I'm getting a puppy!

How exciting!  I just got a new puppy myself, also a rare breed (Toy Manchester).  It's so much fun to watch him and Zoe play together and I too was worried about how spoiled little princess over here would react.  Oh, and the breeder I got him from has 22 dogs.  Not a big number at all, especially with small breeds.  Not only do they have smaller litters, but they take up less space and as already mentioned, you have to keep that limited gene pool as diversified as possible.  Good luck with your new pup!

 I scanned over the thread again to check and I didn't see.  Maybe you already figured it out, but the reason the board edits S*uka is that it means B**ch in Russian.

OMG, really??  I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  lol

I found the name on many different Eskimo/Inuit sites and they all said that it means "fast."

Is it considered offensive in Russian?  Because, I mean, b*tch is fitting, too, if it's a female dog. 

 LOL, I don't know if its offensive.  Since its sensored, I'm thinking possibly, but I mean, who's gonna know?  Her maybe?  LOL, my daughter's name, Kali, as it turns out is the Hindu Goddess of Destruction!  Now that is a fitting name!

Ofcourse you know this means you have to keep us posted with plenty of pics of her. ;)

My parents are Russian, so I'm almost fluent in the language.

S*uka definitly means b*tch in Russian when translated directly to English. Unfortunatly the actual meaning and way it's said in Russian is worse than the actual meaning. It is pretty offensive, and a common word too. Tons of people I've met throughout my life, who found out I have a Russian background said the only word they know is that lol...So some people you bump into might laugh about it.

 Your call really! Just giving you a heads up.

Today is the 1st, cant wait to hear how your flight went and which puppy you are bringing home!  Today is April Fool's Day, wondering if you will be able to resist bringing home  2 puppies, lol!
