We started looking for Keifer when we found that our beloved Cooper had cancer and only had a few months. We wanted something to honor such a wonderful dog. I knew Cooper was old English for Barrel maker.... Then when I researched Keifer (Who doesn't love Mr. Sutherland?) and found in its old German form it meant Barrel maker!! We knew we had our name. Plus doesn't Keifer just sound like what a little York would say if he could talk? Kind of a lisp type word. |
