My Dos Pesos
Many dog behaviorists say that a dog brain responds better and more immediately to a call name with hard consonants.
One of our female Great Danes is named Tica and her sister is named Kapu.
Recently, our gate was accidentally left open and we had two young Great Danes racing for the highway.
When I yelled "Kapu", there was no response. When I yelled "Tica, both of them immediately turned around and came back.
Cue to dog mama locking up the puppies and then collapsing on the couch.

Right you are, Gypsy. Been that way forever. My dog training mentor said a strong sounding name of only 1 or 2
sylables max was ideal for all dogs...and mandatory for hunting breeds. John Wolter and his books about a revolutionary & rapid dog trianing are
still part of any dog trainers library.
Keep the name short and strong.
Consider this name..Kodak. As in Kodak-Eastman Film Co.
Kodak — Both the Kodak camera and the name were the invention of founder George Eastman. The letter "K" was a favourite with Eastman; he felt it a
strong and incisive letter. He tried out various combinations of words starting and ending with "K".
He saw three advantages in the name.
It had the merits of a trademark word,
- would not be mis-pronounced
-and the name did not resemble anything in the art.
Asked about the name "Kodak", George Eastman replied,
"Philologically, the word Kodak is as meaningless as a child’s first ’goo’—terse, abrupt to the point of rudeness, literally bitten off by firm and
unyielding consonants at both ends, it snaps like a camera shutter in your face. What more would one ask!"
David Houston, inventor of many patents bought by George Eastman, lived in North Dakota and may have suggested the word "Nodak" to Eastman.
The camera proved such an enormous success that the word Kodak was incorporated into the original company name...Eastman Co.
Thought you might like this little tidbit on "How to choose a name."
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Hi Ron and Patty - you're not going to believe this, but when Bev and I went out to BD the day after we rescued her, we were walking her and talking
about a new name for her. We settled on "Bonita". Isn't that strange that was your first name too?
Meant to be?

Carrick ...........it's a Irish name that represents a dweller of rocky land. Perhaps you can add a "o" to the namo

Names with three syllables usually get the first syllable dropped.
So if you name her Bonita, she will end up being "Nita". A nice name.
Names with two syllables and ending in a vowel are easier to say and easier for the dog to understand.
Just ask our four dogs: Mika, Suki, Coco.
Loreto ended up being Reto.

Ju gottie, or You got it... Perroro, possibly means "one who farts"..

Sorry to hear that they just filed bankruptcy. When I worked for the government I had several contracts with them for building bomb fuzes. They
snapped in your face in adifferent way.

The letter "K" was a favorite of Eastman's; he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter." He and his mother devised the name
Kodak with an anagram set. Eastman said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short; one cannot
mispronounce it, and it could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak.
It has also been suggested that "Kodak" originated from the suggestion of David Houston, a fellow photographic inventor who held the patents to
several roll film camera concepts that he later sold to Eastman. Houston, who started receiving patents in 1881, was said to have chosen "Nodak" as a
nickname of his home state, North Dakota (NoDak). This is contested by other historians, however, who cite that Kodak was trademarked prior to Eastman
buying Houston's patents.

I have two red Golden Retrievers and have followed this thread (and the other) with great interest. Our two dogs are females and go by the names of
Cabo and Tecate. So whatever name you come up with it will be perfect.
Just remember with red Golden Retriever's the game of fetch never ends, there is no water hole too digusting that a quick swim is bad and you will
never - ever have to empty out a dog bowl because there was extra food left in it!
Best of luck with your new family companion and good luck with trying to remember who the boss is!!!
Come visit us up in Mulege.

My buddy's dog was named Bill. It was so simple and uncomplicated. Nobody ever had to wonder silently, "I wonder why his name is Bill?" So many
other names would elicit that question, but not Bill.
