TanyaV28 · 11-12-2007, 08:52 AM

Okay I just brought home my new GSD pup and he is 20pds and just turned 7 weeks

He is going to be huge. His parents are pink papered and AKC. Father from Slovakia and mother striaight from Germany. They are ****zhund 3!! Im excited and am going to have him trained personal protection etc. Here are the name I like:
Thor
Vladimir
King
Kenai
Hans
Kaiser- means ruler I think

Help with any other would be great!! Its hard for me to name animals also my other 2 gsd are Kita and Koda
My husband would kill me if he knew I posted him in his underwear LOL also he like Kenai....that is from Brother bear......disney

My sisters GSD is named Thor

Personally I like Kaiser. Whatever you name him he is gonna be beautiful!

roberts617 · 11-12-2007, 09:47 AM

I like Hans! He's cute!

HAYHAYSTABLES · 11-12-2007, 09:54 AM

Go with thor! Thats what our gsh was named and it just suits them.
THOR THOR THOR THOR ! Thats my vote.

Lovers_End · 11-12-2007, 10:06 AM

I like the name from brother bear, but Thor is a very strong name. It sounds like a protector and makes me thing of a tall, dark handsome man, with rippling muscles.

PATrailGirl · 11-12-2007, 01:09 PM

We had one named Krieger, which translates to warrior.
He is beautiful, Congrats!

Stormy's Human · 11-12-2007, 01:36 PM

I like Kanute - but all the suggestions have been good - he is a beautiful puppy - we just got a white GSD - we named him Bocephus (we call him Bo and Bo Bo when he's bad)

Blondie · 11-12-2007, 01:44 PM

Kaiser!
That's a good one.

scrapchick · 11-12-2007, 01:56 PM

He looks like Jagermeister to me.

tallyho · 11-12-2007, 03:52 PM

Wihelm!......Willie, for short

and he is a cutie........

actually, there was a Kaiser Wilhelm.....a ruler in Austria

TanyaV28 · 11-12-2007, 04:51 PM

Those are all good and scrapchick he is going to make me want jagermeister soon.......LOL.....he is very frisky!! LOL I am going to bring all these to my hubby and we will decide!! THANK YOU

HorseLovinLady · 11-12-2007, 05:34 PM

He's cute!!!

I like Fritz for a name. Do you have any full body pics of him?

farmergal · 11-13-2007, 08:26 AM

He's adorable

Name him Charge that way when you yell his name someone is going to think you gave him a command

Humor aside I like the names you have chosen. Try them out on him and see what one he likes best. Rarely have I given a dog a name that he hasn't had a say in. My husband calls all mine mangy mutt and they come to it.

palomino_grl · 11-14-2007, 10:34 AM

I LOVE Kaiser...I knew a Rottie named Hagan. I thought that was a good name too!

Adorable GSD...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

SACREDWINDWALKER · 11-14-2007, 11:28 AM

We have a GSD named Sarge...(in charge)...but I like Kenai (keen-eye) too!

If that's the case....hehe....name him Satan and maybe all the salespeople or JW will turn around and get back in their car....

**gbarmranch** · 11-14-2007, 11:31 AM

Name him "Killer" or "Sic em" in that case.. when you call him by name, they will leave quickly!

mandelyn82 · 11-15-2007, 10:48 AM

Oh he's a cutie! I'm no help at names though.

But if you want to do personal protection work with him, you have to keep him really confident and not make a "disciplined pet" of him for the training to go well.

You really need to focus on positive reinforcement as he goes through his puppy stuff, instead of "no, no, no". That way when it's time to start the training he won't constantly question the things that had previously been "bad".

Confidence and even temperment are key in the training being successful, and it starts now as a young pup. Take him to as many places as you can, the pet store, friends houses, car rides to no-where, dog parks... everything you can as often as you can. That way he's well adjusted and social, makes the resulting dog after training that much better.

The goal is a free thinking, confident, yet 100% obedient companion dog. They need to be able to read a situation accurately... so the more situations you place him in the more confident he'll become, and the more he'll excel in the protection training as he learns when to do what and how to do it with what commands.

ToveroMom · 11-15-2007, 10:55 AM

I think with his background he will not be easily cowed.
I always was strict but fair with our Schutzhund pups.
They HAVE the instinct within themselves for the protection work-but the discipline has to be ingrained in them too. Sometimes the straight Eueopean breds can be a bit sharp-when older.
No one wants a black and tan alligator.

Very nice pup-did you get him from a stateside kennel or import yourself.
I love the Kenai name-loved the movie too.
