EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

  How do y'all come up with your dog names? It varies with me. In the old days I would try to pick out a really cool name and half the time the dog never made it to my standards. I really hate to waste a good name on a sorry dog. I followed the country music theme for a while with Reba, Shania, Willie, Hank etc.   Waited a long time to get  Maltese Plott that I could call Blue and I have had Red, Yellow, Brownie and Blackie. When I kept pairs I had a Jed and Alley Mae, Jack and Jill. Finally I started naming my females after my X girlfriends and had a good supply of them until my better half told me that was not going to work. Told her if she wasnt careful her name might be next on the list. Probably the best way is to make them earn it. Once you know they are going to make it then give them a name that fits them.

Yeah all them ways I’ve tried.  I wish that all of em would live up to the name we want them to live up too.  Maybe I will name the next one Biden. That way when he lies and don’t become nuthin I’ll be use to it and it won’t shock me   Lol

The harder I think and work to come up with a cool name the more likely that sucker won't make it. Except for Augustus McCall and Lorie Darlin.

I’ve tried it all, and the good names never make it hardly. Now I either let the kids, or the wife come up with something til it sounds right. I use to have a list if I thought one was good, I’d write it down.  Nowadays I try and let the dog name themselves with a quirk, color, attitude, or something like that.

I’m not superstitious, maybe ALIL-stitious, but wouldn’t ever name a dog after one I’ve culled and wasted a name on, but may have to change that I’m running low on names  ;D

I’ve tried the country greats, western movie stars, Greek Gods, Viking warriors, and now I keep it simple. The daddy to my puppies is named Uno because he has one white foot. Another young dog is Dos because he has 2 white feet.

I always have had good luck with dog names. I think if you put that on a dog your dreams never line up. I just kinda name them how they act or look so I tend to name them later on. I had a bulldog yrs ago was slow as molasses so I named her Polky cuz she was so dang slow but one hell of a dog. I had one yrs ago we named hook cuz I took him fishing as a pup and he ate the hook with the bait on it.

Mine sorta just come to me after raising the dog after a few months. Some will come instantly and some take a year or two. It concerns my better half, that I have a list on my phone of good dog names I’ve come up with over the years but I can’t come up with names for our future children and I have my next two dozen litters named. Hahahaha

On the country music topic, my grandpa always had shop dogs at his mechanic shop, he use to always name his males either Willie or Waylon.

The females were always named Candy or Lucy not too sure where he came
up with the name for the gyps but he has always stuck true to those 4 names.
