Once they recognize their name and know the sound of part of it, they come to just about anything along the same line.
We had Monty, he knew Mont too. Jessie knew Jess, our Duncan knows Dunc, Duncy, Maggie knows Maggs. and our dogs know the other dogs names too, when it is their turn. If both are sitting on the deck, you open the door and say come in Duncan, Maggie waits her turn and vica versa.
