Tale of Aeon

 “Aeon” (pronounced [ee-uhn, ee-on] or like the more common male name “Ian”)  
Was chosen by us as the name after much thought and research.  

While searching for male dog names, and names for golden retrievers, I came across documentation titled "Ten Years Research into Golden Retriever Ancestry." 

An excerpt from the article reads:

-“In Lord Tweedmouth’s stud book, three dogs are entered as Tweed Water Spaniels, and one of these, Belle, a bitch-(female) given by Mr David Robertson MP, and entered in 1867 as“Ladykirk breed” (i.e. bred at Ladykirk on the Tweed) was mated to Nous in 1868, the resulting litter of four yellow puppies being the root foundation of Goldens as a distinct breed.”-

Nous, meaning:  mind or intellect, common sense; intelligence (pronounced [noos, nous] or like goose or house, but an N for the first letter.)

A short consideration of the name Nous, but a joint confirmation of that choice wasn't decided between us.  Upon further searching into the meaning of Nous, it was learned that Nous was also the first male Aeon. 

An excerpt from another article found reads: 

-“In many Gnostic systems, the source of all being is an Aeon in which an inner being dwells, known as Ennoea ("thought, intent"), Charis ("grace"), or Sige ("silence"). The split perfect being conceives the second Aeon, “Nous” ("mind"), within itself.  Along with the male Nous comes the female Aeon Aletheia ("truth").  These are the primary roots of the Aeons."-

I would like to mention and give special thanks to our Breeder Hollie Autry of Syrah Goldens.  We are very pleased to have met her, and worked with her on obtaining our puppy.  It has been a pleasure throughout the whole experience, she is a blessing to us, and to all who love dogs and those who are wanting a special dog of their own.
