Choosing Gun Dog Names:Tips and suggestion for you.

Okay, so I've been meaning to get a new hunting dog, a real good boy to help me out in the field. But, man, picking a name is tough! It's gotta be something that sounds cool, but also practical, you know? Something you can yell across a field and it'll actually carry.

Brainstorming Time

First thing I did was grab a notepad and just start jotting down anything that came to mind. I started with some classic, tough-sounding names:

• Hunter
• Ranger
• Scout

Then I thought about some names based on breeds I like, you know, like labs and pointers and such. that didn't really give many results.

I even tried thinking about some famous hunting dogs, but not much there either.

Getting More Specific

After staring at that list for a while, I decided to get a little more specific. I thought about the kind of hunting I do, mostly birds, sometimes deer. So, I started thinking about names related to that:

• Flush
• Fetch
• Point

Those felt a little too on-the-nose, though.

Looking to my favorite thing...

I found that it's good to pick a name that is not easily confused with commands. For example, "Kit" sounds too much like "sit".

• Remington
• Ruger
• Gauge

So, I kept thinking... and thinking...And then I thought, how about naming my dog after my favorite thing, guns!

The "A-ha!" Moment

After all that, I finally had a few names I really liked! I think I'm gonna try them out for a few days, see how they feel when I say them out loud.

It's a big decision, you only name your faithful companion once, you know. I'm not gonna tell which one I chose.

but It will be perfect for my new hunting buddy. Gotta make sure he's got a name that's as awesome as he's gonna be!
