not a human addition. We've been looking for a second dog for a while.
The rescue we work with brought up a littler of Rotweiler/Shepherd mixes from Arkansas they call shotties or rottie shepherds or shepweiler - whatever, it's going to be a big dog.
We had the meet and greet tonight and our dog and family all got along great with him. So we pick him up Friday.
He is 11 weeks old right now and has paws like a lion, the people at the rescue said they expect him to grow to 75 - 100 pounds.
We are not keeping the current name, so trying to come up with a better one, any suggestions? I'll post a picture in the next post since I can't get images to work in the OP.
So, I'll play - how 'bout Buddy?
He's a dude, that's kind of a chick name or at least a feminine male.
chain saw?
not sure I got that one - might have gone right over my head.

That may go a long way in naming him.

It was a shot in the dark but there was a thread about acts of God and trees in neighbors yards and who was responsible. I thought that was a funny thread and thought it was you.
I like that, unique.
My next door neighbors dog is Indiana Jones, they call him Indy. A beagle, such a great dog.

I remember the thread, I have had that happen too, but don't remember if I started the thread.
Rot in German is Red, so making a Giants connection, “Big Red” Alex Webster.
So how about “Alex” or “Webster”?
Big Red - ( New Window )
My kids want Pasta (for Pastrnak), Tuukka, Chara, and Charlie so far.
I like Charlie but we have not settled yet because we don't love it and the neighborhood already has a Charlie (a golden doodle)
I like some of these suggestions.

Fine, now I feel bad since I made you sad.
I'll suggest it, but my kids consider Brett the male Karen so I doubt they support it.

Ralph. So when I see a Rott or Rott mix I think Ralph.

He kinda looks like a Webster.
Good on ya pjcas. Enjoy that pup
We had a foster I named Barkley. Nice little dog. Found a good home.
I do like Tonka though, that's cool.
thanks again. I'll report back what we settle on.
We pick him up Friday, than god so I have time to puppy proof the house. Our other dog is 6 and she's like a teenager (well some teenagers), so lazy.
the whole family picks the name, we can't think of a good one, so I'm asking a group of creative people (BBI) for some suggestions (which I will present to the family).
A lot of good ideas generated by the collective minds of BBI.
One recent suggestion from one of my kids is Milo. I don't hate it.

In the long run it will mean more to all of you than using a name cone up with from someone here. Just my two cents.

Thats not bad, especially since one of them came up with it. You only have so many pets in the years a family is together under one roof so imo it’s far more special that naming one is a family “thing”.
Good luck and enjoy him, dogs are the best!
Thanks, and thanks again for all the comments and replies.
We're pretty excited. Our other dog is a 25 pound Corgi/Jack Russel mix who is the best dog you can imagine. I think she will enjoy a friend. We foster dogs pretty regularly, usually puppies, and she gets along with all of them so this won't seem new to her except we will be keeping this one.
"Guinness"
as seen here:

This seems good. My dog was named Baxter which is also a great name.
But just wanted to say good luck and so great you are doing a rescue...we have one from Puerto Rico that we adopted 2 years ago and he is the best!
Diesel wasn't vetoed. Jacob and Frankie got axed.
I also suggested Mookie, Hubie, Petey, and some other Mets names (along with all the Giants names).
It is a fairly unique name and covered an interest of his, so while I have no name for you, perhaps you can go down a similar route and use a foreign word that describes her personality.
We like to go for "real" names that are somewhat unique (and have an Irish origin).
Anyway, first thing I thought of when i saw his pic was "Rody/Rodie." Don't know why, but he will be making a road trip to get to you. LOL.
I'll lend you what I was thinking for our next dog (if my wife wins that battle) - "Preston." (from the movie Can't hardly Wait. "Presto-o-o-one!"

He just might start chasing guys named Richie,or with the last name Madano
Some others : Luke,Max, and Sam

That's funny. We have an "Indy". He's a Labradoodle. Named after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway though. We're race fans. I also have an Eli (turtle), a Prince (lab) and an Osi (cat) all named after Giants.

I thought Chad was the male Karen?

Good looking dog Pj. Congrats.
Got to get it down to 2 names and then do what you said...spend the day and see what sticks more
Picked him up tonight, he's pretty chill for 12 weeks old, my other dog (a female) "likes him likes him" as my teenager says, they're both fixed (spayed/neutered) but I guess nature is still nature to an extent.
Anyway, seems like he's going to be a great dog (for as much as you can tell after 3 hours lol).
thank you again for the suggestions.
