I think Gunther reminds me of Pluto’s other rival, Gunther the goat from the army mascot short.

Definitely harmonises in every way with the general meaning of the name and loves other dogs and children too. At times can be very independent!

I think Gunther is a beautiful name. From my experience as a dog owner. Puppies tend to grow into the name.
