dog names
« on: February 25, 2012, 10:41:41 pm »
My little terrier and best tracker died in October, broke my heart. I was finally able to walk into the shelter and maintain my composure.so today I adopted another terrier mix . Little boy . Brownish with a black face. He passed every temperment test and was cool around loud noises, even gunfire. Walked him in the woods and he showed a lot of drive. Walked back into the shelter and made the proper donation. I pick him up Monday. He's around 2 years old. I need suggestions on a name , preferably outdoors type. The shelter calls him Denver and my wife likes camo and jaeger.
What do ya'll think ?

Don't let the kids name it.  You might end up like me and have dogs named Princess and Sophie

Archimedes?  He looks pretty smart, might even be able to speak Greek. 

The other name that came to mind looking at that wonderful mug of his is "Chuck".  He kinda looks like a Chuck to me.  Or Steve.

I like Chuck too, but with a relative name Chuck it seems kinda wrong to call the dog that.
 Thanks for all the replies. Sorry bout your lil bud Bubby.

When naming my dogs in the past I went this a weather theme (my German Shorthair was a whirlwind in the house) so I have went with:

Storm, Thunder, Rayne, Storm II Skye

And for all my hawks I usually end up going right to Mythological names for some reason...

How about Orion, was noted as a great huntsman/hunter?

Was taught to name outside/hunting dogs something short that could be hollered without
mangling the sound of the name. Held true to that til I started using a whistle.

Nice looking pup. Looks like a Willie to me.

I agree w/ these guys.  Jaeger is good.  My four year old said "PAW", and my 7 year old said "Barley".  ;D  My old dog names, all girls though, Kyt, Ebba Hedwig, Dottie, Ka-zie-a, and now Nala.  All killers in their own minds. I had a stray I named Kevin one time in college too.  ;D

Looking again, he looks like a one sylable name kinda dog IMO. dpgratz
