Name my new Dawg

#1

Post by mbasic » Mon Sep 18, 2017 6:17 pm

We are getting a German shorthair pointer.
We don't know if we're getting a male or female yet.
If male, the 10 yo boy and I get to name it.
We (I) intend to use for bird hunting...

What are some cool names?

For instance, Jaeger in German means Hunter.

I'm generally not a fan of anthropomorphic names. Seriously, who names a dog William? Anyways, that being said, my inlaw's dog's name is Gus. Single syllable made it easy for teaching commands and getting his attention.

They say 2 syllable names are better than one, for dog names. Also apparently you're supposed to avoid certain soft sounds...? So the dog can better hear it's name. I dunno, I gave my dog a stupid name because he's a stupid (and wonderful and amazing) dog.

Tater

I'd stay away from names that sound like "No" such as Bo or Odin.
