New puppy on the way, need help with names - Lateral-g Forums

My wife and I recently lost out 10yo Boxer "Harley", we had a rough last month with him as he was coming to his last days and after telling our kids was VERY hard let alone how hard it was on my wife and I. We have had 3 Boxers over the past 12 years. Roxy my first past unexpectedly years back and Tyson we had to give away to a family friend after we found out we where pregnant with my son now almost 2yo. Harley was a hand full but the kids loved having him around and if you are a dog person you understand how hard it is to be without a dog after so many years. Harley is deeply missed but we felt it was the right decision to include a new puppy into our family.

My wife found this little guy from a Boxer breeder in Hahira, Ga. and he should arrive here this Saturday.

My kids said they liked Mater (from Cars..."my name is mater, like tomater without the ta"). ...

Or we thought of Tiago.

Anyone have idea's of like one of these names?

That is a good looking puppy.

The name "Dozer" comes to mind...short for bulldozer

He just has that look.

Good looking pup! I am also looking for a Boxer pup, but up here in BC. I recently lost my 9 year old Rotti to Cancer, his name was Diesel. Good name for a car guys dog. One to run past your kids any way.

A friend of mine named his Boxer Deeohgee. D O G. Get it? LOL!!
Anyway, I am no good with creative names. I had a Red Boned Coon Hound named "Red". (yes, he was red). And another named Chase. Because that is all I did when he was a puppy, chase him all over. He was a runner. My current dog is a golden retriever named Dusty. (Gold Dust is part of his AKC name)

Good looking pup there Nick. Best of luck with it. And sorry to hear about loosing the other. I know how hard it can be.

I'm looking for a Boxer myself. Good looking pup. Any recommendations where I should look? Prices are a little high where I've been looking but I don't expect to find one cheap either.

I know of someone who had a beautiful litter of European Boxers in BC. I sent a text to see if she has any left.

We also had a litter of 8 Boxers. We have 2 left and although we had planned to keep both, we have since decided to sell one of them so if anyone knows of someone in or near MN that is looking, you can send them to www.minnesotaboxers.com

Here is a picture of the pup that we have available:

Thanks to Scorpner for alerting me to this thread!

My old boxers name was TUFFY...

You're suppose to name dogs with names that end with an "E" sound. Not sure why - but I learned that somewhere.

Having said that - our beagles are named Alice and Elvis (you ain't nuthin but a hound dog... LOL). Obviously we let the kids name them 14 years ago.

I also had a Springer named HEY YOU... 'cause that's what everyone said to him... and the name stuck.

You're doing the right thing in replacing your beloved dog with a puppy. It's about the only thing you can do to ease the loss.
