poodlefan Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 This is prompted by something Diva just asked me. She wanted to know if there was a collective noun for a group of Whippets. Above two (which would be a brace), I believe the correct collective noun for Whippets would be a Zoomie. :D For Poodles, it might be a Pogo as when you get a bunch together that's what seems to happen. What's the collective noun for your breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolassesLass Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Many Border Collies would be a "rush". The more you have together, the more they try and outdo each other and get wherever it is, first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I suggest a blue of kerries. And a madcap of wheatens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlemum Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I like a "pogo" of Poodles - also a "Chutzpah" of Poodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The collective noun for a group of Labradors would be a "party". Not only due to their life is a party attitude, but a lot of them are kegs on legs Can't have a party without a couple of kegs apparently!!

poodlefan Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Some other suggestions. Of course not being in these breeds, it may require correction. A slobber of Bull Mastiffs A grace of Borzoi A puff of Pomeranians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 This is easy for Tibetan Spaniels. They've already been called this, with much love. An attitude of Tibbies. Because high on their list of rules to live by are: 'And the point of this, is...?' 'What's in this for me?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, tibbies have hare-feet like the sighthounds. Maybe there's a link somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvus Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 You started the exact thread I was going to start last week! I love collective nouns. I started calling a collection of Vallhunds a brace of Vallhunds for some reason. It seemed to suit. I brace myself as they pour across the ground towards me. I never came up with one for Lapphunds. I was idly thinking a diplomacy of Lapphunds, but maybe it's just my Lapphund that's so diplomatic. I think there's an argument for a welcome of Lapphunds. They are very friendly.
