we call our guy his "official" he he also has 2 other names and he responds to them too.. it depends on our mood and if he's in trouble or not

How old is he? Does he come when called zulu? It's a nice name for a dog.
I didn't get to name mine as she was 8 when i got her, but i do have pet names for her that she comes running just as if id called her 'ruby' - usually a soppy bastardisation like 'rubicles' or 'rubywuby':)

It's a girl and she is three. I call her woog or woogie (pronounced wuggie) which is my own word but people seem to find it a bit daft. I have difficulty pronouncing words in english compared to other people for some reason.

ahh thats cute - i wouldnt worry about what other people think.

I call my guy - "pup" (hes nearly 11, with lots of grey :rolleyes:)... i call him black nose (he responds pretty well - he's a jet black cocker with a big snout with some grey :P) .. he doesnt mind at all ...

Zulu is cool... but im sure she loves her pet name !

I call my boy pig or piggers. It started as an affectionate joke about a year ago and stuck. When I need his attention and he's ignoring me I use his given name and it works lol

I use themes for my offical litter names. One litter was Star Trek. The pup I was keeping show name was 'Resistance is Futile' I wanted his pet name to be on the same theme so I called him Bones.

A little kid in the park asked me what my puppy was called. I told him & he shouted "Here Boner" :-o

By the time I got home 'Bones' had a new name.

Sometimes our dog can be so stubborn and will sit and will not move no matter how often you call his name.

But if I call his name and then say "Look"he is up like a shot
