September 10, 2009: So, the question is where do the names Bó and Brí come from? Well, breeders usually decide on the first letter of the dog's registered name. Some breeders like to use the same letter as the mother's name. Carla Zayac, who bred the puppies, runs through the alphabet with each successive litter. Being her second Irish Wolfhound litter, the names begin with the letter B–their kennel names, which are registered with the American Kennel Club, begin with the letter B. A dog's call name could differ from the kennel name and often does for show dogs. The call names for the dogs are Bó and Brí. Bó will always wear a black collar, lead, etc. while Brí will sport pink. I'll post pictures of the pair in this area of the website. Bó is pronounced like the French word beau, while the word Brí sounds like Brie, the cheese. Their kennel or registered names are Buachaill Bó and Bríste Crón. Each of the two names comes from the Irish Language or Gaelic. Bó's name, Buachaill Bó, translates as "cowboy" in English. Brí's kennel name, Bríste Crón, translates as "dark pants" or "dark trousers." Each of them is a brindle color right now; however, Brí is slightly darker. I expect Bó to be a light-colored brindle when he's an adult.
