chris139ryan · 03-09-2011 5:29pm #1

Im getting the dog in around 5 weeks and im having an awful time to picking a name that suits this breeds wild and placeful ways. I have been thinking about it for around 8 weeks and i have still come up with nothing.
Im trying to avoid the usual dog names, any help would be much appreciated

Bruce

Sounds like brute or brutus and opens up loads of nicknames that you're bound to end up calling him like Brucie, Bruk, Brux, Brick, Brice etc.

Mine is supposedly called Zola but we both call her Little Missy. Don't stress too much about the name. You'll have have a dozen for him when his personality develops and rarely use his proper one.

Post pics when you get him.
