Nick names

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • Mick:
    Mickey
    Dingo
    Lil Boy
    Pissy Boy
    Corn Chip (because his feet smell like corn chips)

  • Ours are "Frito Dog" cuz of the feet smell.

  • I must be strange - mostly I have always just called my dogs by their call name. Once in a blue moon I might call (doesn't matter who) "pooky" .

  • Cory: aka
    The princess
    stinky butt
    and if she is being mean to Jayden, she is "little bitch"

    Jayden: aka
    Jay
    Big poop

    Collectively: The Brats

  • Marley was frequently called Mo or MoMo or The Mo.
    Sheba goes by Sheebs or Shebastick.

    And we are crackin' up here because we thought we were the
    only ones that thought our pooches feet smelled like corn chips.
    Why we ever smelled their feet in the first place? I am not sure
    but I am glad we are not the only goofballs out there!

  • It's not his official nickname, but I like to call Medjai 'Corn Chip', just because I sleep next to a 20lb. bag of corn chips.

    I agree, I wait to be around a pup for a bit and then often pick a name that ties to the registered name; FoPaw's Designated Driver "Sober" FoPaw's Little Bit of Luck "Clover" FoPaw's Oh My God "Odin" FoPaw's Makes U Wonder "Stevie" FoPaw's Lead Singer "Diva" there are many more but these are a couple that come to mind, owners have picked similar matches. Jordan Reed has chosen some very clever names as well. Atarasi D'Lucks Edition "Eddie" (Clover's brother) Atarasi About Face "Sarge" Atarasi All About Me "Mimi" I love playing with names like this. I like Oakley myself but I think you'll be surprised to know exactly what his name is when you get him home. Good luck with the new baby. Therese

    We once got a puppy with a 12 year old male (and an older female). For the first week the adults kept their distance from the girl pup, but within a couple of weeks my male and the pup were inseparable. She hung from his neck with those wicked teeth and he hardly ever growled at her, she was his little shadow and they adored each other. Adults will make terrible noise and flash fangs at the pups, especially at about 6 months when they are teenagers, but most pups ignore it all! Male dogs are usually very sweet and good with pups…females are, well, bitches.

    @Andrew: Booger is FINALLY registered with his proper name. We've decided to use "Griffin" in our dogs' names as a reference to the half lion/half eagle mythical creatures. The Egyptians borrowed them from other civilizations & used them in art depicting hunting scenes. So Booger is now "Griffin's Pick of the Litter." Very nice choice…cute name. :)
