Yes change that name for sure  I think chargerboy69 is right "Eddie" and you can still call him E for short.

[Khyron]

Is he a lap dog? He is redish... how about Bronze? 

Sorry, I'm not very original

[General_01]

You could name him "Bo" since he likes to jump.

A Mopar related name, even though your trying to avoid them, might be "Shaker"

Otherwise, name him after Big Jakes dog and just name him "Dog".

I'd just give it more time and see what comes to you. Almost every pet I've had has gotten a nickname based on its personality that ended up being better than the standard name I gave it. Our dog was named Jessie while at the animal control facility but we eventally came up with the name Poobah after a few years of being around her. I had a tomcat when I was a kid that I gave the standard name Tiger and that eventually turned into Tigger which eventually turned into Digger. Just let it slide and see what you come up with on your own.

call him zeek

[skip68]

What about " Flash?" hehehe! Just kiddin! But I always liked skippy, skipper, bruzer, Cooter, or Scooter! I used to have a minature Akita that was black, so I called her "Ninja!" She was a great dog.

Hey Troy,

Ever see the Steve Martin movie called "The Jerk"?

I don't think you and I are close enough for me to be naming pets after you...

That's my dad's name so not likely.

He thinks he's a lap dog but that won't last (I hope!). No, not very original.

You could name him "Bo" since he likes to jump.

Otherwise, name him after Big Jakes dog and just name him "Dog".

I had considered "Bo" (especially since I'll likely get a black dog soon), not sure about "Shaker", but I call him "Dog" most of the time now. This works since my nieces can only say "dog, dog" as they're chasing him around. One asked me if she could hold his leash and I had visions of a screaming child bouncing through the mud at high speed behind him (see the comment above about pulling). It would have been funny buuuuut...

bull: That's the way it's shaping up right now.

Mrs.Skip68: I thought about Flash when he first got here since he has those big hound dog jowls and he slept a lot. Definitely nothing like Rosco's Flash now! I almost got a black and white Akita mix but he got adopted by someone else. Ninja would be a cool name for one.

Yeah Bryan, I know - but thanks for pointing that out. 

Mally: Buddy, Butch, Boo, and Frank are definitely out (other dogs in the family).

Yeah, but I'm a 68 guy...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! He still ignores any name that I call him but he comes bounding across the room if I whistle or snap. We start commands training tonight so that should be entertaining. I think "stay" will be the primary goal. We practiced exiting the vehicle several times yesterday and he's much better when he's worn out from evading small children - probably because I can shut off the engine, remove my seatbelt, and hop out the door before he wakes up enough to know what's going on.

how about ANGUS that is what i called my black lab.  he died a few years ago . he was a good hunter . don

[drifter69]

  I like angus, but I live for AC/DC, I had a dog named brody, I liked that name cause it was easy to yell.

[Tilar]

I always thought Diesel was a cool name for a dog.

That's fitting actually - he pulls like one. The other dogs stop when they get wrapped up or stuck but he just hunkers down and pulls until something snaps. He's plowed over a couple of small trees and broke a limb off another already.

It may be an off name for a Dodge man, But if he really is like that, PowerStroke might be a funny change of pace.

[andy74]

Just don't ask a niece like I did or you get answers like Kevin and Stan. 

My last dog was named Chief and I have always liked that name. For something different than what was already mentioned your dog looks like a Reggie to me.   

[71_deputy]

buddy on mine had a dog similar to yours- his was Molson- like the beer- brown!

[Khyron]

Name him "Cat"

Troy,

I hope I can help you with some names! Our dog (14 mo old German Shepherd puppy) was named Roxy by my 8-year old daughter before we got her (Christmas gift). My pet names for her are "Ditz", and "Sharp Tooth" (a bit mouthy, but all puppies go through this) and Toots (don't ask). She is as blond as her sister and Mom (my daughter and wife  ) but loves to chase balls, herd other dogs and eat people food.

Some other dogs she runs with, out at our local dog park, are Mira (black lab), Hershey (chocolate lab), Daisy (Beagle), Foster (Aussie sheep dog), Kuma (tiny sheep dog), Kehei (pit bull mix), Tan (tan colored pit bull mix) and Bella (another Beagle). In-laws have Shepherds (Buddy D and Arcus) and Chocolate labs (Kody (short for Kodiak) and Molly). I hope these names help, but eventually the canines name themselves.

Sounds alot like my dog, hell on 4 legs and loves to run. His names Buster and we've had him for about 2 years, had a black lab named Duke also and a golden retriever named Copper.

[Neal_J]

He looks like an "Indy" to me.

"I got a lot of fond memories of that dog..."

Name the movie.
