You asked about German cities named after animals, colored animals in specific, and for help with your Shire's proposed name of . Here is the information we have found. I'm afraid that we are not able to help you much. While there is plenty of evidence of places named after animals, we found no place names formed from + + . Our experience with period place names leads us to believe that it was not likely that "Red Dog City" would have been used. We hope that this letter has been useful to you. Please write us again if any part of it has been unclear, or if you have any other questions. Research and commentary on this letter was provided by AElfwyn aet Gyrwum, Arval Benicoeur, Daniel de Lincolia, Solveig Throndardottir, Talan Gwynek, and Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn. For the Academy, Aryanhwy Prytydes merch Catmael Caermyrdin
