Long time dream coming true

[Missy]

I am so excited. I am picking up my Bloodhound puppy next week. I have been a EMT for years and have assisted in off time in search and rescue. I have wanted a search dog for years and I am so excited to finally get my dream search dog. We do not have any search dogs in our area and have to call for dogs when needed and some travel some distance to help. Now in a couple years hopefully we will have a fully trained search dog. Back in December an elderly man went missing and was found dead several days later. If we could have had a dog out there maybe the outcome would have been a happy one. We are trying to come up with a name and thinking about ElliMae but would love some good southern name suggestions.

Happens to be one of my favorite breed of dog.

How about Percy, very old southern name

Ooops ...just realized the name example you gave means you are likely getting a female....

Marla for female ....?

Beautiful. I love their howl/bark. They are one of my faves. I love any dog with wrinkles and extra skin. I used to breed and show Shar-Pei . I love the name, I think you should keep it. Otherwise I like Southern Bell, Bell for short, or Petunia.
CONGRATS.

Bayyard is the name of the bloodhound in Alice in Wonderland. I'm not from the US so don't know if that sounds Southern enough, but it is a bit like Bayou...

You certainly have your work cut out for you. I tried tracking once with a Springer. All I can say is it is interesting. I am glad your working on your dreams.
