Strange Dog Names

[jdh]

She was booked into jail under the name Annie.

Before she was arrested Security at the Circuit of the Americas had named her Cota.

Which is the name she answers to today 5 years later. She is a lot "Fluffier" now though.

I named one of my horses Burt. Big Ugly Red Thing.

 

[Capt Steve]

True story... I swear

Met a guy who was about to depart San Diego for a round the world cruise on his small sailboat. His only companion was a mutt he named .... wait for it,

"Emergency Rations "

We had a Beagle named Lulu Belle. She loved everybody and everything except cats. She kept them out of the yard until a cat was going up a fence trying to get away from her and she caught it by the tail and it came down on her head with the claws digging. After that she made sure that she never caught one.

Burt, Meet Precious

I named one of my horses Burt. Big Ugly Red Thing.

One of my Morgan brood mares was given the name, "Precious". She was Roan in color. She had never been in foal. We bred her with a top Morgan Stallion hoping for a great foal. About half way thru her 11 months, we started calling her, "Semi Precious". By the time she foaled we were calling her "The Red Bitc*h". What a change in demeanor. We were never that thrilled with the filly foal either. We were glad to see the filly sell as a one year old and Precious sell not long after that. ...........

We have a 95 pound north american pit bull terrier named BOB. can't say he's a rescue dog but had heart worm and cost us about a grand to get fixed up. Big lovable mutt, about the only time he barks is when he sees something in the yard. Also quite the dealer of the silent but deadly farts. Frank

Had a found stray dachsund we named Licker as a kid. I have a terrier cross named Kitten now, she is more feline than canine.
My daughter found a poor old tangled Maltese a few years ago, we tried and tried to find a name he responded to. My daughter finally settled on Cornelius, but of course he became Corny. Just lost him recently, now I want another one.
So many dogs over the years. My Dad had a stray he named Frito that became a very good cow dog, though by breeding, or lack of, he had no right to be, lol.
Had a marmalade cat that my kids named Orangish,for obvious reasons, same with 7-toes the giant freak of a cat. 7-toes had ears chewed off smooth with his big old head and lumbered along like a badger. Sometimes you could almost imagine the earth shaking like a mastodon was moving through.

Here's Frankie the Dachshund.

 

[the ringo kid]

Seems like as long as I can remember, nearly everyone I've ever met has either had a dog, or knew of someone who did, named Toby.

Not sure what to think of that.

The last dog I had was named Toby.

My now departed 120 pound american bulldog was Jeffry Dogmer aka anvilhead. His replacement is mastiff and pit named Howard Huge.

 

[oldIrish]

My Dad told my daughter his dog was named "Sooner" because she would
sooner do her business on the kitchen floor than go outside in the winter.
My daughter has a couple of mixed shepherds names "Waylon & Willie"

I once had trouble deciding on an Old English Sheep Dog or a BSA Lightning (that's a motorcycle friends). Got the dog and named it Beesa.
Should have named it sh*t because that's all he did.

I had a nice little black lab named Joy. She didn't know that name however but she always answered to the name Boogie. Wife named her that cause when she retrieved birds she would do a little sideways dance on the way back. Like she was doing the boogie. That dog retrieved over 2400 geese almost as many ducks and at least 10,000 doves. I guided waterfowl and dove hunters. One of my hunting parties had a really hard heded Black lab they called *** hole. Not a joke. First thing each day they would turn him loose and he would go bazonkers..running all over the field grabbing decoys..They would holler at him a bit and when he didn't pay any attention and was out over a 100yds or so they would shoot him in the butt with a skeet load..then he would come back and act like he was civilized till we left the field for the day. Retrieved well too.

I had a yellow lab named Saffron though my wife referred to her as Shedder. One kitten was named dum-dum after his tendency to try to jump through mirrors. Another was named coyote bait.

 

[walkinghorse]

As there has been several drifts into horses, my previous walkinghorse's registered name was Bums Candyman, I called him B.C. !
Our shih tzu puppy is Bailee, wife named him, Chinese version of an Irish name?

 

[S&W Fan]

My parents had a mini Schnauzer named Schroeder lol (registered name was Baron Von Schroeder though never shown). A good friend had a GSD named Diogi (d o g), I had one named Pax.

My son and his wife have a Puggle named Honey Bear and of course I've got my Ziva (lots of pics her posted in the various dog photo threads).

 

[wbraswell]

I laughed about the OP. Phydeaux was the name of a local rock band for many years.
What about the handles people put on their children? Do they want their kid's name to be misspelled all of their life? Why would you put an apostrophe in your kid's name?
For me, naming dogs, one or two syllables are sufficient. They have been Sheba, Otto, Chico, Zeke, Kane, Kris, and Dolly.

 

[Scott in NCal]

Miter, is what one of my neighbors, a finish carpenter calls his dog, an americian standard breed of shelter lineage.

 

[PALADIN85020]

I've had two dachshunds - one was a mix, Fritz. The second was one of those high-falutin' purebreds, just a pup then, so we gave him a regal Teutonic registered name "Herr Winzig Von Kohlenfarb." (Mr. Tiny of coal-color in English). We just called him "Vinny."
