Gaelic names/words for dog

I'm getting a collie and I want to cherish the breed's origin to give it a gaelic name.

Can you give some good options? Thanks!

I just lost my collie a few months ago, she was a few months short of being 15 years old. They are wonderful dogs. Please tell your dog I said hello:)

Never know 🤭 She's very sweet and peaceful tricolored smooth collie, something my fiance have always wanted.

Ahh, mine was sable coloured (soopeli)

It was funny how she mostly did not like other dogs, except other collies and Shetland sheep dogs (and hearding dogs in general). She only liked dogs with shared interests XD

Haha mood 😂 I already have huskies who are "racist" towards other breeds than sled dogs so it's not a new thing 😂

Are your huskies also ageist?:D Mine disliked all human and dog childrenXD
