Name the pupper! (Chelsea_b)

It's official. and I can't come up with ANY names I like.

She's sooo sweet and so friendly. She loves to climb in my lap and lick my face. She met my 7 year old niece earlier and was totally unfazed, still super friendly. And then she met my 17 month old nephew and gave him kisses. It seems she's gonna need some lessons in how to behave around cats, and some doggy socialization... but she's got such a nice temperament I don't think either will be an issue. Poor baby seems to be coming down with kennel cough though, so it'll have to wait a few weeks.

Breed guesses are welcome too! I do see pit now, though in a different way than in the shelter pic. She really doesn't look much like that picture, does she?

Here's the shelter pic:

And here's pics from today:

I see Pit in this cutie as well! Maybe Catahoula/Pit?

I don't have a clue for a name though. Sorry!

Oh wow, what a cuttie!

It's so odd, because I was just browsing the internet and saw a picture of a spotted dog and was thinking how fun it would be to have a dog with that pattern then I open this thread! not sure if this picture is photoshoped but seems similar

The photo said UNIQUE under it. Could "Unique" be a good name for a dog? Seems to have a bit of a ring to it when you say it out loud a few time. (Or maybe I'm just up way too late and making connection that don't make sense?)

I agree, pit/chathoula mix of some sort. The first name that came to mind was Honey? She's so adorable! Give her kisses for me and I hope she feels better soon. :-/

Other names:

Kandee

LuLu

Nala

Effy

I'm not very good with names, especially girl ones. :P

I love her! SHe is beautiful. I am no good with names either, but I'm sure others will have tons of suggestions, as they always do. Stick out tongue

She's adorable! Love her face and coloring. She reminds me of a dog I knew many years ago named Shine.

She's a merle! Really couldn't tell how merle-y she was in the shelter picture. I'd say a APBT mix for sure. Catahoula is a good guess but I'm not sure how popular those guys are in your area. I'd say she could be an Aussie/APBT mix or maybe Aussie/APBT/? mix.

She is beautiful! I'm so happy for you!

I stink at coming up with names, so no help there, but I just wanted to say how cute she is!

Lmbo!!! Thanks for the early morning laughs Deb.

She is adorable, were you waiting at the shelter when the doors opened yesterday? Wink

I am not good at naming other peoples pets. With our usually a few days of getting to know each other and then... a name just seems to come and fit. I do like the name Honey tho. You could change the spelling to "Huny" like Pooh!

I agree, I'd say she probably Aussie/ABPT/?. I deffinitely see some herder in there.

I dont think she is a Catahoula/APBT, Ive seen them before and they dont look much like her. Plus, both of those breeds have very short hair, and in the pictures you can tell she has some scruffy hair on her neck and long feathering on her back legs.

Congratulations! She's really beautiful and looks like a total sweetheart. I can't wait to see more pics and hear more about her.

What a pretty girl! I'm going to guess ACD/Pit mix.

Names? Hmm- Beauty comes to mind.
