Now the big question... A NAME!

[dutchman]

others have beat me in the chat room but I'll be the first to post a congratulations on the addition.

Tom and the boys (frank, Tanner and Dexter)

[carpet gator]

What an :angel:!!! I love his markings, especially the spot on his head, and the tan around his muzzle. Jake's gonna be so excited when he finds out!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Once it gets in your head that you need another dachsie it's all over.
Couldn't stand waiting could you. lol:D
He is so beautiful. Beckie has the most beautiful pups. Here's the fun. I get to actually see him and pick him up at the picnic. That one really good reason to drive 4.5 hours. Please tell Jake I will make a big fuss over him as well. And he gets to meet Missy.
Yippee. :bounce:
Mark actually said he's excited to see all the dachshunds at the picnic and he's looking forward to it. I thought I would have to really talk him into it or get my mother to come with me.

When do you get him?
I think Elwood if a great name. Jake and Elwood (Woody). Sounds pretty right to me. Your going to have to redo the web site and add Blues Brothers music to it. Very Cool.:cool:

I am so happy for you.

Lori, Missy and the Case Man
:bounce: :bounce:

[Mark]

Congrats Bob! :) What a great looking pupper . . . he is very lucky to have you as a hoodaddy. :thumbsup:

[willsana]

What a great looking pup!

Now for the wait!

:)-willsana

[lotsadox]

Oh, Blazeman, he's beautiful! Jake has a brother! :circle: How's Jake taking it? What a lucky pair of guys with you as their hoodaddy! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I'm so happy for all of you.

[minicooper]

:happy:
A new baby!!!:pink:

He looks like a little beauty!!:bounce:

We knew you couldn't stop at one!:heart:

[Juneysmom]

Blazeman,

He is so cute. :angel: He looks like he is going to be one little rascal! Has Jake met him? Does he like him or does he wonder who the heck is this??:confused:

[Heide]

I am so excited for you and Jake. He is absolutely gorgeous.:angel:
Congrats on becoming a new hudaddy.:bounce: :bounce:
When does he get to come home?
Ok now I see why you were not chatting so much you was busy getting those pics..:D
Gosh he is just a beauty... I cant wait for him to come home to his new hudaddy and brother.
Hmmmm names
Buster he looks like a little buster brown:bounce:

Anyway congrats
Heide:flower:

[juliette]

Didn't think you would hold out long with all of the new puppers being adopted by other DBB-ers!. Congratulations to you and Jake!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

When do you get to bring this stunning little baby home? Looks like he is going to be one handsome man!

Welcome to having a two dachsie home!

Cheers

[LisaH]

He is TOO beautiful! I'm so jealous! I love little spotty dogs. Is he a smooth? He looks so soft and fuzzy I can't tell whether he's a smooth or a longhair.

LisaH and Annie (who has no spots)

[blazeman]

The little man is a wire! I still don't have a name yet!

I will be bringing him home in about a month!

[stella dormoy]

He is so cute.... piebald...and Wire!!! Wow!! I feel so happy and excited for you!! I am pretty sure Jake will always think he's your favourite!!! Let us know as soon as you have a name for that handsome pup of yours!!

[JanetC]

I am sooo happy (and a bit jealous) for you Bob. He is absolutely adorable. You'd been talking up a storm about getting another for the past few months. Glad you took the dip.

I agree - he looks like a Spike!!!

Janet & Willie:flower:

[juliette]

What is his registered name? I am assuming the Jake's name comes from his registered "Follow me home Jake" - or did you give it to him?

I can't remember if Beckie names her litters with registered names first.

[blazeman]

I will be able to pick the name...

The registered name could come later

So... thoughts for call name are welcome :)

[willsana]

Last night in the chat Tom told us the story of Argus and his loyalty to his master. I think "Jake and Gus" are cool together! (It also makes me think of Gus-Gus the mouse in Disney's Cinderella. My FAVORITE character in the whole movie! Oh no! Now I am going to be singing "Cinderellie, Cinderellie" all day long!:eek: )

:)-willsana

[juliette]

I looked on Beckie's web site and couldn't find your little fellow on there. Which litter is he from?

As for call names, have you actually spent any time with him yet or just seen the pics? I tend to find that mine "name themselves". Hijinx especially got her name as we never saw her stand still for 5 seconds on the two occaisions we went to see her - we just new she would be mischief from moment one.

Are you particular to "human" names (Jake, Julie) or does a descritive name work for you?

[blazeman]

Julie had her name from her first home. I didn't name her :D

Little Man is from Shay's litter. I don't think that there are pics of them on Beckie's site.

As for names... I like things that are easy to call... when being bad (like that will ever happen :angel: ). I had jake for a day or two before he has his name :)

We named our baby rescued squirrel Gus and we still call him even though he's an true blue outside squirrel now Gus Gus and yes he was named after the chubby little fellow in Cinderella.

Funny thing is if I'm correct in my thinking but Bob's little guy is the is the brother of Cinderella aka Cinder which is Beckie's avatar. Now I think that's what Beckie told me. hahahaha

~Shonda

[Dapple Dandy]

Congrats Bob! You and Jake are lucky guys. :)

[blazeman]

Shonda,

You are correct!! They are from different litters.

[Frzframe]

CONGRATS!!! I to am hoping to get one of Shay's puppies. One of the Irish Spotted ones that is. So we'll be related!!!! hahaha Now as to names...GOOD LUCK!! Cause I haven't got a clue as to what I'm naming mine either.

~Shonda

[blazeman]

Beckie did mention that! Congrats to you too :)

[carpet gator]

He looks like such a little stinker. He needs a name that will fit that live wire personality. Here are some of my ideas:

Roary, Ranger, Bandit, Scamp, Sly, Jet, Hardy, Skipper, Rascal, Scrappy, Patch, Dash, Chaos, Rogue, Zane, Boomer, Crash, Rowdy, Rebel, Spirit, Pride, Randy, Wiley, Slick, Roman, Ace, Jester

And, of course, Spike and Buster

[Dapple Dandy]

Hopefully Beckie's not gonna let you get away with not working this little guy. Her dogs are so successful in conformation and field that it seems a shame to waste one. You'd be great, I just know it.

We met several wire owners this weekend and we've been actively talking about getting a wire boy. The glitch is I want my husband to be the one who works him. I've got my hands full of girls and he needs the outlet (hobby). He's a little hesitant that he won't be able to do it. I think he got the bug when he met Beckie's little wire guys at the WDC field trials and then seeing super dogs like Asa and Frodo this weekend, he's hooked. I just hope I can hold him off until this fall/winter. I know it's an old wives tale, but I've always believed that fall puppies are healthier. Plus we'll have the house addition done by then so more room to play. :D

[joeysmom]

Your little guy is a handsome fella. I just love his markings--that fleck of white on his forehead, his two tone tail and his little white paws! Adorable!
Say, with his pink toes I suspect nail trimming time will be much easier!
Congratulations on your new addition. Your puppy is lucky guy to be joining such a perfect household for a doxie.

[Mark]

What are you leaning toward in a name? If you're torn between several names . . . try posting a poll in DBBPolls. ;)

I mentioned Spike earlier because that is what came to mind when I saw his pic. Petey also comes to mind. :circle:

[minicooper]

Choosing a name is so difficult.

I am lucky that I stick to the theme of British Car names........I still have a few in my head for later use.........Austin (Aussie for short:circle: ) Morris, Royce etc

I am sure you will come up with the perfect name for the little guy!

[LovebugsMommy]

Wow he's such a cutie! I love the piebalds. Who am I kinding I love all dachshunds!!! We will be going through the waiting process together. We still have about a month until we can bring home our new lil' girl. The wait is killing me :dizzy:

Congratulations!!

Danielle

[blazeman]

I don't think I have a lean either way yet! Since he will be white... Casper came to mind... but I don't know if I like that or not. Same with Woody... that was my original thought on a name for Jake's little bro...

Need more suggestions! Please!! :D

I did by my first new thing tonight :D But it is for JAKE! Jake is getting a new BIGGER house (crate). I got the same type he has now (foldable made by Nylabone)... just the next size up. But check this out... I looked onlilne... saw it for $41.99. So I thought... I'll go to the store and pick it up for the same price... WRONG! It was $69.99 at the store!!So... I came back home... went tot he DBB store... and then over to Petsmart.com!

Moral of the story... call ahead before you go to the store... you can save money... on the purchase... and gas :D

[lotsadox]

I'm a mystery fan and always wanted to use fictional sleuths, Marlow (Phillip), Spade (Sam), Spenser, Sherlock (Holmes), Watson, etc. But lately all of my dogs have come from rescues and have already been named and knew their names so I just kept those. Congrats again. He's a beauty. My Miller is jealous 'cause I've been drooling over his picture.

[Mark]

Kinda looks like Tonto's (Lone Ranger) pony named Paint, too. :)

Some others that come to mind for no reason in particular:

Cutter, Laslo, Nelwin, Carson, Zeke . . . :)

Sure you don't want to start a poll? :D

[blazeman]

I kinda like Zeke... but that (hopefully) is Lori's boy's name... :D

Maybe I should start a poll... others I saw...

Jesse, Tank, Loki (which is Norse god of mischief, trickery, and thieves), Mufasa (ohh... say it again... well not really... but I had to put in in here), Zack, Bosch (A german spark plug... could call him Bo?)

Any else? I will create a poll tomorrow :)

[lotsadox]

Laslo! I love it! Only I think I'd spell it "Lazlo". Cool name!

[Mark]

Either way . . . that's how I meant it to be pronounced. :)

[Mark]

Cosmo, Quirt or Quincy! ;)

[dutchman]

Hi Bob,

Not sure of the spelling but I had some friends who had a dog named Rafeki(?) which is Swaheli for friend. Thye had been in the Peace Corp in Africa after college and leard Swaheli to work there. Rafeki was a begal cattle dog mix. My Friends were ultra runners and Rafeki would accompany them on 30 mile training runs.

Like I mentioned in the chat room last night Argus is a good name especially when you know the story behind it. See http://www.argusinstitute.colostate.edu/story.htm for the story behind the name.

He could be Sherman the little general ready to march through life.

Tenzing Norgay the sherpa that accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary on the first Everest accent.

Too many endless possibilities

Tom and teh boys (Frank, Tanner and Dexter)

[doxunzX3]

OMG!!!! I can't take a couple of days off from the DBB and look at the newz!!:D

Congrats on your new pupper! He looks so cute! I just love the markings and wow you can see the personality just from the photo.

OK so what is Becky's web site? Does she raise and show just mini wires or is she into the other types too? I am so excited for you and Jake! Just think of the tails-LOL you will have to tell now.

He looks like a Ruff and Tumble kinda guy! Rascle and Rogue are good names. If you just looked at the pics you'd think he was a Jack Russell or Parsins or what ever they are calling them now. Terriers. I want to have one too. Pouting!!!!:(

[Lovmyalfred]

Yea, we are so excited for you! I love life with two Dachshunds. You have twice as much love and mischief!! LOL!

[juliette]

So I ADORE Loki as a name - either that or Puck. Perhaps even Robin (Robin Goodfellow being another name for Puck).

Whatever you name him it has to be dissimilar enough from Jake's name so that calling is easier.

This discussion then led me to my library - tell me this doesn't sound like a dachsie:

"I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I'll be, Sometime a hound...."
:devil:

Puck, Midsummer-night's dream
Act 3, Scene 1


(Face it, with a name like mine you are forced to spend WAY too much time reading Shakespeare as a child)


:D

[dutchman]

Hi Bob,

For some rason one more name came to mind this morning. How about Stuka? That's the fabous German WWII sturzkamfflugzeug (divebomber) the Junkers Ju-87. It's best known by the nickname Stuka. I can just see your little guy divebombing of of sofa's, beds, etc onto poor unsuspecting Jake:eek:

Tom

[blazeman]

Tom,

I kinda like the thought of the name Stuka... but I am trying to imagin myself calling it :D

As for Jake being unsuspecting... I doubt that... Jake's big problem with other dogs... he always wants to play :) Yes... he is still a puppy... but I don't think he knows yet when play should stop. The fun part... when the pup is in the same place Jake is now... and Jake does know when to stop playing :) I can use line... and now you know how YOU were :D

[lena]

Jakes brother is a cutie!:angel: :angel:

I think that I like the name Caspar.:flower:

[blazeman]

Found one more pic...

http://www.blazeman.com/baby/baby5.jpg
He is the little one on the top of the picture :D

[blazeman]

What do you think of Sebastian? Shorter version... BASH? one of my co-workers suggested it... I kinda like it... but I kinda like a bunch of em :)

[TessieMom]

Sounds like a perfect name! But I have not met him. Much cuter than Spike. Rena and the Waco 7 (soon to be 8!)

[blazeman]

What do you all think of Domino? Dom for short?

Right now... I think it is leading... but I am still open to thoughts!

[onebigmickeyfan]

But you have a month and lord knows what we'll all come up with by then. I really really really wanna snuggle him.:angel:

Lori:D

[blazeman]

i know I have a month, but I want to get hima name... so beckie can start calling him something :D

[willsana]

Now I will be singing "Oh oh oh , Domino" for the rest of the day!

That is a good name. It even comes with a built in song!

:)-willsana

[Meemoo]

call him FATS domino :D

[juliette]

Well, if you line him up with his spotted litter mates, you could have quite the game of dominos. Looking at his back, he looks like either a two and blank, or double ones.

With Jake's black back being double blanks, and if we assume that this little on is two and blank, then they "fit" together quite nicely!

Anybody for a game of puppy dominos?? Could be a rather alice in wonderland type game!



:raz: :bounce:

[TessieMom]

Domino would be even better. Rena and the Waco pack

[carpet gator]

Domino is cute, and fitting. I really like it shortened to Dom.

But, ya know, to a dachshund, Dom could stand for a lot of things....
DOMineering (Ever met one that wasn't?)
DOMinion (as in, "You and everything you own belongs to me!")
WisDOM (as in, "We both know who the smart one is here!")
InDOMitus- wild, unruly (We've all tried to train them.)

Dom also mean different things in different languages-
Dom in German is Cathedral
Dom in Russian is 'the house'
Dom in Dutch is stupid- Oh, certainly not a dachsie!
Dom in Spanish is the abbreviation of Sunday

[maryanne]

Congratulations Blazeman and Jake! He's absolutely adorable!! I think I'm jealous too!!!! He's just perfect, a piebald AND a wire!! :) :) :)

[dutchman]

Hi Bob,

Domino sounds good only one possible proble that I can see. In addition to barking at teh dorbell commercial on the Domino's commercials he will be barking because someone is calling his name:D.

Tom and the boys (Ftank, Tanner ans Dexter)

[Frzframe]

I don't know if they've been suggested already but...

How bout...

Butch
Buck or
Sampson (he's looks so mighty even though he's so small!!) :D

~Shonda

[maryanne]

Digby
Smith
Fuzzy
Luke?

[blazeman]

If I name him Luke... I can do my Darth Vader impersination... "Luke... I am your father" :D

[Dachshundrsq]

I kinda think KILLER is fairly fitting, esp after watching him try to KILL the corner of their white leopard pillow.
http://blues.blazeman.com/albums/elwood/puppy6.jpg
Oh but he is soooooo cute and cuddly..........
http://blues.blazeman.com/albums/elwood/puppy7.jpg
I think ANY name would just about do. I really don't think he will care.....he seems to like Pup Pup just fine......LOL
Tell Jake to watch out for his TOYS!!:devil: :devil: :devil:
The little EVIL one is coming!
Perhaps Jake would like to call him Grrrrrr.

[maryanne]

Oh he's sooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!
Are we allowed to have favourites here? :flower:

Becky, your dogs are beautiful! I already fell in love with Mick, Rusty and Binky (and others on your page), and now here's another one. Lucky lucky Blazeman (and Jake!).

[Heide]

just too adorable..:angel:
I know what you mean Maryanne about fav's he is just precious....I really love his coloring and markings.
Oh and that pillow does not stand a chance..lol:fierce:

[Moose's Ma]

Has this been suggested?-- Geordie-- because 1) it looks like him (sweet boyo!) amd 2) it sounds cool with "Jake."

[blazeman]

Isn't that all puppies? :D

Thanks for the new pictures :) I get to watch my little man grow, before I get him!

Jake will be happy to share his toys. He will have to teach his brother to share back though! When Julie was here... she didn't like to share... so neither had toys...

I will just make sure to leave the leopard print out of the house :D

[Frzframe]

he is just adorable!!! He looks like a TROUBLE to me. hahahaha Or how bout Rip :D not the Rip Van Winkle either cause I don't think he'll want to take much time away from rippin up his toys to sleep. :fierce:

~Shonda

[Dachshundrsq]

A squeeker won't stand a chance and the stuffins, well all over the floor, just as any proper kill would be.
Speaking of Dominos......I don't think these puppies are playing the game right!!!
http://romandachs.com/2puppypile05032003.JPG

[blazeman]

That has to be one of the cutest pictures ever! I was going to try and count the puppys... but I can't tell where one stops... and one starts :D

[lotsadox]

Great picture! Are you sure Jake's ready for this? Becky, you have the most beautiful dachsies! I just love them.

[juliette]

I count ten puppers in this pic......
I can see the white one..but I can't spot the new resident of Bob's house - is the new little fellow in with this great puppy pile?

[blazeman]

I think my boy is being used as a pillow by Casper (The white girl)

[juliette]

She's covering his spots, so I didn't see his pattern.

Bob, how are you coming on naming this little adorable??? You're leaving us all in suspense here (or am I out of touch as I am only now back in E.S.T.??)

[blazeman]

I am 98% sure... but I don't want to say until I am 100% :)

[Dachshundrsq]

That is Bob's boy under Casper.....What a DAD to already spot his boy in a crowd! And the count is correct, there is 10 in the puppy pile!

[carpet gator]

Those puppies are so adorable! I just want to lay down right along side them!

I like the one laying just to the left of Jake's new brother. (12 o'clock) He/she has beautiful tan markings on the head and ears, and I just want to kiss that little black nose.

[blazeman]

When you have than many piebalds in a pile... it is hard to pick em out... but I was "pretty" sure I knew which one was Elwood... (by the way... he has a name now :D).

Good call on the number Juliette! I'll buy you a pop at the picnic :D

[Mack]

Bob, as I was catching up on all these posts, I was reading through the early ones on this thread about your new pie boy. I dug out my favorite list of names -- and then got to the very last post and see you settled on a name. Good choice on Elwood. And what a handsome boy.
By the way, more than likely Elwood and my Willy are distant cousins. Your pie boy will have lines from Dominos kennel in his pedigree. My Willy is a Dominos boy.

[Dachshundrsq]

Willie's parents?? I will let you know how they are related.:flower: :flower:

[blazeman]

COOL!

I know Jake has a cousin in New York! Now Woody will have people in Florida!

So Mack... now that we are related... if I am ever in FLA We will stop by... of course we will need a place to stay :D

[Mack]

Willy's parents are Mozart and Venus de Milo.

[Dachshundrsq]

Are all littermates out of Pumkin Patch and Fabio. Milo's daddy is Bruno, Willie's daddy is Mozart, making Milo and Willie first cousins. So Woody would be a second cousin to Willie, since he is Milo's son. Venus is out of Cowboy and Pumkin Patch. Melissa bred a 1/2 brother to a 1/2 sister. She was doubling up on the Better lines in hops of improving the conformation. I think Pumkin was the first wire piebald champion. Mozart was second and Bruno was the third. Chaser is a Grandaughter to Leonardo, and the mother of Casper. To my knowledge, Leonardo was never shown. He lives in Canada, I believe. I guess Binky, Bj, Cinder and Rosie are all second cousin's to Willie too.:bounce:
