Default Rename him, or Leave him (Now with pics)
I adopted a Dog today from a mean owner who didnt want him anymore...

He is a Bull Mastiff and is 13 months old

His Current name is Pizzel but i dont know if i should leave it as that or change it...

If I do change it, I was thinking about Jack...

I have until Tuesday to decide

By the way, according to Dictionary.com Pizzel means:
1) The penis of an animal, especially a bull.
2) A whip made from a bull's penis.

What do you think?

Laura

Hahaha, it has a certain cheek to it doesnt it?

I reckon it's a cool name.

Bull mastifs are awesome dogs. Good luck.

Thats a crap name. Jack isn't much better. Take after stroker. Call him something like cleveland, windsor, shelby, henry. Good Ford names.

If you leave it and call him, and he relates that sound to cruelity, then probably not good, e id change it so his new name name when called means good things not bad memories.

Gota name him Bruiser... its just a bull mastiff thing. Or after your fav alcoholic beverage. I have whisky the rotty. But also i've had other pets with alco names... Brandy the shetty, Vodka the cat, Ruski the lizard, Baccardi the magpie and my best mate Bundy the bucky pony whos competition name is Budweiser. .. No i'm not alcholic, the names just really suited the animals. Just an idea if your looking for other names masters24

I dunno, So many names!!!

I know Jack sounds a bit boring, but the 2 guys I live with dont really want a dog, and if I name him Jack (after Jack Daniels) then it might help to break down the barriers...

Anyone else for names?

I'll have pics up as soon as I can work out how to get them off of my man's camera!!

If you want to name him after Jack Daniels then why not JD instead of Jack.

We got a dog under similar circumstances, We renamed him from "Rocky" to the classier Oskar. He was fine with it i think. lol

I tried it out, if the same tone and pitch of voice is used then he responds to almost anything!

Geez, he is so cute

I quite like the name Jack after the drink. I'm not a big fan of dogs, I guess it was all the filthy unwashed ones my mates had back in Victoria that put me off them.

Too true, too true,

Thankyou, that made up my mind! Sure, the dog is gettin a new name, now what to choose! Jack is still getting my top vote but I am still open to other ideas!
