if you recall my other thread, i've been looking at bulldogs. it looks like it's finally going to happen. barring any unforeseen circumstances i'm going to be putting a down payment on him this week and picking him up next month (going to california for a week, bad idea to get him home and then have to board him up right away). so help me name the guy.

he's purebred and AKC registered (the last one was half american), i'm going to get him fixed because frankly i'm not going to be showing or breeding him, and i'm trying to think up names. nothing stereotypical (butch, brutus, tank, bruiser, etc), though.

haha, i just put that in the filename because it was spur of the moment. don't think it's a great name for a bully, though.

camp pendleton. family back from the I-Raq, taking care of business out there, so the whole family's tagging along for the ride.

Just give him a persons name........that is what my wife did with our dog.

Could always call him "Magoo"...

I like that.

"Meaty"
"Stumpy"
"Rooster"

How old is he? He's adorable!

about 7 months old. his price has kept anyone from picking him up, i think. the breeders dabble in all breeds, and sell it at a "store" of kinds, but for some reason placed it in a really crumbling neighborhood. so the cheaper breeds and the occasional mutts end up selling faster, while beautiful li'l guys like him get left behind. it's a big reason i decided to go with him instead of waiting for a puppy from another breeder (aside from the fact that i just fell in love with 'im).

i'd peg him at 40-45 pounds now and he's DEFINITELY got some filling out to do. keep him healthy and fit and i'd say he'll sit pretty in the 60 pound area. i don't want him much heavier than that. he's got a lot of loose skin, once it's all filled out he's definitely gonna be a bruiser!

so i'm going to drop off the $400 deposit on tuesday after i vote (civic duty folks, gotta do it), and on the 23rd or 24th of next month i'm gonna swing by and pick him up.

brock looks like a possibility, even though i think b-names are overdone. i found this helluva list: http://www.puppygal.com/names.html lot of good ones on thererufus, ruger, taz, vader, dudley, jaxon, odin, oscar.

magoo's a possibility, stump i've had in mind for a while, and hugo's a good one (if for no other reason than i'm a huge lost fan. hey, hurley?)

Hehe. Good for you. I like two syllable names for dogs(with one syllable words for commands). What about "Walrus"? lol

Buy some books, look into obedience training, and good luck.

I would go with "Snots". You will learn why very soon.

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2008, 07:52:01 AM »

temper, i picked up a few books some time ago. "bulldogs for dummies" being one of them.

i think i've settled on Hurley, actually. i'm a huge LOST fan, so c'mon. what could be more perfect, right?

danielson · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2008, 07:54:08 AM »

well i put the money down on him. spent a good hour or so there playin' with the guy. lemme tell you, he is an amazing fella. incredibly agreeable, playful, sociable to the highest without being aggressive. I was surprised.

hurley is pensive.
