Name this dog!

[Yooper]

Ok, we found a dog at an animal shelter about an hour away from us, and we paid for him. We can't pick him up until March 19 (long story) so we have time to name him. What we know: probably purebred yellow lab. Very smart and very gentle and laid back. Probably 9-11 months old.

Bob wanted a Native American name, since this animal shelter is on Potawatomi land. He thought of "Koda" which is a Sioux word meaning "Friend" or "Ally".

I'm not too sure. Here he is:

Any ideas for naming him?

That is one awesome dog! Congratulations!

I'd name him Bubba!

looks like a good dog. Koda doesn't sound like a bad name.

 

[Steiner]

I like Koda as well. I think it suits him. Good looking dog. Good work!

 

[Melana]

What a handsome boy. You have such a big heart Lorena.

And Koda suits him well.

I remember hearing "Two Dogs Fuuking" was a famous Native American name...

...Koda doesn't sound like a bad name.

Or maybe Kona...like the pale ale...

This is a beer forum after all

How about Lager!

Too bad he's just a pup, you could call him Old Yooper!

I like the name Koda -- and its meaning makes it even more special.

Thank you for adopting a dog from a shelter. There are so many good dogs out there that need a 2nd chance in a loving home.

Seroiusly, Koda is a very nice name.

I agree with you- I would never consider a dog from any where else. We've looked a lot recently, and it's heart breaking that people get puppies and then don't train them and then dispose of them when they are too big and untrained. We've seen several nice dogs who need much more training and discipline than we can give, though, so we've been just waiting for the right one for us.

All of my cats have always come from shelters, as well.

Bob said NO to any thing with the word "Yooper" in it!

Well, that's a good direction. My husband is 100% Russian, but doesn't speak it so we didn't know that. I told him these and he said, "Hmmmmmm".

See, I'd call him Bob. My first choice for naming anything is Bob, though, so that's not a stretch. Unfortunately in your house that'd be confusing.

And I'll second (or third or fourth, by now) the thank you. Rescue animals are the best...my catboy's a rescue (from the great outdoors, not a shelter), and he's the best friend I can imagine. You're a nice lady, Yooper.
