff English Setter named "Lovely Lady" (his wife named her)
She bolted as soon as the leash was slipped and we spent the next two hours "lost dog hunting" instead of grouse hunting.
I will never forget that morning going through the woods with that guy plaintively wailing "Lovely Lady" , etc , etc endlessly.
