Here he is, Border Terrier.

We have been able to agree on a few names but can't pick one for sure. We have Ackely, Mojo, and Jax.

I like to name a dog for what their like. Some attribute or how I adopted them. I had a pointer I named Bubba. Because I rescued him from a prison parking lot where he'd been dumped

If it was a Jack russell, Loki would be a sure bet.

Our half lab/ half GSD is named Jax (actually Ajax but shortened). That or Mojo is good. How about Scout?

Borders are 'supposed' to be one of the calmest of the terrier breeds, still hyper obviously but very calm as far as terriers go, and very trainable. We'll see laugh

It was great to hear him call his dog.

Dan, that dog is out of control!!! laugh

The Border Terriers are a bit more calm, but like any other dog, you find individuals in any litter that peg out the spectrum.

The breeder and I chose my GSD due to his sociability and laid back nature. He's really slow speed for a dog that comes from working lines...only takes 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours a day to wear the edges off him. grin

I suspect a Border terrier would require a tad more...

But speaking of positive reinforcement, if he turns out to be pretty high drive you might consider prey-drive based training...basically rewarding with some toy time and yourself instead of treats. Drivey dogs will work miracles for a little play time with you.

Posted By: heavywalker Re: Help name our puppy - 12/29/14
I figured as much, problem with smart dogs is they control you, not the other way around, but, they let you think you are in control. Gonna be fun, for sure.

I haven't had a puppy for 12 years. Hopefully I can still keep up.

They have a strong drive for food and chasing small critters. Lots of people have reported much success utilizing these methods for training. This breed responds extremely poorly to harsh corrections.

Well, if you go that route-and you probably should- remember this tip from the Uber Dog Trainer. The toy needs to be interactive ( meaning you have to be connected to it) in order to generate the most fun and energy expenditure. This means frisbee, tug of war, tug with a kong on a rope is my favorite reward...but the dog prefers to play with you, not just with the toy. You'll be amazed at what they'll do for a little toy time.

When I got my two labs I had meant to register them, but for the life of me couldn't come up with any names... for day's just spent hours diddling with pencil and paper!

Wife comes in and just say's name them "Cinnamon" and "Taffy", just like that and it fit both of them.

Deed Done, and she hadn't even thought about it.

Booger. Brutus. Rip. Zip. Ted. Cowboy. Davey. Ace.



The three town dogs in Ethel, MO, where my wife and I lived the first three years of our marriage were "Git-Down", "Shut-up", and "Dammit". The Santa Fe mainline between Chicago and Kansas City comes through the middle of town and the trains run up to 90 mph, averaging around 75 mph. As they got older, Shut-up and Dammit got killed by trains. Git-Down was a smart ol' cuss and he took up with some of the wife's cousins, south of the tracks, and lived to a very ripe old age.

Last July while staying with my wife's cousin and her husband, they picked up a new Maine Coon kitty cat. She couldn't think of a name for him so I told her, finding a name for a cat is easy, just name him Steve.

She decided to name him Tobey but we still call him Steve.

Thanks, it has been a rough few weeks around here. Wife and kids got me a framed picture of Sammy (our lab) for my birthday. We hung it on our family wall.

This little guy won't replace her but he will sure fill a big void in our home.

We decided on Mojo, BTW.

A lab will leave a hole in your heart but they also filled it 10 times over before that

Okay, here's my 2 cents.

Reno

My Grandfather (a wise man) once said. A good dog like that should be named Reno.

He lived to be 105. I asked, what is his secret to a long life, he told me-- A good Stogie and a shot of Brandy every day.

He and I had this joke going the last few years of his life, I would ask, "Hows it hanging today Papa, he would always answer, and say-It's hanging at six-thirty, then he would laugh.

Everybody who has a dog calls him "Rover" or "Spot" I made the mistake of calling mine "Sex".

Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to city hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one too!" Then I said, "But this is for a dog." He said, "I don't care what she looks like." Then I said, "You don't understand, I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said, "You must have been quite a kid."

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. Not wanting the dog to bother us, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the place was for sex. I said, "You don't understand, Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a dog show, before the competition began, another contestant asked me what I was doing. I told him that I planned to have Sex in the show. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. When I asked if the show was televised he called me a pervert.

I left my dog at the Veterinarian. When I went to pick him up I said, "I've come for my dog." She said, "Which one, Spot or Rover?" I said, "What about Sex?" She slapped me. After I straightened out the misunderstanding, I asked if Sex was good for her. She slapped me again.

Sex ran away, I went to the dog pound. As I was looking in all the cages the operator came up to me. I said I'm looking for Sex. He said I was looking in all the wrong places.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married." He said, "What's your point, so did I." I said, "But my wife wants to take Sex away." He said, "That's what happens in a divorce."

Last night Sex ran off. I spent hours looking for him all over town. A cop came over to me and asked, "What are you doing in this alley at 4 o'clock in the morning?" I said I was looking for Sex.

My case comes up Friday.
