General laboratory names…

These common names were chosen and suggested because we thought they would sound good in a laboratory. We didn’t feel that a dog name would suit this particular breed.

Cassidy: This name has a friendly, relaxed sound and seems to fit well with this breed’s temperament.

Jazz: a soft and cool sounding name that might appeal to a music-loving owner.

Ricochet: It’s everywhere for the lab!
