Do you like my dog?

[SierraZoe]

I’ve recently got a rescue (in red collar) he’s really naughty and ate my Jaffa cakes when I wasn’t looking. Shall I call him Jaffa?

[StPaulandTheBrokenBones]

My parents Labrador ate:-

1. Their kitchen
2. The steering wheel of a hire van. Luckily the company it was hired from were not bothered at all.
3. One shoe of a pair. About ten times.
4. The Sunday Times and all of the supplements. Every week.

He was an arse. He managed to live until he eventually got dementia. Still miss the big lump.

Your dogs are beautiful.

[IvysMum12]

He's adorable!
I was advised by a dog trainer to put a thin smear of Vick or Olbas oil on where your dog likes to chew. Even Labs and Goldies won't lick the stuff. Harmless to them.

LOL at eating the skirting board. Mine has done the same. Why do we just accept this behaviour? I was supposed to decorate and have a new sofa a year ago, sodding dog has the house looking like a garden shed. Can’t get rid of him though, he’s too well loved.

[GoodSister]

I love him ❤️

Oooh Joska is good - is it a Hungarian name presumably?

Yes, I think it’s the Hungarian equivalent of Joseph.

[HarryBlaster]

He’s beautiful. I also love grey beard, he looks so like my Harry did 🥰 Harry also ate a skirting board! Gotta love a Labrador’s appetite.

[MrsSkylerWhite]

They’re both gorgeous.

[pastabakes]

Yes, they’re both lovely! He looks like a Jaffa.

[postitpatty]

If you want the Jaffa orange theme, I knew a dog called Marmalade which I thought was a great name 😊

[PolarBlair]

I thought jaffa was an insulting slang term for Protestants (Orange men)

[UselessExLondoner]

He's gorgeous! Can't see any viszla in him. But I'm not an expert. Yellow labs range from white, beige, light yellow, dark yellow to fox red. Fox red is a very similar colour to vizsla.

I'm sure he will be fine with a couple of Jaffa cakes. Labs seem to be able to eat anything !

Hope he settles in quickly.

Jeffrey, perhaps? Bertie requires my grandmother's accent to sound convincing. Unless you've got a voice like Frank Butcher, anyhow....

He looks like a Jeff

[UselessExLondoner]

Also gent some soft toys from charity shops to chew. Or some cardboard.. my dog is excellent at making boxes smaller for the recycling bin.

*supervision required to make sure he only chews and doesn't swallow!

[whytesnow]

There so cute!!!!

[BackAgainstWall]

He’s gorgeous.
careful with chocolate, saltanas, onions etc - loads of dogs poorly over Xmas at our vets.
personally I think he’s too lovely to be called after a biscuit, sorry.
Loki is nice and easy to say/call.

[MadCattery]

Dogs do love chocolate, and other things they are not allowed. My DIL works in a vet practice. She keeps a secret drawer with peanut butter cups, and when a dog comes in and has to be put down, she gives them the one treat they always wanted, as their last treat on earth.

[postitpatty]

If his name is currently'Solo' but you don't like it, what about Rolo? So it's similar enough for him to recognise still but then you can gradually add nicknames like Roly Poly Pudding! (Just me who calls their dog ridiculous nicknames?!)

[xyz123x]

Gorgeous dogs OP ❤️ this has cheered me up!

[MadeForThis]

He looks like a Bruce.

[Catgotyourtongue66]

He's beautiful 😍

[Tummytroubles22]

He’s absolutely gorgeous. My labs once ate a full chocolate birthday cake. I didn’t have to worry about going to the emergency vet as I didn’t know until I went to find it from my hiding place and found the empty box. They appear to have stomachs of steel and can’t possibly enjoy anything they eat as it disappears so fast. Slow feed bowls are great if he’s a greedy guzzler.

[aonbharr]

Jaffa suits him, may I just say the old boy behind him is so content looking with this new arrival, what is his name?

[kingsleysbootlicker]

Solo is such a sad name for a rescue dog I'd call him Duo, now that he has a pal

My dog gets all sorts of names - dog, chops, dog chops, fluffy face, pooch, axel, aquel, puppa dog, puppa dog chops. The list goes on 😂
