I adopted him last week from the rescue centre. I think he’s a lab crossed with a viszla. He’s very tall, about 9 months old. I don’t like the name he came with, he doesn’t respond to it anyway. Here’s some names I like

Rolo
Bertie
Reg

i can’t think of any more!

Or Bobby.

Aw, he's so cute! I agree with the PP who said two-syllable names are best for pets. I tend to call my dogs by an assortment of nicknames at least as much as by their 'given names'. 😆

How about Sir Roberto de Doggo? Bertie for short?! He deserves a fancy name as well as your choice included!

This!

One of my dogs had a ‘goddess’ name.

The name I call her on a walk to get her back and 99% of the time. ‘Shit paws,’ cos when she was a puppy she used to walk poo into the house because she liked to play on it.

Names are great and all but let’s be honest. It’ll have developed into a completely unrelated nickname in a week! Just pick whatever you like and be prepared to never use it! 😀

beautiful dog though!

Needhelpsupport · 22/12/2023 21:09
