Name my new gun dog

MAX...

just pray you don't wind up like me, didn't realize that my wife and step-daughter were NOT making sure to adress the dog with the agreed upon name, i now have a 3 year old Min-pin that thinks her name is "Puppy".

which of course trumps what happened with my cat.... she's a Korat one of if not the oldest known breeds (THE oldest one to be consistently "bred pure" by man) when we got her we had her registered with a nice fairly elegant sounding name (as is typical with such critters) and one portion of which worked well as a two-syllable call-name "Takhli" (a place name in Thailand some here with an Air force background may recognize it). we had her less than a week and she'd been forever branded "Smurf"

+10 to that! The first year with a lab can be a bit trying, just hold on. Once they hit 1 year, they mellow out, even though they never lose that "puppyish" enthusiasm for just about everything. They are among the most intelligent and loving breeds out there, and they're great with kids and other animals.

Mine are mixed, but they've happily co-existed with a ferret and and a parrot at various times. In fact, my youngest used to pick the ferret up and carry her around the house.

As far as names, they should be two syllables, first one dominant and somewhat staccato. Has to do with the way they percieve sound. One thing to watch for with a lab is the development of hip dysplasia. Have her checked for it starting at one year. Even if she does get it, it's easily treated with Cosamine (same stuff I take for my bad knee, but cheaper) if caught early. Do not ever give your dog Rimadyl or listen to anyone who tells you to!

You're in for an adventure--all the best!

A Lab Story

Here ya go, Lab Lovers!

http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?p=48724#post48724

Dog names are hard. My future gun dog is going to be a male Yellow Lab, and I am going to name him Ace. Guy names are way cooler like Zeus! I did a seach once on "dog name ideas" and a lot of stuff came up. It's just like getting a tattoo, you have to see it before you know what you want!

Mine is Maggie and you will be tested that first year, mine is 14 months and still on the go but getting better.
How about Remington or SIG

Thanks for sharing Tuner
good story

Sako was my favorite dogs name. Here is my Sako

beautiful dog was breed is she

Well, as long as we're posting pictures of our dogs -

Here's Suzi, my beagle



My daughter, Faith, and her baby, Ginger (they live near Lake Tahoe)

ur daughter is cute

I haven't decided if my dog is smart or stupid
His name is Dozer but my wife can't pronounce that so she calls him Jo-Jo, my son calls him Boo Boo and my ex who spends time with him calls him Clyde because she likes that name better.

He will answer to any of those names only if the right person uses it..

MY father's old field dog was named Tick, because she was usually one big walking tick bed

What they all say about labs- ITS TRUE

My black lab (has some newfoundland, supposedly, too) bailey is incredibly human like.

And he makes sounds like a wookie when he wants to play and no one will play with him But he has the sharpest dang bark when hes annoyed.

Does anyone else have, when you give your dog a treat, right before he goes to grab it, his eyes get real wide and you can see the whites in em?

When i noticed this i nearly fell over and the floor laughing. His eyes got so widwe for a split second!

1911 Tuner,

Big AMEN!

As an owner of two labs, a black male and a yellow female I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I know the original poster wanted "gun-related" names, but the lab female knows!

I'll have to chime in with:
Dani (that's what we named our yellow female)
Lily
McKenzie
Molly
Dakota


jcs, congratulations on your new addition to the family. Labradors, are my favorite breed. You have more than just a dog, you have a companion.


-Jim

you must use a two, three syllable word that has hard consanents in it, this will be more easily heard by your dog, in loud crowded areas. such as pee -pie, barkie,
crackers, smuckers,shakespeare, sodapop, baby, chicky, marbles, etc.

I just got a new bird dog and we almost named her "Zoot"!

When she is bad we of course would say...."naughty, naughty Zoot!"

I may have to steal that one!

I got it!!!! I got it!!!!

You could name her the same as my dog!!! his name is..........

GETYERASSOFFTHECOUCH!!!

But seriously......

Pictures would be nice, So we could take physical attributes into consideration! Like if she has no legs, It don't matter what you call her.......she AINT comin'!..........

Yeah, she's a pretty good kid. She's 34, single and makes about $80K annually with her own real estate company. Only problem is she's a Clintonite Kalifornian and very definitely anti-gun. Of course, that didn't stop her from having a gun when she lived in a rough section of Atlanta during college. Typical anti- hypocracy, it's okay for me, but not for you. Yes, we've had some heated debates!

She's a bitch, right? How about Hillary?

Why don't you give SOOT a try as in soot from a fireplace.
