Been thinking real hard on the topic of “adding another dachshund to the mix.”

Just might be time to get Gary a little brother.

A “black and tan.” Oh yeah, and, “smooth coat.”

I’ve got a couple names picked out, but wanted to hear what all you ruffians might think a good name for Gary’s brother might be. Leave a comment. Take a shot. Help us out, here, people.

Been thinking on this one for some time, and man, when the time comes, we are going doxie shopping.

JUST TO RUIN YER DAY: Never yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater.

When I lived in Africa, my parents had a short-haired, copper-brown miniature dachshund named Penny. I had a dachshund named Fuji and an australian cattle-dog named Kodak. Corny names, awesome dogs - huge personalities. How about Boris or Zack for Gary’s new bro.

Good decision to get a little brother to Gary; a guy needs a buddy and he’ll train the little critter for you!

Names? In the “G” category, Gunner, Gumby, Grover, Gomer…..

German boy names: Audi, Baxter, Blitz, Einstein, Frank (many Franklin), Jaeger, Martin, Otto, Wolfgang.

Simple Names: Teddy, Ike, Archibald (Archie)….

- Harry
- Rocket
- Dude (i.e. The Dude)

Special place in hell for dog owners who force costumes on their best friend…

I found your site last year, via coudal.com and I instantly become Gary’s fan.
Have you saw this site for some possible name?

though i’m a believer you really have to meet the dog first to get a sense of WHO they are…. i could see a black and tan named VINNIE.

I’ve always went by the philosophy that you should see/meet/get the dog first and then find the right name…maybe it has a unique personality that a certain name just fits. My first dog, a beagle, thought he was quite intelligent so he was named Zipwell Smart (after Maxwell Smart). But if you’re looking for ideas for a short, smooth, dark, german dog then Lowenbrau would be a fine name.

Brutus or Crumb

As a dog owner, we all know a hounds are rarely if ever called by their name. Usually it is some deviation of the OG that is uttered. Gotta think down the line on that bitch.

Art Brut
Master Crumb
etc.

good luck

Name this dog MOOSE.

Posted by: Ryan Shaw on 02/26/08 at 2:45 PM

Name him Snidley.

Posted by: are jay on 02/26/08 at 3:54 PM

How about:
- Ken
- Barry (& gary)
- Farquhar
- Algernon
or my personal favorite “Aubrey” but that maybe better for the hulking great Rhodesian Ridgeback I’m getting.

I did have two cats named Kate and DulpiKate… only slightly trumped by my friends dobermanns called Pete and Repete. I’m not kidding.

you could always go with Ace. Ace and Gary the ambiguously gay duo. Frank. Fast Eddie. Schnitzel. just a few names to ponder. good luck finding a sitter for 2 dogs.

Lots of “twice”

- twice the amount of vet bills
- twice the amount of barking… which is really like quadruple the amount if he’s like Gary
- twice the amount of love
- twice the amount of cuddles
- twice the amount of dog shit to pick up.

If you need to really experience what a 2 dog household is like, come on over.

Indiana of course. It goes with Gary.

Come to think of it, you’d likely wind up shortening it to “Indy,” which also goes nicely with “Gary,” and puts one in mind of Sean Connery saying “We named the dog Indiana.”
