I don't remember Winnie being a Black Bear in the illustrations - AA Milne named Winnie after a teddy owned by his son Christopher robin Milne and that teddy was the standard golden colour. I do remember Pooh being a reasonable shot though !
I prefer a dogs name to have two syllables and to have a unique sound that wont be confused by the dog with other words - 'Coffee' could be a problematic name whereas 'Tulip' (black) would be seldom confused
