London

Being one of the main capitals of the world since its early beginnings, is easy to understand that London has always been an inspiration for people worldwide. Its people, places, fashion, culture, and tendencies have a great effect on what happens on the rest of the world.

The city had its influence on the Canadian television series named The Littlest Hobo, first shown in 1965 and with a revival in 1979. The Littlest Hobo was a very successful series that was syndicated in different countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. The series, based on the American film, told the story of a stray German Shepherd who wanders different towns helping people in need. Despite people’s many attempts to adopt the little Hobo, he preferred living on his own with no owner and no static home, and would always be on his way. And for some reason, Hobo’s background and history was hidden.

Hobo was played by different German Shepherds, owned and trained by Charles Eisenmann, but the primary star was a dog called ‘London’. Although his relatives also took a part in the series, London was in charge of the major part of the scenes. London was educated to understand English, German, and French. He also recognized colors and carried out very specific directions and commands. This dog rapidly became Eisenmann’s star dog, who began to breed his own German Shepherds with “reverse marks” after getting London.

However, London didn’t have a proved German Shepherd bloodline, and it is believed he was a mixed breed, since those “reverse marks” are said to be shown only by hybrids. It is stated that Shiloh Shepherd dogs are descended from London and his relatives, in an aim to breed dogs as intelligent as London and his kinsfolk. London was an athletic, strong dog, very intelligent, educated, and definitely a star. He is a very good representation of the city after which he was named. For the 1979 revival, Einsenmann took London’s grandson to be one of the main participants in the series, this dog was also named London.

Einsenmann even carried out a tour to promote his education method and took his dogs with him. He made live demonstrations on TV, participated in radio shows, and also wrote books about it.

London Dog Name Considerations

London is a stylish, highly cultural metropolis that never sleeps. Londoners are on the top of any trend; their clothing brands are utterly dashing, their museums are impressive, their theater is over the top, and the city is definitely something else. This is a very cosmopolitan city that’s widely diverse, and this makes it more interesting. London is never boring, it is active, fun, uninhibited, and very sophisticated. It is said that when someone gets bored of London, they are bored of life.

So, obviously, you would picture a fun, energetic, but stylish dog as the perfect candidate to be named after this magnificent metropolis. A dog like a Siberian Husky with his sophisticated appearance and his high energy level is a perfect fit for a London inspired named. Terriers would clearly be also very well represented by a London name, since they have such a British history and they have this voguish but nonchalant air; like a classy Fox Terrier, a Scottish, a Westie, or a Cesky. Other dogs that would carry a London name well are hounds, like the English Foxhound, the Bluetick Coonhound, or the Bloodhound with their easy going but self-confident personalities. And last but not least, Setters like the English, the Gordon, and the Irish are dogs that definitely fit this stylish, relaxed, and sophisticated profile.
