I'm Considering a Bloodhound and Might Need a Name....

[Hovannes]

Title edited for caps.

Bloodhounds are known as St Hubert's hounds, so if I get a bitch, the feminine version of Hubert would be a good fit, but, what is the feminine of Hubert?
internet searches lead me nowhere.
Any ideas? Hubertweena maybe?

Huberta? Hubertina? This question is better asked on here at night, when everyone's all liquored up. Then you'll get some good answers.

Here's my bloodhound. Her name is Georgia.

Be prepared. If you've never owned a bloodhound, they are NOT calm, sleepy hound dogs happy to curl up in front of the fire. They are not suited to life in a tiny apartment or a place where they can't get some exercise.

They are rambunctious idiots, full of slobber and they have no conception that they weigh 80-100 lbs. They will eat anything, they will tackle Grandma just for the chance to lick her face, they will do anything imaginable to get food. Everyone will stop to pet your bloodhound. They love to snuggle and drip drool all over everything you own. They will lick the skin off of your face. They are strong as oxen, and smell almost as bad. Their ears are always wet and slimey.

I love Georgia, but be aware what you're getting into! She's the sweetest, kindest and most loving (and loveable) dog I've ever owned, but she's a handful.

Sorry had to do it.

I thought all bloodhounds were named Blue. Isn't that a law somewhere?

How about just Berta.

The shorter the name, the easier it is for a dog to respond to it.

Herbi?

Let me know if you need more. It's a mania with me.

And my wife suggests Babe, Lady, or Lydia.

The feminine of Hubert might well be "Huberte", but only in French would that make sense, due to the silent t in the masculine form (Hubert), and it being pronounced in the feminine form (Huberte).
But if you pronounced it in the French manner, "Ooo-beart" you might have something true to the original concept and gender.
Please post photo and name decision!

Sherlock would be a great name for a pipe smoker's bloodhound.

Or maybe just “Saint”

I named my cat "Animal" (loosely referencing the Muppets) so if it were my dog I'd probably just call it "Bitch", but that's only if I were going to be the only person ever to interact with it (as is largely the case with my cat).

Ours (Ellie) just passed away in September after 11 years (pretty old for a bloodhound). They are the sweetest dogs on the planet (having owned many breeds) and are a ton of fun and absolutely adorable.

However, be prepared for cleaning off your windows, tv screens, clothes, face, furniture, etc of slobber regularly, extremely messy eating areas, rampant skin/ear/eye infections, the consumption of everything that smells even remotely like organic material to include blankets, shirts, socks, underwear, rugs, etc.

And when that nose turns on, the ears turn off, and they can disappear for long stretches refusing to come to a call. And unless bathed at least once a week they get very oily and stinky. A unique kind of stink that will be absorbed by wherever they lay.

They more than make up for it in love and sweetness though. The most gentle, kindhearted, fun loving dogs out there.

You just described every type of hound dog, this big goof included. Don't forget incessant chewing!

Adding such a bad touch to the thread.
