name question
I have heard that you don't want your hunting dogs name beginning with the letter S. is there any truth to that?

The thought of some is that any word starting with s or o etc - command words- confuse the dog as they sound like sit, whoa etc..Some believe the dog only hears the initial sound.
I think it is valuable to name your dog with sounds that aren't "verbally swallowed" in the field, like words ending with
most consonants. Words ending in a long vowel carry the longest in the field.

Two syllable names can have a silent beginning- Ringo, Dexter, Rudy
