New puppy!!

9 week old male border collie. Taking name suggestions.

Max for Max Wedge or Wedgie Good looking pup Guitar.

Wally.................as in Border Wally

And it rhymes when you say "Border Wally Collie" , sorry just having a little fun. go ahead I need it

Thank you, so far he's been good, just getting settled in with the big dogs.

I actually am considering Walter. But Django and Ryder are on the list. He rode in the truck over 40 miles of twisting turning roads without a hiccup.

Is that Walter from the truck commercial that thinks he's a dog? Actually a great and funny commercial. "Walter Nooooooo, he's a civil servant!!!!!!"

Lol, I hadn't thought about that.

Zip!

Listen to the song being sung in the background of the commercial..........I think you live up there "On Big Rock Candy Mountain" if I'm not mistaken "Walter go fetch some firewood" "Yiiip get em boy" Walter herding cattle

My Boston Terrier's name is Walter,suits him well!

Because it's a herding dog, and it WILL have herding instincts, I'd suggest a name that implies nipping at the heels. A specific suggestion won't come to me right now, but I'll chime in if it does.
Nice dogs though. I think he'll do well in your pack.

Wheeler.

What a cutie !
I generally name animals after their dominant personality trait or uniqueness.
But sometimes they remind me of a character, and that sticks.

He is currently trying to break in to the dog food storage bin. That didn't take long.

Bandit ?

I had a Border Collie as a teenager.
Natural herder.
Would herd horses over to the horse trailer with no training whatsoever.

My younger brother had a Sheltie for 14 good years.
She would even try to herd butterflies !

WHAT? Why would you insult a dog with a name like that?

Well I guess Django is it. Had his first vet visit and shots, very healthy pup.

Nice looking puppy...reminds me of our Border Collie. Border Collies are great...high energy. The gentleman that helped train ours for cattle said that "if they don't have work they will create it" I have found that very true over the 16 yrs. we have had Daisy. At about 14 years she started slowing down and we go forward now on a day to day basis. Here's a pic taken 2 yrs. ago of her "creating work" helping the Wife shuck corn:

Yeah we know all about that, we have a Catahoula Leopard Dog as well. Hoping they will compliment each other and wear each other out. The Catahoula is always on, no off switch.

I really like border collies! Possibly my next dog? He looks like a Buddy to me!
KID

Very cute puppie and I think "Trumpie" would be a great name

Friends had some high strung dogs, Nitro, Turbo and Hemi.

Did you name it Doc?

No! Django is his name. I had to give the vet's a name for his appointment. It was a toss up between Django and Carl.

I like Django Rhinehart...LOL

We have a neighbor named "Carl" with one named Skip and he is a wonderful dog but a cruiser, we live on acreages and he definitely was getting around until Carl corralled him great dogs and very smart but they do like to Cruise the hood LOL

Our female Catahoula has claimed him as her own. She doesn't let him out of her sight and will not let another dog near him. She is very protective of her new boy toy. I hope it doesn't progress past this so keeping a careful watch on the situation. Catahoulas are well known for their OCD possessive behaviour.

You realize there are only about 3 people here that know who that is. Possibly just us two.

Make that 4 or maybe still 3 now

Ok, possibly one more before now

There was a very skillful electronics tech in Durham NC who was a Django Rhinehart fan
and often had his music playing softly in the background as he troubleshot equipment.
He swore this helped him “get his mind right” to track down problems.

Maybe Moparts needs a thread....
music to solve problems by?

It works for me.

The name will be best if you come up with it.

You’re in for a treat. Border collies are astonishingly smart. They learn tricks so fast, are loyal and obedient to the core and love making their masters happy. My BC’s name was Hannah. Such a fun dog. Be ready to play. They are energetic and need to run. Their ability to run down and catch a frisbee no matter how hard you throw it is insane.

Well he already knows Django, I've given him Booger Bean for a nicname, probably should have just named him Bob for short. He is very smart, catches on extremely quick. Our Catahoula has taken over as his body guard, we are really glad they get along so well.

Oreo!

That's a good one!
