Cajun duck names?

[Pat Babaz]

This is a neat thread. Have any of ya'll ever seen a duck dog that was trained in Cajun French? I've heard of people doing this, but never personally seen it. I heard the reason to do this is if the dog is ever lost/stolen it can't be used by the new "owner".

My dad's last dog was a "Chessie" named Justin...(jus-tan)...all commands in French...we also shared a Chessie named Whiskey that took commands in both languages...when I was teaching French, before I became a principal, I used to explain to my students that you can not only train a dog in any language you can teach the word "run" to mean "sit". They associate the word (sound) with the command. I remember all of my uncle's and great uncle's beagles were commanded in French...as was most of the livestock on the farms. Pat, the training of dad's dogs in French was for that reason, so the "new owner" could not use it...but I'm not sure a Chessie would allow himself to be stolen...

I bet Whiskey could grab you a beer from the "cabanes" refrigerator, if you gave him a little.

And...I'm almost positive nobody was steeling him! LOL
