Dog names 2012

This guide was originally written by Atwood

Have you heard CS players talking about a "Sunback" or a "Non Tag"? Are you not quite sure which pet people are talking about? This guide will give you all the commonly-used nicknames for CS pets

Since there tends to be a lot of confusion over what to call specific outcomes, with lots of different or conflicting names floating about, this guide will list all of the dogs along with their most commonly used names. ^^ These are the names that people have come to associate with specific dogs through the discussion or trading boards, so there are sometimes multiple names for the same dogs; if a dog or litter has two names divided by a slash (for example ‘Lucy/Arctic’), that means that both names are commonly used and people will probably know what you mean if you use either of them.

Some dogs don’t have any common names and so I made up names for those ones based on their most distinctive features. If you know a more commonly-used name than the one that is currently listed for a dog or have any questions or comments, please let me know. :3
