Best dog names you’ve come across

[pendle]

I kept a lab dog pup out of a litter I bred called him Indy after me saying. in you go

Mate had 2 terriers called Minge and Fanny. Priceless when they used to get out and his mam would be walking the streets calling their names

I have had a few dogs some of my favourites were a massive sable GSD called Tiny, Malinois called Bebop and Rock steady, Tyson and Gnasher and a small cocker called Hulk.

A chap I knew had a Springer called Ruger. That's a name for a shooting man's dog.

On of the chaps at work trained his dog in German commands.
He also trained it to "speak" whenever someone sucked their teeth. This is often used by certain sections of the community to show disrespect to those in positions of authority.

Very quickly solved that little issue in his life...

Some police dog-handlers from Hampshire I used to train with a few years ago all set their dogs' "trigger words" as "Pompey Fans". The dogs went mental as soon as this was whispered in their ears. Apparently, it made the prospect of being spat at every Saturday outside a football ground somewhat less tedious...

Sam, and when my daughter asked his middle and last name I told her, Sam the Dog. She told me his initials were STD then. That was followed by my brain melting lol.

We have a picker up on our shoot who has a dog called Teale , when called everyone looks round !

This thread just reminded me of my first and only 18ft fishing boat when i was about 25 ... called it "Wet Dream"

I had a mate in Northern Ireland who kept black patterdales, one of which was called the n word, It got out of his yard one day and he was screaming after it "n*****r I'm gona kick your c**t in when I get hold of you!! Only to peer over the 6ft fence to see one of the few black families in the area walking by I was mortified but no one seemed to bat an eyelid over there

Mate of mine has a Cocker called Jarvis!

 

[gixer1]

"Come Back RED DOT!"

I’d rather he didn’t... although I think he already has....

My Maligators were taught que words too Carl... a simple “help” would fire them up and “play nice” in a crowd would see individuals less as enthusiastic

I was once privileged to attend the leaving do of a DC. He was unusual in that he had come very late to the world of Detectives and had spent most of his working life as a uniformed (do they have plain clothes ones) Dog Handler.

He once won a national award for bravery. During some football related nonsense in London, one faction was trying to storm the up escalators of a Tube station to get to the opposition.
For longer than he should have been, this man and his dog held them as bay.

When I spoke to him about it, he said that the front row of these idiots would get to the top of the escalators and then, faced with the dog and it's full set of teeth, retreat back down the stairs to be replaced by the next row of idiots. This cycle was repeated until reinforcements arrived.

I remember one line from his leaving speech:-

"When I joined the Police, if I stopped someone in the the street, they had to give me their name and address. Now I have to give them mine (name and Station). It is time to go"

Go he did. He went off to Bosnia to recover and identify bodies from that terrible war. You would have thought that he had done enough.

Never met a dog handler I did not like - I owe my life to one (the dog's name was Zeus) but that is another story...

I was once sat in the vets waiting room and the vet came out and called the next animal in. "Squishypoo please" she said with a bemused expression on her face. A rather burly chap stood up holding a puppy - I can't remember exact breed but it wasn't a handbag dog - decent sized thing. The whole waiting room looked at him and there was an air of anticipation. He looked around, shrugged, and said simply "we let the kids name it".

 

[JockStalk]

Neices pal has a westie called Kanye.

Kanye Westie.

(I had to ask - apparently a ‘rapper’)

I was going to name my next dog after Kanye West but my wife disapproved.

She thought "Talentlesstwat" was too long...

 

[geth]

saw a chap once with two springers called Hinge and Bracket. I thought that was ace!

 

[jonnah]

A few years ago a shooting colleague had a pair of terriers called Munch and Crunch.

 

[pj1]

Used to collect hay from a farm where the Doberman was called sugar.
We have a dachshund who pushes in if the other dog is getting attention. My brother has named him Brian ferry. As he’s a jealous guy.
a good friend also named the dachshund badger boy. As in autumn it sounds like your walking a badger through the woods

Gerald Durrell's dogs were called Widdle and Puke - I found that amusing

A guy I joined up with joined Kent after leaving the forces

He worked with a dog called Exocet - unfortunately Exocet, once let loose, was less concerned with friend or foe as he was 'any target will do'

Not so much 'fire and forget' as fire and get out the effing way'
