I'm getting a Golden Retriever Puppy for my birthday today. What should

[Finbar]

we name him?

[Don_G]

1. Yellow Dog Democrat?

:shrug:

[Finbar]

3. Awesome, but i'm sure all retrievers are registered as "yellow Dog"

[LosinIt]

2. Spot

[NMDemDist2]

4. uh.. Goldie?

ROFL


have fun with the new puppy and find a place HIGH in the closet for all your shoes :smoke:

[NMDemDist2]

7. Tawny?

or the ever popular dee-oh-gee (my SIL named her dog d-o-g too funny)

[Spinzonner]

5. Turd Blossom ?

[Branjor]

6. Do you like Sun themes?

Sunny, Sunshine, Sunbeam, Sunrise.

[BlueJazz]

8. Pluto (from Donald duck..etc)

[NMDemDist2]

9. is it a boy or a girl?? eom

[Finbar]

10. It's a seven week old male AKC puppy. But that's all I know, it is a

surprise.

[Wcross]

11. I named my three pups after the Stooge's

Moe, Larry & Curly. Its kind of odd to call a dog Larry. I remember when they were younger and I went into work complaining that Larry kept pooping in the living room- I had some explaining to do!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. Oh, how fun!!

I like Sonny.
Other cute names for a GR baby boy:
-Kansas (don't ask me where this came from. It just popped into my head and sounded cute.)
-Bobby
-Chester
-Quinn
-Fred
-Felix
-Jack
-Pete
-Zeke
-Walt

That's all I can think of right now, but I love the idea of naming a puppy an old man name.
Duckie

[StClone]

13. BIG DOG!

[NMDemDist2]

14. we got a border collie puppy a few years ago and with in the hour of him

being home he ran smack into a wall chasing a ball. Hubby says "Whatcha gonna do for an encore Einstein?" and he has been Einstein ever since..... the pup will name himself within 24 hours usually :-)



here he is all grown up :-) can't wait for pics of your new pal

15. I have a Golden....his name is...

...Truman!

[eaprez]

16. P.S....I also have two

Jack Russell Terrors...Taz & Zoey.

[lil-petunia]

17. My golden is named Oberon

His buddy and best friend ( a rescue dog we got, 1/2 Husky, 1/2 St. Bernard and 1/2 Humvee) is named Titan. Titania would not work for a male.

First things first.
HIDE YOUR SHOES! Baby goldens love to shower their love an attention by chewing through shoes.

[loftycity]

18. Aragon or Michael Moore

[papau]

19. Baby Goldens are wonderful - named mine Alex and Baily

but they gave a need to chew - and shoes and the wood on furniture are at risk.

They are also very smart and have as many emotions as a sister or brother-

They will love you - and your friends - but if you dis them -say by locking them in a room so they do not disturb a special friend, they may give you the finger by peeing on the locked door.

My Goldens watched me and learned how to open a door knob, slider door, etc - something I did not know until I came home from shopping and they were on the porch to greet me.

The IQ does not get much beyond that of a 4 year old - but they understand lanuage, and can have the "test the parent attitude" of a terrible two year old human.

They are extremely trainable - but hate - Absolutely HATE - being alone in the house. I have never seen a happy Golden that was "cage trained" to reside in their cage until called upon.

Good Luck - I envy you - a lot!

:-)

[Finbar]

20. I kind of like "Big Dog". But what if he turns out to be a runt. I have

always had cats. The only other dog I had was a pale blue eyed black dog with white tips named "whoops".
Are Goldens really bad chewers? He will probably be inside/outside dog. I really don't know much about them though

[NMDemDist2]

21. here's some info on your new boy..

[pagerbear]

22. Golden Showers?

[andino]

23. Call him Stay

:)

[Dookus]

24. Call him Dookus!

It's a good, all-purpose name!

[shance]

25. I named my golden Bear after another retriever a friend of mine had

If he/she fits the descrip,I think its a good name.

[Hotler]

26. Look at its personality and let the name come to you naturally.

Live together for a few days and watch him/her and look for their character to show and a name will come to you. I had a dog that was a goof ball from the get go. By the third day I had named him Butthead.

[Droopy]

27. Toby.

[Susang]

28. My golden retriever's name was Roscoe

He was the bestest puppy in the whole world!

[area51]

29. name
