hi! had it been a male dog i would really really recommend the name of patrash. the legendary dog in The Dog of Flanders. he was such a loyal friend to the young boy who had an unfortunate life. theirs was the most touching story for a little boy and his dog. quite an inspiration of hope.
since it's a female dog, how about patty? short for patrice. that's the closest i could find for patrash-inspired name. hehehe
when thinking of a name, your dog can help too. try out a few names and check which one she would respond to. :)
another idea is to think of a word that best describes your dog. a friend of mine named her dog, happy. because she brought happiness to their life. for the cat, it was felicity. for the bird, tweety. hehehe
goodluck in naming your dog. @mylesnarvaez (5451)

hahaha yeah. so patty is out then. let me try a few more. hehehe
white terriers are nicknamed "westies" in scotland and some parts of europe.
white is blanc in french... how about blanca or bianca? hope you don't have a friend with that name too. hehehe
another thing... if you do know the exact birthdate of your dog, you could name her after a saint or even birthstones. how about "jewel" or "beryl", they both mean precious. :)

These names probably sound very silly, but my boyfriend and I are thinking of getting a dog and like the names "pancakes" and "waffles." Pancakes, I think, is more for a flat coated, short haired dog like a lab, and Waffles is good for a shaggier or curlier haired dog. Also, Bernard is a personal favorite dog name of mine !

Given that your dog is female, I wouldn't suggest Bernard, per say, but maybe Bonnie?

Well I personally like human names on animals all my animals except for 2 cats had human names. I'm not into the fluffy and snowball type of names. I think Tiffany or Amber would be cute name for her. Well hope you find a name that works for you!

Hi,
My first white dog over 20 years ago was named Salty....Salty Dog i called her. She was an AWESOME dog. I now have three white dogs, all from different rescues. They are Soo-z who is 15.5, Jake who is 9 and has Cushings and diabetes, and henry who is 3. They are my "3 Dog White" group. I will try to send a picture. Good luck. make sure you let us know what you chose. Wendy
Sorry, I cab't figure out how to send a pic.

It really depends on the dogs personality my dog is named goober because he's a goober and my other dog is named roscoe because he's a great dane that acts like an old lazy man hince the name roscoe. For a girl terrier I would definately pick a girly name if she's really loving and caring towards you I would choose something like darling,,,,can you tell I'm a country girl? lol or you can always go real country and call her Purdy! that's really cute if she's not so loving and just playful call her tinky...I don't know just throwing those out there. Let me know what kind of personality she has.
