We started to use catch phrases Crack O Dawn, Wait and See, Pay Back and Guess who but he was a wee bit different from the others as it was what Grant said to Lisa on Eastenders. The one when we found out who shot him. Just now we have a blue pup and dont know what his racing name will be.

Carbolic reminds me of one of the racing names in Freeman Lloyds "The Whippet and Race Dog" (published in 1894) which was Bucolic. There are about 1500 names 'suitable for Whippets' seperated into dogs and bitches. I'll post just a few.
Carbine
Despoiler
Emulation
Plumber
Necromancer
Tabby
Typewriter
The list goes on.
The book has recently been re-published and is available from Amazon The Whippet and Race Dog. It makes a very interesting read and is well worth the £10.50.
Some of the Chapters are (in the first edition anyway)
We used to try and add a part of the dams or sire's racing name to the puppys racing name, but of late we have waited untill the pup has shown its character and named it accordingly..
hi i try to name all my dogs with jack in the name with us owning jack,s back jack one, jack two named as one has one and the other has two hen,s the names i try to name cass ,jack three but michelle would not let me so we got show three
Just got the new edition of Freeman Lloyds book 'The Whippet or Race-Dog' and was dissapointed to find the chapter 'Suitable names for Whippets' is missing.
This book is a reprint of the 1904 edition not the original 1894 edition. Anyway it's still a good read and good value at £10.50 from Amazon UK
If anyone should want the list of suitable names I'll see if I can copy them from the original.
