Name that Doggie - Page 2

LCF · 12-20-2010, 05:16 AM

Volkodav. (Волкодав)

It's the name originally thouhgt for big hounds/dogs, who can kill a wolf.
The names comes from the words волк which means wolf and давя, which means to chokе. (Wolfchoker?)

But sweet little puppies like the one on the picture are also called volkodavs, because when the wolf sees them, he starts to laugh so hard, he chokes to his death.

You could also try the Bulgarian variation of the name which is written like vAlkodav, but the sound behind the A is ъ. Basically the same sound as tee first one in the word under. Вълкодав.

We've only had him a day and a half. Like all Shih Tzu's he's very brave and will attack anything that moves (especially the cat and leaves).

I'm amazed that it never had occurred to me before, but this time I got a infants playpen to put him in. Bed at one end and blue paper at the other. Also amazingly he hasn't gone potty inside (so far).

How about:

Shawnne or Shaawan

Minghe or kasmier or Jadin or Kadin

Ming Lee or Tang Lee

Quincy or Tumu or Kymble or Kindrick

Pouncer or Jordan or Kalib

Kismet or Tangle or Tumu

Gizmo

Pebbles

Shorty

Buster

Tried to shorten the name of the breed, but somehow I don't think that 'Shi**y' would be appropriate, as he is too cute.

I thought she was going for the reindeer there, until I got to that last one...

Have we named him yet?

There are some good names there, but my wife can't make up her mind.

I even suggested Poohbear, but she said no. When I asked why not she said the doggie wasn't a bear & wasn't yellow. I offered to make the doggie yellow, but she said no to that too.

I am rather amazed. He hasn't peed or pooped anywhere he shouldn’t (blue paper on one side of his play pen or outside)! He even lets us know when he has to go.

Because of the difficulty in potty training the first two Shih Tzu's I thought that they were a retarded breed in that respect. I swear that Kylie used to hold it all in until I came home. I would then take her into the back yard and she'd do absolutely nothing. But when I'd bring her in and turn my back there would be 5 puddles and 2 piles is less than 3 seconds!

Please keep working. Just watch, she'll take one of the first proposed names.

I have to second "Gizmo". He looks just like the little critter in Gremlins (before the transformation).
