[Eric Weller]

Alright guys I need a little help here.

[Zach Matthews]

Please understand that this is completely apolitical, but utterly hilarious.

[Mike McKeown]

I go with Fetch…lol

I got some African ones if you want, Zulu or Xhosa…

just tell me what you want it to mean, I’ll get it translated, could be pretty cool…

Come Here = Whosa, pronounced wo-za
Here, Take This = Thatala, pronounced Ta-ta-la
Put it inside = Phagati, pronounced Pa-ga-ti

My lab is now 6 yrs old and showing no signs of slowing down but the thought of adding a pup has started to creep into my thoughts. I chose Storm for my current yellow labs name, but

I have had several goldens and a lab.

[lee church]

My vote is either Browning, Remington, or Damn-it….you pick.

[Eric Weller]

she has learn to sit, speak, lay down Off the damn couch and

Dont S&*T in the floor , go outside!!<<< that one she learned fast!! if you roll up a newspaper she runs to her little corner and lays down.
But the only thing she has yet to understand,
is not to beg for food and stay out from under me when I cooking

One of my duck hunting friends innocently enough named his current lab SIX.

One of the best dogs I have ever had was named “Kitty” and we always got some of the strangest looks when calling her. “Here Kitty Kitty…”

Many trainers I have talked to say that one syllable

[anonymous]

we got one named “hooter’

we renamed one “lefty” cuz one day he up and left.

[duncan elkins]

we got one named “hooter’

we renamed one “lefty” cuz one day he up and left.  a week later showed up with porcupine quills in his face.  at which point we renamed him “lucky”

Yeah, I had a friend who named a dog Wanda, “because one day she just wanda-d up.”

I’m lobbying hard for a puppy so I can name it Knowshon, but my GF says I have to build her a fence, first.  

Knowshon’s own dog is named “Papi,” BTW.

Okay some of the names being thrown around at this time are;
Murphy

[andrew brown]

[bryan d. hulse]

My next male pup will be “Under” as in Under Dog.

[chris c. crane]

What about naming the dog after a state or provincial park?

We named our last lab after a provincial park

Grundy

[Matt Jones]

Here is the list of names I have come up for the male lab I would like:

“Ranger”
“Trout”
“Buckley”
“Woodford”
“Coctosin” (yes, from the movie Fletch) A wee bit goofy and strange, but it could fit the right dog.

I have more written down somewhere, but those are my favorite anyways.

We’ve had four golden retrievers and have named them all for places we were living at the time we got them:

Chadbourne (Chad) — street in Shaker Heights, OH
Halliday (Hal) — street in St. Louis
Barrington (Barry, Bear) — town outside Chicago
Rio — living on the Guadalupe River in Central Texas
