Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

How about JET? As in quadra jet, or fast like a jet, or carb jet? My golden retriever took about three years to calm down. She will always be where ever you are, and you will not want it any other way! "SARGE" is laying at my feet as I post this.

She got a little too wound up tonight and got in a bit of trouble. As such, she will be spending the rest of the night in her kennel.

This little girl's gonna take some work.

I'm getting the impression she didn't get much in the way of discipline with her p/o. She's getting it now (no violence), and she's more than a little displeased. (not much in the way of howling or whining, thankfully)

I've raised approximately a dozen different dogs since I was a kid, the last two being a pair of Golden Retrievers (a male [1992-2005] and female [1995-2008]). FWIW, re: the Goldens, their groomers consistently complimented me on how they were some of the best-behaved dogs they had ever worked with. I was very proud of those two.

Of all the dogs I've owned, this little ding-dong is w.o a doubt the most high-strung. She is <span style="font-weight: bold">very</span> smart (reminds me of my Goldens), and is learning basic commands remarkably easily. She is very good when she's behaving, but when she misbehaves, she <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> misbehaves. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

As far as a name, we're trying a new one on for size right now.

As I want this to be her dog, I'm trying to let Rachel make the final call on a name with this one since she has never had a dog of her own. This is why I don't want to name her &quot;Holley&quot; (although I think it's a great name). Naming her Holley would obviously imply I made the choice, and I don't want to take that away from Rachel.

Back in the 80's a friend and I were following sprint cars. He had a boarder collie named &quot;Stagger&quot; It was a good fit.

Still not sure where everything stands with her right now. As much as I hope this works out, there are other priorities that take precedence over this.

Touch and go for now...

&quot;Stagger&quot;..that's Cumby's nickname for Howie [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

I like Holley too, maybe Rochester?

Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

Rochester's a boy's name.

How about Delco? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

Here's a clue to the name we're considering now;

If you know who this child actress from the 1930's is, you'll know the name--and more importantly, why it was chosen (lol).
