Name Meaning(s): (optional)
Gender: Male
Prompt: Cinnamon's unusual word is "darn-it". Everytime their owner forgets where they put their keys or wallet when they are in a hurry, they would always say "darn-it" before frantically searching for the item. Well, Cinnamon took this frantic burst of energy as an opportunity to play and will now jump to their feet to search along for whatever their owner is trying to find - usually getting in the way and making it impossible to lift any couch cushions. He never really helps, but it's the thought that counts!

Username: Baobabel
Name: Geitost // The Whey of the Curd
Name Meaning(s): A dark cheese popular in Norway!
Gender: Male
Prompt:
CHEESE! This collie used to let his prey drive get the best of him. His owner decided, for the sake of the local wildlife and Geitost’s safety, to teach an emergency recall. Around this same time the owner, who’s a major cheesehead, noticed Geitost always ran into the kitchen when she ate cheese. See, she always talked about cheese in an excited voice before eating. "Cheese time!" And she, being slightly messy, had a tendency to drop a few pieces of shredded cheese whenever it was used in cooking. So Geitost learned to associate the word cheese with a delicious treat. His owner decided to make cheese both the cue and his extra special reward for the emergency recall. Now whenever Geitost hears the word ‘cheese’ he leaves whatever he’s doing to come racing over to her. And she has switched to calling the human food ‘yummy dairy product’ to avoid confusion.

Prompt: Cooper's freak out word is "walk up" when it pertains to herding! He's one that likes to stay near the back of the herd while other collies head around the sides.

Name Meaning(s): (optional)
Gender: male
Prompt:
Realm doesn't get excited with words like most dogs do, but there is one exception. Realm gets absolutely excited and and so happy he will do a little tappy dance and smile with his teeth when he hears the word "grandma". He absolutely loves going to grandma's house or just seeing her. He thinks she gives the most wonderfulest scratches and pets and of course she spoils him with some home baked pupper cookies. But it's just the cutest and heart warming thing to watch.

Name Meaning(s): (optional)
Gender: Male
Prompt: Quest thrives on a farm setting, mostly learning how to herd. However, during his pup years his owner had a habit of grabbing his Paws and announcing he had "beans" which he would get all excited about. It quickly turned into a game of grabbing his "toe beans" withouhim noticing and announcing "beans!" When you succeeded. When he hears the words beans, he jumps around like a bouncing jelly bean, trying to keep his toes away from anyone with grabbing hands.

Username: wolfhaunt
Name: WH Truth-Seeker // Elvira
Name Meaning(s): The German meaning of the name Elvira is “truth”.
Gender: DFAB
Prompt: “Are you silly?”

Elvira will go absolutely bonkers if her owner says that, especially if it’s said in a high-pitched voice. She will immediately drop into a play bow and wag her entire body in excitement, then zoom around the room at top speed. It’s rather odd to watch a dog like Ellie with zoomies because she almost never barks - so it’s just a weirdly quiet explosion of energy. After she’s done zooming, she’ll play bow a few more times before rolling over and wiggling wildly. Sometimes she’ll pause for a few moments to enjoy a belly rub, but then she’s back to business chasing her tail and overall running around like a lunatic as if to say “yes, I am silly”!
