I'm getting a new rescue dog

[Markbo]

I need a little feedback.

I lost my long time companion miniature schnauzer this past February and am just now feeling up to finding another small dog. I finally decided on a schnauzer mix. I think he is going to be great. The only thing I don't like is his name - "Robbie" which I want to change. The guidance I need is how did ya'll decide on a dogs name? My last dog - that I still have - I knew I wanted something gun related and chose Colt. Fits him perfectly.

I could go with another gun related name or not for this new little guy. How do ya'll decide? Maybe a pic will help. Photobucket is not working right now, but I will post a pic later when I can - maybe that will help.

looks like it should be cheap to feed but hard to find

Hard to see in this pic, but he is blind in his right eye. He needed to be rescued

Cute little fellow! No suggestion for a name, but God bless and keep you for giving him a forever home.

I don't even try to name a dog at first.
eventually they just get one or you end up calling them something else anyway.

[Pine Baron]

Dang if he don't look like a "Robbie" to me.

NAming dogs ought to be an art form. Maybe it is, actually??? I usually just sit and watch it play, and let some name hit me out of the blue that seems to "fit" that particular dog. My last one before I got my new pup was named "Sugar," and I didn't much like that name at first, but after having her a short time, she was so sweet in disposition that I felt it was one of the most apt names I'd ever had for a dog. If you can figure out naming dogs or children, you're smarter than I am! Just go with your instincts, intuition, and sort out the impulses that result, and make a choice that you feel good about. Just don't feel like you have to name it right away. You may even want to stick with "Robbie." You could do worse, I think.

Robbie, short for Rob Roy McGregor a bad dude , Blinker, Winkie, Popeye. You'll find one that fits and that's a good looking woof !

Rescue dogs are the only dogs to get. I loathe and despise breeders. Too many animals need homes now to purposefully breed more.

My last two dogs have been rescues. The only thing with a rescue dog [for me] They just reinforce the fact that I think more of a good dog than 99% of humans on earth.
Would that I had to power; I would leave a swath of blood and death to all those who raise a cruel hand to an animal.

Congratulations on the new pup...


He obviously needs a good home and I am sure you will provide that.

Do be aware that in short order it will be his home and you will be relegated to waitstaff status...they take over very quickly.

I know....I have a couple of half-grown Lab pups (18-months old) who rule the estate with paws of iron.
