Chip Stewart has a new puppy. He needs a name.

Chance, is my choice

My favorite dogs as a kid were Granite, Beau, Schroeder, & Lucky.

Right now, the leading contender is Ludwig. I was watching a show where someone named Ludwig was being interviewed and I said I like the name. Then I realized the tie-in with the St. Bernard in the Beethoven movies. Not a bad start.

Anynow, here's some quick pix taken with my cell phone.

He's 10 weeks in the photos, and almost 32 lbs. Gonna be a brute!

There you go Chip Brutus. He's cute as can be..............................( :

Maxamillion
Schulze ( it means mayor in german)
Adolfus ( means noble wolf in swedish)
Roffe ( swedish for famous wolf)
Thorbjorn( Thor's bear)
Galahad
Bardolph ( means bright wolf)

Thanks - I really like Brutus, but that's the name off the Boston terrier next door. Can't do that!

OMG Chip, that is one insanely cute pup!!!! How about Bruno? That was the name of the dog in The Triplets of Belleville. I also LOVE WVD's recommendation of Thorbjorn -- that would go nicely with your current dogs' names. You could also do a little bit of research into the geography where the St. Bernard originated and possibly find a lake or mountain with a pretty name....or you could just name it Ricola.

When I read Ricola, I laughed out loud and scared the puppy! Again, I like Bruno, but it's Val's sister's last name - and they live across the street. Thorbjorn is interesting - what is it - or he? Yeah, we've been researching both the breed and geography for names.

He so big he looks like he would be awkward, so how about Aw key? But make it one word to be different Awkey? Just a thought, I think it's cool!

ok, 10 weeks, 32 lbs.

What are your plans for obedience training?

Please tell me you are looking into it.

Well, our two Newfoundlands were trained by a police dog trainer who moonlights. So we'll probably use the same guy. Yeah, we DO work with our dogs - early and often! I'm amazed when I see people who let the dogs rule the roost - Val and I are the alpha dogs in our house.

Thank you Chip.

I'm glad there are still some responsible pet owners out there.

Oh, I lovethe name Ludwig! so cute.

Here are a few more, but looks like Ludwig may be it, huh?

Brinker
Vader
Gunnar or Gunther
Sebastian (I think that was a St. Bernard in a movie too)
Crispin
Duncan
Rufus
Armin


Keep us updated on his growth. He will be huge any day now!!

My cousin had a St. Bernard his name was( FRED). He tore up the Cumberland Valley vet waiting room. Back when Doc Bennit was there. Full grown he weighed 145lbs.

My next name pick is: JUSTICE Since your a Lawyer

why dont you just name him Nonobaddogwedonteatsocks? that way, he won't get confused?? <3

nice dog, chip!

Barrister... you could call him Barry.

Manilow? :puke:

oops... didn't think about that..... don't want a gay dog here... not that there's anything wrong with that...

He is so big and cute, how about Goliathe? You know like David.....

I thought of some more names for you, Chip! Since you have a dessert shop, how about calling it Mousse? And people would think you're saying "Moose" because he's so big. Another idea, I know you like beer, how about Porter? It would have a double meaning since St. Bernards have the reputation of bringing barrels of booze to stranded skiers, so they are porters themselves, in a sense. And someone else mentioned Tort since you're an attorney, but you could spell it "Torte" like the dessert. I love me some wordplay.

Hubby suggested Blancmange but that's a little too insidey IMO, dessert-wise.

Barry was also the most famous St. Bernard as he saved hundreds of lives in the Swiss Alps.

Tiny, Slobber, Ranger, and Boss

Hizzoner or Your Honor.

Or you could call him "Bailiff".......he looks like he will be big enough to do the job! Or maybe "Bountyhunter"!

kegger! here boy! <3

How about

Abe, its a good honest name

Or, maybe something from a favorite cult classic movie...like the detention guy in Breakfast Club

Oh, he's beautiful! When I was a teenager we had a St. Bernard/Great Pyranese mix named Brandy, but of course she was a female

My sister has a Newfy named Tiny... he's a BIG sweetheart!

Personally, I really like Barrister...but instead of Barry for short I would call him Bear

MORE PICTURES OF THE PUPPY!!!

My favorite dog names are Guinness and Zeus.

Sorry, my last dog was Guinness!

I think we're down to Ludwig or Gromit. He's in the office with me today, BTW. Great at shredding, but can't file worth a damn.

Tough day at the office

awww. sweety huggy baby!!!

Great minds... lol. I think I like Ludwig then, it seems to fit.

Yeah, sweety huggy baby times two!! ahhhhh.....

Ludwig--great name, but can he write an opus?

::light bulb goes on:: Lugwig Opus Stewart!! hee hee.

Esq.
