Its a LOT of nicknames lmao but at the end of the day It is just word vomit im not even kidding. 💀 I used it as a replacement name for a wolf looking dog in a Daydream and it stuck for all of the times I thought of my future dog.

"Bon bon" candy in French, "blondy" the blonde fur, "blaw" blaw blaw as in making fun of a howling dog. (They fit so well for blawnit it was a name set in stone for her)

Also recently found out it is a different spelling of an Irish name meaning blossom or little flower. 🥹 And it sounds the same. ("Bláthnaid" Yup traditional irish is realy hard to pronounce) So if I want to i can pretend she has an Irish name just spelled weird just like me. 🤣

Realized I never posted here! We added a new pup to our home. Her name is Cinder, and she is a tamaskan dog.

Tamaskans are a breed of dog that is bred to look like wolves. They typically have low or no wolf content. The breed is young and still in development, and is managed by the ITR in Europe, and the TDR here in the US.

Tamaskans not registered through either of these groups are likely not true tamaskan dogs and are potentially from puppy mills. Only ITR/TDR registered breeders are selling actual tamaskan dogs.

To prevent genetic bottlenecks, outcrosses are still done here in the US fairly frequently.

*Blue eyes are a disqualifying fault in Tamaskan dogs. Cinder has blue eyes and therefore cannot ever be bred, which is fine with us. While I love the breed, I didn’t feel we were in the right place to be contributing in that regard.
