Dog Names!

[Bacpacker]

We have a Cane Corso her name is Baci it means kisses in Italian. She is very good with the 3 of us, She absolutely hates everyone else, she is a mean bitch!

Well we were gonna come visit. Change of plans we don't need our A$$es chewed off.

Have 2 pups, brother & sister.

Chess is the male, Luna is the female. (Chess mess, and Luna tuna).

Also have a pet pigeon named Squeaky (after the noises she made as a squab), usually call her Squeaky-do.

It has long been my understanding that dog names should be only one syllable long. This especially if more than one dog is in area. If training hunting dogs for example.......

Joe or Jake or Bob

Yes, the old saying was: "If you want to know if you have a good name for your dog, stand on your back steps and shout it at the top of your lungs 5 times".

I normally let them name themselves.
My twin tomcats were born in a thunderstorm "Thunder and lightning" Their little brother pushed an ammo can off a shelf onto my head, he's "Boxer."

I have had troubles with one syllable names in the past. Getting confused and calling my son Shep and my dog Chris was not popular with either of them.

Our red heeler pup is named Rowdy.

 

[DrHenley]

No discernible pattern...
Spots became Spotty
Patricia became Trish
Wrinkles (Chinese Shar Pei) lost his dog card by acting more like a cat. He kept going over or under the fence, running away and one day he never came home.

A guy grew up in Wrangell, a small town in Alaska, and named his dogs after nuts, cashew, walnut, pecan, etc. After a couple decades of this he named his new dog Penis and the whole town thought the dog’s name was Peanut. Only his friends knew the truth.

Dogs can have extensive vocabulary, IF you teach them! My Mom had a wonderful Golden that knew the name of about 90 toys, because she taught her!! Not one syllable names for the toys! A lot is up to the owner and the dog's intelligence!!

 

[Ekatarina]

I had a all white deaf, blue eyes Great Dane I did name her Angel

 

[Mountain trapper]

The best dog I ever owned, and best friend I ever had, was an English Chocolate Lab named Gus. I bought him from a breeder in Oxford Mississippi and had him flown first class to Alaska.
Sadly I had to put him down 3 years ago. I still get choked up whenever I think about him.

The problem is with working dogs. Sled dogs need to know their name and it need to be short name.

A man and his two sons in their mid 30's they each have two working dogs; they are highly trained water retrievers. When the three men are waterfowl hunting together with six dogs, they need the dogs to have one syllable names. Or it is total confusion. Example: one of the hunters' steps to the edge of the water. He calls, "Jake heel" then he shows Jake which bird he wants Jake to fetch. Commands: Jake fetch. Jake does. The other five dogs sit quietly waiting their turn. There might be seventeen dead birds floating. Each dog is sent to retrieve a specific bird.
If the dog is having trouble finding his bird, his master can call the dog's name give the dog hand signals to tell the dog where the bird is. All this in wind and rain and snow. There might be several dogs in the water at the same time fetching. It is possible each dog could be getting additional instruction.......while ignoring commands being given to other dogs.

It is a beautiful thing to watch.

I had a chocolate lab / shepherd mix. He was probably the best dog anyone could ever have. I miss him greatly, and think of him often. Had to be put down after getting some type of brain cancer. His name was Oscar.
