For example one was named Sultan’s Black Cloud Jubilation. It was a mouth full and I felt you might as well name one a sentence. I asked my dad if we could name our next colt Dougy’s Going To College! My dad said no. So when I grew up and got my own dog I came up with a cool sentence dog name, I Got Madd Skillz. She was a golden retriever, and she did have mad skills. :0)
