Brindle Dog Names

Introduction

Brindle dogs are strikingly gorgeous, with a different type of appearance than any solid or even multi-colored dog. This is because the colors blend together, but at the same time stand out individually. Many of the colors are shades of browns, tans, greys, and even gold, and not all brindles look the same. That is what makes them so unique! There are also many full-bred or mixed breeds of this color, such as Boxers, Bull Terriers, Akitas, and Mastiffs. Brindle coated dogs have different patterns, depending on the genes. Some brindle dogs have more of one color than the others and some have a blended mixture. When you see a dog with this type of coat, it definitely catches your attention!

Winn Dixie

In the movie Because of Winn Dixie, a young girl adopts a stray dog. She chooses to name the dog Winn Dixie because Winn Dixie is the grocery store in which the dog was found. Since the girl only lives with her father and is new to town, Winn Dixie helps comfort her loneliness. Abandoned by her mother, the ten-year-old needs love and companionship and finds that in her new companion. Winn Dixie also helps Opal meet new friends, and with his silly and mischievous antics, causes many of the townspeople to like him, and Opal, too!

The dogs that were brought in to play the part of Winn Dixie are a more rare breed known as a Berger Picard, or Picardy Shepherd. This breed is loyal, loving, and makes a great family dog. Berger Picards usually have a fawn or brindle coat that is wavy.

If you have ever seen the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, then you know who Toto is! Toto is Dorothy, the main character's, loving and loyal dog. This brindle Cairn Terrier stays right by Dorothy's side throughout the whole movie.

Towards the beginning of the movie, Dorothy saves Toto from being taken by her mean neighbor, Almira Gulch. Almira tries to take Toto because she says he bit her. Once a horrific tornado comes through her town, Dorothy's house is whipped away into the strong winds and lands in the Land of Oz. Dorothy and Toto wake up in a strange place only to find that they are far away from home. Toto protects Dorothy as she ventures through Oz, following the yellow brick road, to find her way back to Kansas.

The pair meet many friends along the way. They meet a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Lion and they all tell her that in order to get back to Kansas, she has to meet the Wizard of Oz. Eventually, the three of them venture through Oz to try to get to Emerald City, where the wizard is. They encounter many obstacles along the way, like the Wicked Witch, the flying monkeys, and talking trees.

Dorothy and Toto eventually make their way to the wizard and get back to Kansas where she belongs. Although Dorothy is the main character, Toto is always with her. He is almost like the main character, and even though he doesn't talk like the other fictitious characters that are not human, Toto's personality shines through by the way he walks, trots, and his facial expressions. It is very easy to fall in love with the little guy!
