@tanza @debradownsouth Exactly what I meant. Like a child, you cannot expect a pup to do something their body has not grown enough to do. It's been years since I've had a puppy in the house. "Bug" came to me at 18months, well past potty training. (Thank heavens!)
New puppy Pictures!!

A pup I placed this fall has the call name "Sinister" he ends up being called Sin, I love the name. He is such a sweet boy it makes the name funny. His registered name is FoPaw's The Third Man "Sinister" the litter is themed for film noir, we called them the evil litter. The other two pups are FoPaw's Touch of Evil at Saorsa "Regan" (yes as in the exorcist) and FoPaw's Desert Fury "Rage".
I love playing with names, there are so any great ideas. We also have a Luna, her registered name is Moon Pie. Good luck with names, its always so hard to settle on something.

Therese -

Never name a dog something you don't want it to live up to. :p
Hee. I have a friend with a Corgi named after a Hawaiian trickster god. Maui keeps her on her toes.

Tell me about that…I already have 2 that have done that. One is "The Chosen One" - huge attitude :rolleyes: and one is named after a screaming rock & roll singer - you can imagine that one.

Adorable pics, thanks for sharing…Sin is a great name for a basenji!
-
Adorable pup!
-
What a handsome boy - i love the 2nd picture where he looks as though he's stalking prey.
Sin was an early well-known kennel name here. It belonged to Diana Berry who later bred Ibizans under the same affix. I loved her Basenjis and her ethics as she was one of the early breeders who refused to cull the creams and also bred 'blue tris' despite them not being to the KC standard. But then, I too am a rebel!! I do hope you choose Sin.

very cute baby!
true story - Jet the trying's real name is Jerlin's Saint or Sinner (there are some other letters before and aft his name that he wasn't born with, but that has nothing to do with this story). Linda, his breeder, was calling him "Saint". I told her we'd have to change his name as I couldn't call a basenji "Saint". She pointed out that I could call him "Sinner" based on his registered name. I replied, in semi-mock horror, "Linda, I'm not about to call a basenji SINNER."

nice pics, i have a red and a tri, i want a brindle next!
-
I told my aunt that we should just name him BoB… He will eventually fit a name, there are soooo many good suggestions I keep trying out all of them looking for the one that suits him! Thanks everyone for all the compliments we sure do love him and are looking forward to his future!
-
The vampire in the TV show Moonlight was name Mick if you want the name somewhat connected to his registered name.
I was always told not to pick a name you don't want them to live up to or down to as the case maybe. People say I shouldn't be surprised that my "Little Ox" is on the small side. I do remind them that even a small Ox would probably be big. Of course, I was probably asking for trouble calling him Interesting Times.
-
It was more of a joke to name him BoB.. we were having a conversation of why one shouldn't chose a name they don't want them to live up to and I joked that well I guess I had better name him BoB then incase he is one that wants to live up to their name!
Today the new names are manny (a variation of Norwegian for moon) and Titan (one of Saturn's moons). -
I like Titan, but I *really like Truffle
-
What did you end up naming him?
