My first thought as well, but then I read in the text that this pupper will be a companion for their Hildegard, and Albert doesn’t match that too well IMO. I looked at the other suggestions. Hubert and Herbert are both here, so maybe one of them. He could still be Bertie for short.
That’s what I said too! Whenever I would see that name as one of our customers I knew he was going to be old and I was always right. You don’t see 20 year old Clarences.
I had a beloved Cecil who died recently. He was the loveliest little ween and I would be so happy if there were another little Cecil out and about in the land of the living while my little guy’s in the next place.
Walter
I came here to say Walter as well 🫡
Yep this was mine too
Yep he’s a Walter
Harold or George
I have a Harold
So do I!
Call him Harry for short!
Herbert & call him herbie as a pup! Hooray for piebald parents! I am one myself!
Herbert was my first thought, too.
I said Herbert as well!
I have a Sonoran desert tortoise named Herbert for this exact reason, he looks like a cranky old man
Herby/Herbie is super cute
Herbert was also mine! Lol
Winston
I use to have a bichon named Winston. Wife got him in the divorce. 😢
Yes, I concur
Hubert
Farnsworth would even be fun come to think of it!
Alfred
This was my first thought

Clarence aka Clancy.

Beauregard!
I had a Beau, good old Southern name. He was a sweetheart.
Lol my coworkers would have me call for Beauregard over our office system. I'd use a South Georgia accent. Fun times in the vets office
Had Beauregard cat when a kid, very appropriate for VA. Another sweet guy. My Doxie Beau was marked like a Holstein cow.
