I got an email on Monday with the most cute photos of 2 Siberian Husky puppies that a colleague’s neighbour is sellling. After chatting to Lance about it, we decided to take the boys (who were so extremely excited) to choose a puppy tonight.
However, this is proving to be a problem. We can’t choose which one to buy, in fact we might end up getting both.
There are 2 available, neither of which have been named yet… which is a little odd in itself… how can you live with puppies for 8 weeks in your house without naming them?!
So, now the big thing is… choose a name… and a puppy… and collect it tomorrow. But we can’t decide on a puppy or the names… so please help…
First up is the little girl… she’s kinda quiet and gentle and she’s smaller than the male.
So far our names we’re thinking about for her are :
Kitara (from Avatar on TV)
Saskia, Anouk or Anushka (suggested by Camilla)
Next is the little boy… he’s gorgeous with pale pale fur and a stripe of pale grey/beige going down his spine. He’s very playful.
So far we have the following names:
Hulk – as suggested by Connor ‘cos he wants a superhero name
Kent, Alaska, Kimo (suggested by Camilla)
Seriously, please help… we’re kinda useless with names!!
I would suggest for the baby boy: Hawk, Shadow, Shumba, Flash
and the cute girl: Muska, Tara, Tikana, Keira, Kiska
Oh you are good at this!! Those are stunning names!
Get the girl – Kitara
Oh my! I would get both, only cause they are sooooooo cute!
Also then they can keep each other company…
Flash for the boy and Pixie for the girl 🙂
I would call the girl Alaska or Sahara, and the boy, well, he looks like a Thor or maybe a Freeway.
And yes, you have to take them both! They’ll chew, dig and destroy less if they’re got one another to play with, and then each boy will have a dog…
🙂
Aaaahhh those are SO gorgeous!!
enjoy 🙂
I like Kitara too
they are really cute.
i think u should let the boys name them… makes their pet so much more special… even if the name is not the most glam! my nephew named his first dog (a lab) Toddy 🙂
i think Hulk is an awesome name!
so CUTE. I like the boy dog and I LOVE the name Thor. He’s a superhero too.
be careful of letting your kids name them. I only say that because our second dog was called TWO because that’s what Jackson came up with. Sadly we don’t have the dogs anymore but, as Jackson told me with a sigh, we don’t have dogs, but at least we have a swimming pool (huh, i didn’t get the logic either).
Two is definitely better than one, although I’m not sure the two will do less damage to your garden 😛 They will spend most of the day alone at home so 2 is company and you won’t have a lonely puppy getting up to mischief.
I like Connor’s suggestion of Hulk, good name for a dog that will be big.
You’re going to think I’m nuts, but I’d call the girl Daisy. Seriously she looks gorgeous and beautiful and just so ladylike and delicate like a flower. LOL yes I’m mad and many would agree, but that’s my opinion.
Aaaww they are too, too gorgeous !!! Little male is so pretty! What a lot of suggestions so far for names !! They do need exotic type names, I think, because they’re not your ‘everyday’ doggies but names must be easy for calling (I think!) Elaine and I both agreed on Saskia (E says Sassie for short !) and Kimo !! She also says if you only get one .. get the girl .. she says she’s too too too cute!!! Me – she does have perfect markings on face and ears (looks like a maple leaf on the brow!)
Difficult decision to make !
They are beautiful Jenty!
Some stunning name suggestions there. I also think you should definitely get them both, one for each of your boys. Plus it is always a good idea to get two so they can keep each other company therefore wrecking your garden / house less. We had a husky years ago – she was beautiful with a stunning nature, but a real little terrorist!
Cant wait to see which way you go – the boys must be toooo excited! 🙂
The boys is gorgeous!! There are lots of famous movies with Husky dogs ( Snow Buddies, Eight Below, Iron Will & Snow Dogs) worth watching) – Good Luck with the naming.
I vote for the little girl! I love her colouring.
And I guess people don’t name them so that they don’t bond with them and end up wanting to keep them all … I know that’s why I could never be an animal breeder 😉
KITARA! Without a doubt! I LOVE Avatar!
She is beautiful!
The little girl is just beautiful. I would suggest getting the boys to name them – it will strengthen the bond. AS to choosing a puppy, the dog manuals all say to take the one that comes to you and interact with you.
With names – try to stick to one or two syllables – otherwise it is difficult to call out- that is why our Sibongile became a Bongi! LOL!
AS to taking one or two dogs – the jury is out on that one. One school of thought say that you need to focus attention on one and get then fully bonded with the human pack, and then get the other, who will be much easier to raise and house train. The other says, byte the bullet and do it at one time. Just important with litter mates to spay them very early, like at 6 months. You vet will be able to advise. And I always preach about training – but it is so important. Take them very early to puppy classes. It is well worth the money and time. (find someone who does clicker training – wonderful concept)
Ag you know, I have a lot to say about dogs but you have seen our’s and their behaviour, so if you want any more advice than what I have just forced onto you, mail. And enjoy to pups.
I’ve always liked the name Domino, but perhaps better suited to a dag with spots? Get a name you like to call – these little rascals love to run! 😉
*dog even 😆
+1 for Hulk 🙂
Hmm I’m not much good with naming animals – I leave that up to Josh and Barend. They are both gorgeous, I would definitely take both!!
I do however, like Flash mentioned by Louise.
They are SO SO beautiful. Congrats on the new family members.
