OK, we have a new puppy. She's a black lab, with two white paws (back feet), a bit of white on her chest & chin...
Taking suggestions for her name. She does all of the cute puppy stuff, prefers to sleep on the cold concrete or tile instead of a carpet or blanket.
She was a birthday gift & was born Jan. 11th.
Heres one of her & her daddy late last night.

My friend JD got a lab puppy not to long ago. His parents picked her up and brought her to him. They met half way between the Delta and Oakhurst and on the way JD's Jeep broke down. His Dad met up with him and helped him fix the Jeep. That is where JD first saw his new puppy. It was on Madison Street, so her name is Madison or Maddie for short. Clever idea I thought.

The best pet names are two sylables, with two vowels.. so names like Kato, Lucy, Maddie, Toku, Sparky.... Easy for the pet to recognize.

How about Mongrel? LOL j/k.

Dog names should be short and sweet. Something that's easy to shout is always good. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

From bowwow.com:

Here our some useful tips in choosing a name for your dog or cat. Please remember that the pet-name you choose will used dozens of times a day to call, praise and perhaps scold.

Pick a name that the pet can easily recognise. Animals respond better to one or two syllable names.

Choose a name that’s both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out. Calling out "Jack" or "Zoe" in the park may be far less embarrassing than calling out than "Death Breath".

For dogs avoid names that sound like the standard commands of No, Stay, Sit, Come, Down or Fetch. For example "Joe" is probably too close to "No". It can be difficult for dogs to tell the difference between similar sounding words.

If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version. A long name will inevitably be shortened, but it may ruin the effect that you were originally looking for.

The pet’s breed heritage can provide some useful inspiration. For example Orientals ( Siamese and Burmese) , German (Shepherds, Dachshunds and Schnauzers), French (Poodle), Scottish (Terriers), or Irish (Wolfhounds and Setters). The Human Name and Foreign Name categories may assist here.

Waiting a few days to study your pets behaviour can help pick the right name. The Personality, Affectionate and Appearance categories may assist here.

Pick a name that will grow with the pet. For example "Kitten" may be less appropriate for a full grown cat.

Well, she's dark, like Kona Coffee.... It's easy to remember & she's already responding to it. Besides, I had been calling her Snigget all week & that just wouldn't work. Don't ask me why or where it came from.... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/rolleyes2.gif
Here's one of her & Elvis (he's putting up with her for now)
