Likewise with our last dog. Was a Vizsla called Copper’s Cooper…Copper was his dad and Cooper just seemed to fit.

Looks like a "Dingo" if you ask me.

Do you make any decisions on your own or do you just Facebook everything?

The breeders just name it something themed or the color of the collar to differentiate them. You don't actually keep that name.

Our dog is a rescue. Her foster family named her Delilah. When we adopted her, I wanted to name her Zelda. I was outvoted by the wife and kid though. So her name is Delilah.

I don’t have damn say in this at all anyway…just acting like I do. I’m not even driving up with my wife and son to get the dog. I will for sure suggest it though.

I’ve always changed the name of dogs I’ve adopted. They learn fast.

Weird. I deal with pure bred dogs quite a bit. I've never seen a breeder name puppies. It's always, orange, blue, red, green... etc., referring to their collar color.

My dog’s “Name” was dark green.

That’s exactly where I’m at. I still have my son as Willem in my phone (he’s 17) because that’s what I wanted to name him…I apparently don’t have much pull with names.

Willem is a good name. Every woman in both families thought it sucked.

Honey?

Looks more like a “Armenian Critterface” to me.

You're gonna love your mini Aussie. I have a 2 year old and she is wonderful. Kinda racist though. Hates Mexicans. Well...hates Mexicans cutting grass.

I'd name her like Bindi or something like that.

For my dog, as soon as the pup was born we had a name picked out and told her to use that name every chance she got. Worked out well for us. Granted, not every situation works out that way.

His real name could be, 'my owners a fricking weirdo' but you could call him, Canberra. That's Aussie.
