If you’re going to name your P for Product in English, do your homework.
How about this new canine grooming centre in the town of Erlangen, north of Nuremberg: Doggy Style.
Oh dear. Of course with the English having such smutty minds, this was bound to be rude for someone: having sex “doggy style” means taking somebody from behind. For more in German see wikipedia :NOT safe for work.
I wonder how many old English sheepdogs enjoy Doggy Style.
But giving them some credit, note the brand name is written upper case and is not hyphenated (doggy-style). So at least they got that bit right.
