The breeder of my dog gave him the name Timber vom Uckersee (Timber of Ucker lake). Yes, he was considered a noble because the breeder made sure to keep the blood line clean and that the dog showed all the features that defines this particular breed.
The Ucker lake is a lake nearby. The dog was part of the 20th litter of the breeder that's why all the offspring got names starting with a t, the 20th letter of the alphabet.
We usually called our dog just Timmi (or Timmy for English speakers). He was a cocker spaniel with red fur and lived to an age of 14.5 years. A good age for that breed (13-15 years life expectancy). Unfortunately we had to put him down. He had a disease that reduced the blood's ability to transport oxygen. By the time we discovered it all his inner organs were too damaged for him to continue living without serious disabilities.
He looked similar to this one (tap to see).
Now that I remember him I feel sad that I lost him.
