[Closed] Very OT - Help me choose a name for a dog portrait business please!!
As title really, toying with the idea of a spot of dog photography. It would be leaning toward the whole 'lifestyle' type of thing (people and their dogs, dogs on their walks etc, rather than studio based boringness).
pedigreeportraits.co.uk is gone, ishootdogs is available but Mrs Removed reckons it might put people off ๐
Any ideas?
Oh, and anyone in the NE of England who wants a free doggy shoot and print, get in touch - details [url= http://jamiethetog.blogspot.com/ ]HERE[/url] This is limited to the next 12 people that ask BTW....
Doggy Positions.
Face palm. But it is the best so far..... ๐
EDIT - there is actually a grooming parlour up the road call Doggy Styles ๐ฏ
Ishootdogs is brilliant. I wouldn't want to do work for people who didn't find that funny.

Prints of Bark-ness?
Paw Prints
Paw Prints
Edit - Great minds etc...
๐
Maybe just a touch obscure jock! But the effort is appreciated!!
Top Dog Portraits / Photography?
Oh that's very good organic - off to check!
EDIT - all variations are taken already - pity that.
Snappy-doo?
Bitch-snap?
Muzzle-flash?
there may be some without hyphens, but that's not how i roll
hot dogs
Pointer and shoot
Shutter Mutts
Bitch-snap or doggy positions are the best so far...
Pooch(y) pics?
Canine Captures
Handsome Hound? handsomehound.co.uk is available
Pretty Pooch?
dogsbollocksphotos is available (surprisingly). Presumably you could photograph their faces too if their was enough demand.
Pupparazzi
I like Prints of Barkness too!
Lots of good names - cheers chaps! dogsbollocks FTW so far ๐
Plenty to be thinking about, but please do keep them coming!
What do you think of flash dog photography? I like it 'cos it's snappy (pun intended).
Digital Dogs.
Doggy Style (also the name of a pooch pampering business in Coventry, so you could get away with it if you're a way away)
How about 'dogs stink of shit'..?
Prints of Bark-ness - that's brilliant!
www.k9pics.co.uk
Its available.
How about Yappy Snaps?
But I think Pupparazzi is excellent
flip - ta for that. I'd actually thought of it (or might have been the wife) but after a quick search, there are already at least two very prominent businesses using variations - I'm very keen to avoid any confusion....
And yes - Pupparazzi ain't bad! But sadly there is already a big Oz company trading under that name.
Fidographs
Hounds full of Bashfullness...
Thanks to all for ideas - had a good few chortles.... Think I'm going to go with hairy dog photography - not the snappiest name, but it seems practically every domain name associated with dogs or plays on words about dogs, has been taken.
Once again, do please get in touch if you fancy a free dog photo session and you're in or around the North East - I need to build a portfolio. Free print too if it helps. Hope the mods don't think I'm advertising...!
Why pick a name that restricts you to dogs? What if you wanted to branch out later? Not worth going for "pet prints" type of thing?
I love "Prints of Barkness" mind, that's genius.
scooby snaps
phodography
how about "foto-grrrr-aphs" or "happy snappy"
Mutt Mugs ๐
I like canine captures. It's hard not to be cheesy in this situation. I'd go for something like Barks and Bokeh or some such pretentious nonsense, but a lot of the paying public wouldn't know what it's about.
I shoot dogs is the best one though.
shazam! (not that i've spent the afternoon mulling over this at all)
Fetching Photography - a cheesy pun with avenue to go all po-faced if you branch out.
alternatively:
Gorgeous Growlers (plenty of room to branch out there too ๐ )
Dont be negative
Collar me bad
Scooby snaps
"Prints of Barkness". LOL! *doffs xen*
Phodography.
Dogography?
Well, believe it or not, between the two of us sitting here earlier, we managed to come up with quite a few of the suggestions here. I do offer regular portraits on my main wedding and portrait site, so wanted a dog-centric theme for this one. I'll link between the two though....
Really like scooby snaps but alas, it's too late - bought www.hairydogphotography.co.uk earlier tonight ๐
The site's live but due to redirecting issues, it's not visible yet to anyone but me... I'll link to it tomorrow if it's sorted.
Huge thanks to all contributors - it's been a lark ๐ And a learning experience - there are hardly any non-rubbish domain names left out there!
That's the website online and under construction. If you get a mo, please have a quick look - feedback welcome!
The logo will be redone when I get five minutes. Free shoots still available if you want one - email in profile. Hope this isn't getting too close to stealth-advertising....!
Oh - addy as above or clicky here;
[url= http://www.hairydogphotography.co.uk/ ]dog / lifestyle portraiture[/url]
I noticed that there's a round of some kind of dog harness running thing at Mayhem this year. I'd have thought they'd be good for selling dog photos (assuming it's not like mountainbike racing already and dozens of people are at it).
