We go to a dog park where a trainer goes to work with his GS and his Malinois - except that the Malinois looks a little more furry than yours, the shape and color of your dog very much resembles his. As an aside, he says his Malinois was very easy to train. (makes me embarrassed to even try to get my girls to "come" in his presence.:rolleyes:)
No longer nameless… turns out she's a "Scout"!

Whatever you name her, make sure it's easy to yell out the back door!

Like giza said….easy to yell out.
my puppy's name rolls off the tongue; instead of "stop it!" I end up saying her name 'Bop-it'. Works out.
Scout's a cute name; and it sounds like you've settled on it.
The names Cumbia, Mach, Blitz, Wildone, and Opus were some of the names on my old puppy list.

Peanut!!!!

You said you were smitten with her earlier. Why not call her that? Smitten?
-
Peanut!!!!
Ha! That was one of my nicknames as a kid, and now one of my old besties calls her new baby Peanut
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! Scout does seem to have stuck. Now I'm debating whether she should be "Nocturnal's Gold Award Girl Scout" or "Nocturnal's Sin t'Kill a Mockingbird" or "Nocturnal's Miss Jean Louise" or a deeper TKM cut like "Nocturnal's Pass the Dann Ham Please"!
@Pat/tanza, her dam appears to be an unremarkable canine named Brooke's Butterfinger Candy =).
She is turning out to be a world of fun. Really getting me to think on my feet. I'm still trying to avoid formal "training" for another couple weeks, but it's hard not to reward offered behaviors and she's already come up with a few clever "stupid pet tricks" of her own! ;0)
Here's a pile of photos–we love her so very much! (PS: Please don't be alarmed about the chain in the first photo, we don't tie our dogs out. I was just doing outdoor chores and needed to ensure there were no food squabbles while we practiced everyone chewing their own bones in their own designated areas.) Also throwing in one of my old man, too, just because he's feeling a little left out of the training fun, poor fella.

beautiful photos

She is adorable! Scout is a great name, easy to "yell out the back door"!

Thanks on all counts! "Scout" seems just right. She is certainly an explorer. And I am clearly biased, but I think she's pretty cute myself ;0). She is fun to shoot. I love the "details" on her–like the black inner ear tips. And I can't get enough of that tiny smirk!
Blitz is great! I'm keeping Mighty, Puma, Rizzo, Radar and Zoom-Zoom in my pocket ;0)

Whatever you name her, she is a cutie!

Soooo cute, should give a name..
