New Puppy

[^T-bird89^]

Okay, well I just got a new puppy from someone who couldn't keep him. (So its a boy). He is an Australian Cattle Dog (a RED heeler). His name is ZIP right now but i don't like that. He is only about 7weeks old I think, and I want to give him a unique western name. I'm not 100% sure I can keep him at this point, but does anyone have any name ideas?

(I'll post pics tomorrow- I just got him a couple hours ago!!!)

Aww... How's about STETSON? WRANGLER? CHAPS? TEX?

I have a friend with a dog named Roper.......or how about Dallas, Dusty, Garrett, Apache, Scout or Bullet? OK, my brain is fried now...........good luck and can't wait to see pic's.

Rodeo, Sandy (all old cowboys had "sand"), Cutter (for cuttin' horse), Pecos, Rounder

The only one that I can think of right now is "Slim". When I was little, we lived on a good sized farm and had a farm hand named Slim. He was a pretty neat feller.

Congratulations on the new puppy, I hope you get to keep him

Dally, Spur, Ty, Cash, Red

Guess that's all I can come up with right now.

My nephew had a blue heeler named Tack. I've always thought Cowboy would be a cool name too. I had a Rotty for about 3 days that I was going to name that but my other coonhound decided he couldn't live here. :no:

Hey, Congrats on your new little puppy. How about an Australian - Western name of Quigley (Down Under??) Just came to me. I really like that movie.

: Keeping my fingers crossed that you get to keep him.

:aktion033: Okay thanks for all the great ideas!!! Keep them coming! I thought of about 100 names and alot of them are on here so I'm on the right track for something western! I also liked Tucker, Tanner, Skid, Skip, and Andy- not really cowboy but i like them. I just want a lot to see what fits. lol. Oh and here are the pics I promised!

:

I really hope i can keep him but i have to talk to my stepdad first. Mom's a sucker for cute faces like me and she already said yes. :bgrin

 

[PaintedPromiseRanch]

mom did not say yes... but mom did not say no either... that's because mom :bgrin knows how much you miss your Sadie

: (for the forum, Sadie was also a red queensland heeler, she died a couple of years ago)

and yes your mom is a sucker for any baby... which is why we already have EIGHT DOGS

:

i still like Cyrus the best (because when Lindsey was little she loved Billy Ray Cyrus - and i like unusual names, i don't think there are too many dogs named Cyrus out there!)

you should have taken a picture of him from the back or top - to show his spots!!!

oh Karen, i love my husband dearly but he IS a tough nut to crack. i am still in the "doghouse" from our number 8 LOL... and Shasta is a year old now.

: i am such a sucker for any kind of animal babies that i have to stay out of this one... on the one hand i really want Lindsey to be able to keep him, because of losing Sadie, and on the other hand, she is about to start college, just got her first job a couple of months ago and is already having a little trouble juggling school and work and of course what gets left out is her chores at home... if she keeps this little guy and he has a long healthy life he will still be around long after she turns 30, and she is just turning 18 this month. it's a lot to take on when you look at it like that. however, back to the other side of the argument, i know that a dog adds so much to life and i would never be without several myself... i want her to be happy but i want her to take a serious look at the next few years of her life because the dog deserves to be happy too..
