New Puppy Name

Basenji Puppy Pen

  • Kingsley, what have you done ! naming her after a weapon of mass destruction :D
    What if she lives up to her name :D
    Think i'l stick to Malaika (Angel) for our pup;)


  • Thanks.. with the advice, Ares is out of the running… I dont need to add fuel to the fire....


  • I agree with being careful what you name them (live up to it!), and especially saying, and yelling, the name in many tones of voice. I personally like 2-syllable names, easy to say and call out, with 'come_____', 'No ___ no', etc. Get a couple of names you like then see which fits the dog, which they respond to. Then enjoy your new puppy!


  • @Kingsley1230:

    I love the name lily. I just got my B mix on saturday and we named her Lilu. A character from the Fifth Element movie who was a weapon of destruction whos temple was in Egypt.

    We have a B breeder, here in Aus, who called her little bitch Leeloo, and her reg name is –------- Fifth Element :). Is your little girl pronounced Leeloo, or Lie loo ???


  • About pronouncing names incorrectly, I do have problems with people saying my dogs names properly, too :p

    Saba, is Sarbah, and perhaps thats how I should have spelt it to start with… He usually gets Sabre :eek:

    Ochre is pronounced O'Car, but there have been so many different pronunciations for her name, I cant begin to write them all down :rolleyes:. Again, I should have spelt it that way, so Im guessing its my fault really :o.

    Vanda, I dont think you could get it wrong, I hope ;).

    Sorry to the OP, I have gone a touch OT here :o:o:o


  • You might have to wait a bit and see what the personality is like first too - Lily might not work for a strong alpha female but be perfect for a cuddler.

    The strong alpha female could be Tigerlily. :D I knew a brindle pit type dog named Tigerlily - sweet little dog

    it is pronounced lee loo, spelt lilu though.

    I like that, Lilu, the way you pronounce it..its very nice and different too.


  • I guess I spent too much time in Japan. I never thought of it pronounced any other way. :)

    I know, when I get home at night i can't help but give her kisses all over her cute little face


  • That is super little one gets kisses we got Jaycee back in March and she gets kisses everyday usually more than once.

  • I think my favorite time is when she snuggles her little head into my arm when she is sleeping on the couch next to me, she did this on the ride home the first day we got her and that was all it took for me to fall in love with her.


  • That's so nice she all ready loved you and was ready for her new home. You sound like a nice puppy parent. They are special.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    Thank you Tanza. I was very curious. ill have to check out AKC. Thank you AgileBasenji. Yes i do live here so it would just be for fun and for some experience. I dont blame you on the points tho because it would be alot of money to not get anything out of it.

    Good luck to you…I really mean that. :) One more thought on this... The most important people in my life are not just "yes men"...they can see when my judgment is clouded by emotion. We might not like what people have to say, but if you step back and look at comments objectively, you'll see that they are meant to help and to give a reality check. The senior members on this forum have HUGE EXPERIENCE...they have great advice, even if it hasn't always been what I've wanted to hear. Please...please...read lvoss' post and then read it again. To me, that is the clearest explanation as to what the danger is by rushing in.
