Post by: dbllunger on January 11, 2009, 03:54:38 PM: ....I would always just watch them and then find one that kind of fits. Even if he has papers you don't have to name him immediatly. Remember...pick a name that is not going to conflict with your commands. Dogs are smart but they don't know the difference between Bo....NO....Whoa while hunting. The last pointers I named were Caitlin because she was high strung, and Abigail because she was calm but super efficient. Just seemed to fit. Always had females sorry. You can add in anything you want even with good blood lines just make sure you finish up with the money side. IE...Cole (his name) von bird dog liteforce (mom or dads name). That way you get the blood line in for breeding selling, and you just call him by what ever his name is.

You can buy those from someone who raises them. You don't want an old nasty rotten one. Just keep the parts in the freezer and they will last forever. Pidgeons are used because they return to the coop and are easy to take care of. Also much cheaper then game birds to use.

Post by: sisu on January 11, 2009, 06:03:50 PM: Watch a couple of good westerns and you'll have a name. Heck the entire family likes Lonesome Dove so we got a dog named Gus and a grandson with McCrae for his middle name.

Title: Re: dog names
Post by: Sportfury on January 11, 2009, 07:40:28 PM: How about Ruger. Nice two syllable name and would be a bonus if you shoot a ruger. I always try and keep my dog names to one or two syllables. My girl I just pick up two weeks back is named Sofie.

Post by: dbllunger on January 11, 2009, 08:47:45 PM: I see others like the old names. Sofie is awesome. Love it. I think boneaddict on here raises birds, and if he does not have what you want he could probably get you in the right direction. I don't know what sportsmans has, but I just always used wild birds. A little out of season now, and my cat is not as young as she used to me. She was a crazy good quail killer. Don't attack me on that....trust me she never threatened the population in town where they could not be hunted anyway.

Title: Re: dog names
Post by: ICEMAN on January 11, 2009, 10:48:23 PM: Always like the name "Duke".

My last dog was named from the story of how we got him. He was at the pound on week 1. On week 2 we showed up to get him only to find him missing from the kennel he was in. We asked at the front counter. She claimed that he was so cute, she re-admitted him so he would not get put to sleep that week. She claimed he is so "Lucky" we came back to get him. So "Lucky" it was, for 18+ years.

You might also try place/names. I had a cat named WAZZU for years.

My Bassett hound...we had a Flash when I grew up like the one on Dukes of hazard. I wanted something like her, so we had a Storm and a Tornadoe. Storm died of cancer. T also gets her name because she has a white T on her back. Most of the time she goes by T.

Post by: ICEMAN on January 13, 2009, 06:04:39 AM: benbo, another great way to see if the name works for you is to practice yelling that name at the top of your lungs:

XXXXXX, come here!

XXXXX, get off the couch!

XXXXXX, drop that cat!

Yell these outside too, see how well it rolls off your tongue. :chuckle:

Funny, but good advice. I may name my next dog "Dummy". Doesn't seem to matter what I name my dogs, I end up calling them Dummy. "*censored*" might work too. :chuckle:

Post by: AngelFace on January 14, 2009, 11:27:57 AM: Had a Black Lab growing up. My parents had to put her down just the other day :'( But she was about 12 years old. Her name was S.A.L. My mom always said it was short for Sally, but we all knew she said that to avoid explaining the real name :chuckle:. We adopted her from my cousin. Her ex-boyfriend had named her S.A.L. for a specific reason . . . he said she was a Stinkin' A$$ Licker. :chuckle: :chuckle:

My Daddy's 4 year old Chocolate Lab is Coco.

My 7 month old Yellow Lab is Bayla.

Here is a picture.
From left to right: Bayla 4 months, Coco 4 years, and S.A.L. 12 years.
All the most wonderful dogs. :) My dad [smdave] took this picture in October.
