Bailey was initially called "Benson" by his breeder, because he was the colour of a packet of Benson and Hedges cigarettes, but when we saw him I thought he was more the colour of the drink. We don't smoke, but do occasionally enjoy Baileys, so we switched. Bailey also apparently likes Baileys, judjing by his reaction when he smells the drink. Don't worry though, he only gets to sniff - he's too young to partake, or at least that's what we tell him!
Our previous friend was a rough collie, and we had various names thrown into the hat by our daughter and son, the most memorable being "Blossom", to which my husband said "I'm not walking round the park shouting "Come here Blossom"! The breeder informed us that his KC name was "Cool Dude the Third", and that prompted "Casey".
