J’ai bien reçu cet SMS du chiot d’un pote aujourd’hui :

Nul en ponctuation mais il se débrouille pour bien exprimer ce qui lui passe quand même, hein ?
French notes: You’ll find the names of some dog breeds below. (I have no idea how one pronounces chow-chow in French.) One of the delightful aspects of regulation in France: you can call your purebred dog (le chien de race) anything you want, but its registry name has to start with the official letter of that year. 2017 is N, so look for lots of registry names like Ninou, Nanette, or Nadine until fin décembre, and then lots of puppies named things like Olivier, Odette, or Ourson beginning January 1st… One of the delightful aspects of the language itself is the occasional presence of names for males and females of a given breed, but the only one that I know off the top of my head is levrette–no limite remarks necessary on that one, but I’d love to hear about others in the Comments section…

I hope when he grows up he will learn orthography, cause it’s unworthy of a French dog . I can’t find any other dog breed than the greyhound that has a different name for females but I’m not an expert . I wonder if you know the sexual meaning of “levrette” though . Pardon me if that’s what you implied with your “no limite remarks necessary”.

Phil may correct us but I believe the French pronunciation of ‘chow-chow’ is ‘sho-sho’. And the letter thing is why I have two dogs called Higgins and Humphrey! (2012 was an ‘H’ year).

I couldn’t tell you why, but I find the whole letter-of-the-year thing charming.

Yes, it’s oddly quirky and sweet the way these ridiculous rules have their charm. Although it can be exasperating to try and find names you like with certain letters. Wonder what will happen when we get to W?

It is the same for horses names, one letter for each year . I am pushing to introduce this system for girls too .

Millions of dogs named “Wapiti,” I’m guessing… Which, we must admit, has a hell of a lot of charm all on its own…

My dog is a cross but favours her Chihuahua father – ALL local children are conditioned to should ‘oh la la un chihuahua’ when they see her coming. I enjoy the attention 😉
