Serra da Estrela Dog

We need suggestion for cool puppy names !!!!

Give me your best ............

aww cute dog,

heres a few names i can think of...

Rusty..

Bandit....

pippa....

Sparky....

Duke....

this is how i do it

i go by the country of origin of the breed.

i.e. german shepard = irwin, heinz, karl, gunter, heidi, klaus, fritz

of course you would also take in the account the dogs gender.

You could always call him Hellmutt...

thanx for the suggestion, and you can keep more coming ,...

this breed is aPotuguese Mountain Shepperd Dog...there are breed to protect the catle from wolves and occasional linx... they are left alone during the winter up in the mountains with the cattle (sheep, goats). they are udge, like big wolves, but they are gentle, very loyal and protective of children...

keep more suggestions coming ...

i also thought of Zeus, or Thor ....Shadow, Lobo....

here's a few that just popped into my head from somewhere!
Alfie, Rebel, Harvey , Wilbur.

That is how we named our dogs as well. Since these dogs were named for a mountain range in Portugal - I would choose something from that country. A couple I found:

Pico - the tallest portugese mountain
Viriathus - hero
Mondego - a river
Tejo - largest river

of course there's always Rex, Killer, and Scruffy.

I want two pits, Chaos(male), Order(female).

I've got a basset hound named Norman....it suits him perfectly. Try and pick a new that suits the animal.

I knew this dog who just recently died that was named Hottie. He was like an overweight huge beagle. He was funny as hell. lol you could use hottie if you want.

Others:
Sid
Bepo(good croatian name)
Skywalker,C3po(anything from starwars)
luka( I know a dog named luka and he's funny)
Rocky( again no a dog)

I looked at quite a few pics..including pups..

what comes to mind?

Bear (body shape)
Smokey (coloring)

Samson (just sounds powerful)
Leonardo (my newest pup's name) he looks like a bear too..

what about kitty now that would be confusing

I had told him about the Viriato name, because its Portuguese, but he said he wanted USA names ...> lol

....A friend of mine did that to his cat, but of course vice versa...Her name is Puppy

I actually recently lost a dog of mine....My pit, Dante....He was only a year old, but he developed renal failure ....Very unfortunate and untimely.....Add to that the fact that it's the same disease my parent's previous dog had - He lived quite a bit longer, but had a chronic condition, which is near impossible to spot the signs of until it's too late....

At any rate....You're getting a cute little puppy...enough about death....

What I wanted to say was, I think you should wait and give it some time....The best name you can give a dog is one that matches his personality....That's why I named mine Dante....He was a little devil with an overabundance of charm
