Angela and daughter # 3, (who still lives at home for the next 4
years), fell in love with Gus, a Westie owned by friends of daughter #
1.
I think he's a cute little guy too, Great dog to take on trips,
doesn't shed, and doesn't shit footballs.
We are in touch with a breeder in Toronto and there is a choice
between 3 bitches.
Any of them would probably be fine.
So far, we have:
Charley
Gabby
Bailey
and my 2 favourites:
Puddles and
Truffles.
Anybody else have any cool dog names? (Even though she's a bitch, Tim
and Doug are out of the question.)

Get the dog and its personality and behavior will provide plenty of
hints for appropriate candidate names. Try them out and when which ever
one the animal responds best to - .
Took three months, but my chocolate lab - Nitro Mocha Motion - usually
just
NITRO! seemed to respond well to his name (he was a VERY destructive
puppy, with the ability to always chew on, and destroy, the most
expensive of his possible choices).
There's a kitten in the house - until I can find a kid who wants a
kitten for Christmas - with a preference for getting under low things -
couches and other hard to clean under furniture. At the moment she
seems to respond best to Dusty. If the little critter could get into
the cracks and crevices of couch and chair pillows Spare Change would
become her temporary name.
And on the subject of cat vs dog names - the Common Knowledge holds that
dog's names shoud be TWO sylables while cat names should be only one
sylable. With dogs, the first sylable engages their senses so that the
second sylable can be heard and understood (if you're military, it's
"preparatory command and command of execution - eg Eyes Right,
Ten-SHUN). With cats, their senses are ALWAYS engaged - even when they
seem to be napping. When issued a command, they will hear and
understand immediately. They normally pretend they don't and ignore you
- but they will condescend - occassionally - to at least acknowledge
your presence.
Regarding "dogs" and "not REALLY dogs" - my rules of thumb are
- If you have to bend over to pet an animal, it ain't a dog.
- If you have to spend more time TRYING to pet the animal - as it bobs
and
weaves and ducks and dances - than actually petting it - it ain't a
dog.
- If one of its breed has ever been seen with a sweater - or hat - it
ain't a dog.
- If you have to look under things - furniture, pillows, bed shams, etc.
- in
order to find it - it ain't a dog.
- If it wets itself and the floor every time it sees you, even if you've
been
gone for less than 30 seconds - it ain't a dog.
- If it'll fit in a purse or an over the shoulder bag - and has - it
ain't a dog.
- If you can pick it up to rub noses - it ain't a dog.
- If it licks your face and you then don't have to go wash your face
it ain't a dog.
- If it requires a "groomer" - it ain't a dog.
- If they don't make a choke chain (a real misnomer since it's almost
impossible to actually choke a dog) small enough for it - it ain't a
dog.
- If its Dog Shampoo is scented - it ain't a dog.
- If it jumps up on you with middy paws and only gets your socks dirty
it ain't a dog.
- If it can't hold most of your hand in its mouth to lead you over to
something it wants you to see - it ain't a dog.
- If it can't, if it really wanted to, knock you on your butt (as
opposed to
causing you to fall trying not to step on it) - it ain't a dog.
- If its leash and collar weigh as much or more than it does - it ain't
a dog
- If the available choice of collars for it have rinestones or are pink,
mauve.
aquarmarine - or white patent leather - it ain't a dog.
- If its dog licence is as big or bigger than its head, or paw - it
ain't a dog.
Oh - and if you want to create a neurotic dog - of whatever size - name
it STAY - or SIT.
Dog training classes are for the owners to learn the difference between
"stay?" and STAY!

You certainly know your breeds - and really nailed Goldens. The time
spent pulling cockle burs and twigs and things out of their fur after
a hike is perfect for good bonding time. A friendly and more loyal
animal you'll never find.

I've got a Benjy looking black and white Shih Tzu/Schnauzer mix I named Bowser.
With hindsight, I think I might have named her Grendel instead but what's done
is done.

I'm told it _is_ advisable to look at the behind (that's what hindsight means,
right?) before picking an animal's name.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got
our whole lives ahead of us, and you're worrying about a stupid
burned out bulb?
BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not
up to code.
DACHSHUND: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
ROTTWEILER: Make me!
BOXER: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
LAB: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can
I? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
GERMAN SHEPHERD: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from
the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one
more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage
of the situation.
JACK RUSSELL TERRIER: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the
walls and furniture.
OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a
light.
POINTER: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there........
COCKER SPANIEL: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the
dark.
CHIHUAHUA: Yo quiero Toco Bulb.
AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little
circle.........
GREYHOUND: It isn't moving. Who cares?
THE CAT'S ANSWER: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light
bulbs. So, the real question is "How long will it be before I can
expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"
ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS
HAVE STAFF.

I agree with Phil Again about the 2 syllable usage, I usually wait
until I have had a chance to observe their personality before naming.
The puppies I give throwaway names as they are just for identification
until someone gives them a permanent home.
The fancy registered names of the dogs I keep, I use my name
first and then(hopefully) something appropriate,
Murphy's Little Tin Scooter (Scooter)
Murphy's Mambo Number Five(Mambo)
I have one named Ruari, which means red haired king in Welsh,
appropriate for a red Corgi.
Don't be in to big of a hurry and the puppy will almost name
herself.

Just some OT thoughts:
My Uncle told me that a dog should have a name with 2 syllables each with
a hard constant. That way you call your dog, you can get some teeth in
his/her name. Dogs don't understand the words we use, they understand
the how you say the words, the 'emotion' as it were.
Jackkie is better than Jack
Woodie is better than Samuel
Robert is better than Ramon
Also, if you intend to AKC register your new pet, you should also think
about the long formal name:
For example: call name: Biscuit; Register name: Biscuit and Sausage-Gravy
or
(in the following case, the O' for Son-of, or Daughter-of)
Call Name: Cuerva; Register Name: Cuervo Tequila-shot 'O Gaucho
or
Call name: Mattie Register name: Manhattan No-Ice No-Fruit
