Help me name a new rescue pup!

I am about to commit to driving 15 hours to rescue this guy from Oklahoma, and bring him home to Colorado. :)
He was abandoned in a housing development, and I intend to give this kid a full, wonderful life among huskies. With snow and stuff.

Help me name him! The family fostering him has been calling him Jack for the 10 days they've had him, but I've known too many huskies named Jack. Plus one who left us too young not too long ago.

Any suggestions? :D

I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself.

He looks like a Chester sort of. Enjoy him! He's beautiful! :)

What a beautiful dog!

I have NO idea what to call him, though.....

But he is gorgeous!


:hi:

I have a Siberian, too. Gorgeous dogs. I hope you have a fenced in yard! :) Good luck with him.

...Plus a few other husky accessories. ;)

I just love huskies! Here's mine.....

He's GORGEOUS!

Had a huskie I called St Nick. Not the same colouring though, but Nick's a nice name.

Sasha, or is that a name for females only maybe?

Micha

You've done a good thing, he's gorgeous. May you have many runs in the snow together :)

Or if you want to confuse him, name him Otis and Boogie.

I'm such a numbskull on such matters... maybe some regional thing? Otis got me thinkin'... :D

Hell, everything between the coasts is considered the South here. :D

Actually, Otis comes from a pup I had in college. Black lab with a little white goatee, and I was into Otis Redding at the time.

for short. Good looking, and soon to be.. lucky dog... there.


Tikki

so when you train him you can say "Here Kitty kitty kitty" and freak people out.

Mutley recommended. They didn't have my dog's name!

I always like to wait and check-out the dog's personality.

Absolutely beauiful animal!!!

:toast:

If anything, he looks like Peter Forsberg! :D

eeeeeeeeee'res a bright golden haze on the meadooooooooow!" :rofl:

OK, 10 points. Good one. :thumbsup:

"It ain't so much a question of not knowing what ter do . . ."

:rofl:

Nordic dog- Nordic name.

He looks like a Pete. Or Baxter.

He's really a beautiful critter.

:dem:

to me. :-)

as in Jack London. Call of the Wild. It's perfect!

Stud Muffin
Lord Rex

I'll see if I can think of some other cool names that look like they might fit him. :)

Until then, an affectionate nickname is all he needs.

Congratulations. He's gorgeous.

Me, I always wait a short while until his personality suggests a name, but from the pics alone I'd say he looks like a Walter. Or maybe a Luther. Possibly a Raymond.

My instincts lead me there...or maybe Anansi. :)

I've recently had to move and leave my two Husky babies (hehe, 4 and 5.5 years, respectively) behind with my parents...my heart is heavy and these pics brought tears to my eyes...But, I will get to see them again this Sunday, my Buddy the Pound Puppy and Stripe the Hyper sprint racer girl... :bounce:

aren't they the most loveable animals on earth? i think so :)

:pals:

Looks like the name would fit him well :)

i just adopted a rescue dog from Oklahoma! Brought her back to CA. A friend had saved her and kept her for the last year until I could take her.

Her name is Seneca, she's 10 years old, is a Border Collie mix, had a couple of really abusive owners, one of whom meanly docked her tail in the middle of a joint and kicked her a lot. She's a gentle, loving people/kid oriented dog. She's going to have a good life the rest of her life. She's beautiful, seems to understand language really well, obeys commands and is not a destructive dog considering all she's been through. She has a small abandonment issue, but can stay home inside alone for hours. She loves ot be brushed and right now is lying at my feet :-)

At the vet in OKC




On the road relaxing in the motel on the way to CA




At Home as of Sunday afternoon!

Cute pup! What is it with Oklahoma? :D

There is a whole group around here that has husky's and they are all named after Alaskan cities. My brothers is Fairbanks, we also have a Juneau, Homer, and Nome. There is something about a Husky that they should be named that way.

I like this poster's idea and just wanted to throw in Alaska as a possible name too.
You might want to try some Canadian place names too, like Yukon, Hudson , Toronto, Winnie (Winnipeg).

:evilgrin:

:rofl:

It seems to suit him :-)

Husker Du, for the husky thing

and of course Du, for DU


howzat?

I'd go with that.

He's a beautiful dog. :)

:D

He has that classic Kraunschfeldesberger look about him, don't you think?

:rofl:

They eyes betray that brooding, and yet somehow happy, Kraunschfeldesberger look that many still associate with Ludmilla, when she was young, before her bitter marriage to the Baron von Reisterdorfmeister and her exile to the teams that worked the frozen Elbe.

Those were sad times, and best not spoken of.

Did you personally know old Torsten Hans Kraunschefeldesberger? He was a top dog, indeed.

I merely bow to the master. :)

He's a beauty!

If you've seen Clerks, you'll know why I didn't post my second choice. :D

Seriously, how about the Belgian/French pronounciation of Achilles? Ah-Sheel. I kinda like the sound of that.

Doesn't seem consonant enough. As in "Ah-Sheel! Get your head out of that sack of manure! NOW!!" :D

As in:
Charlie Parker
Parker Sweepers
Parker Stephenson
Quanah Parker (mentioned below)
Poop-Sack Parker
Parker is a Dingbat
Park 'er Around the Corner for 20 Bucks?
Ball Parker
Ball Python
Monty Python
Monty Parker Slept Here in 1979

........

OK. I'm out of ideas.

I usually name my animals after blues or jazz musicians, with the exception of our rescued schnauzer who was pre-named "Bella". (Although, I do pronounce it BAY-la, as in Bela Bartok)

He was a white kid raised by Native Americans in the old Oklahoma Territory.

Copper conducts electricity well. That dog will add a jolt to the household, for sure!

"Copper occupies the same family of the periodic table as silver and gold,"

Well, now, look at that lovely color! And that dog will become a precious member of the team. He joins the other valuable dogs and the group gets stronger... just like copper is used to make alloys...

Copper

Our husky; she's called Shadow. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of a fenced in yard but she does roam free at my in-laws... plenty of land to roam around and plenty of woods too.

PS: He's gorgeous.

Mark.

Good luck! Pretty dog ... :hi:

His colors kind of remind me of a truffle, and because of the name, people will associate your dog with deliciousness! :)

Of course, I've never been good with pet names. That's why my dogs are named Goldie and Spud.

At any rate, good on you for taking in a rescue puppy. I adopted my older labrador retriever from the pound and she's been the best, sweetest companion we've ever had.

Fox and the Hound was one of my favorites growing up. Haven't read it in ages though.

what about Buck. The best dog I ever had was named Buck. And Jack London's Buck was a snow dog. Plus thank you for rescuing him. I have a foster kitten sitting on my lap right now. We can only save as many as people will adopt.
