Nooooooooooooooo!!

Please, please, please,

Not 'Scott' for a scottie dog!!! Everyone you meet for the next 14-16 years will think you've got no imagination. (No offence).

I say you start a new thread where we can all put in suggestions for your new dogs name & then have a closing time of say 8pm tommorrow. Please tell your family to hold off naming the dog until all the votes have been counted (or you all see a suggestion that you all prefer).

If after that you don't find anything that you like (or is suitable) then by all means call him Scott.

Pleeeeaaaasse.

TSC.

(& please - sensible suggestions people!! a young doggie's street cred hangs in the balance here).

(pps: 'Alfonso' - Now that IS cool!! That I like).

LMAO. sorry but it is decided. It has nothing to do with lack of imagination, because it isnt a scottie dog. Its a westie not that most people can tell the differance, myself included. Trust me, my mum is into naming our pets after ancient greek figures.  :-X I am not risking it as she did hand over the cash for him.

[TSC.]

Ah well - seeing as it's a Westie then i'll let you off  :D

I still think Alfonso is cool though.

Shame really - if it had of gone to a vote then I was gonna put 'Scott' just to be arsie.

Best of luck with 'Mr Alfonso Scott' - he looks cool.

Cheers,

TSC.

lol thanks.
Like i said while he may be my dog, i didnt get much say as my portion of the funding was minor:) Just happy to have him. Alfonso to me, scott to everyone else.

Maybe he doesn't like small yapper type dogs.


If you want to be really unoriginal then you've got to call him Cesar.

[Scottler]

No, I just don't like dogs being named after me.

I know 2 Westies, both named Hamish.

PS. Here's one. Lives just across the road. I took this some time last year. At least, I think it's a Westie. Don't know the difference myself. They have 2 now but I forget the other one's name.

Cute... not a bad breed if you like 'em small- they are playful and affectionate, if a little hyper. Pretty smart, too.  I agree that firm, quiet, consistent discipline is the best way to keep a little guy like that more or less under control- and for God's sake, don't ever corner him (got a nasty surprise from a tiny terrier/poodle mix once when I did that)!!

They're like real live teddy bears.

You're right about that. My sister-in-law was scarred for life when she startled hers, many years ago now when she was a little girl. It nipped her in the top lip then ran away & hid under the table. She said it was her own fault & never blamed the dog for it. She's crazy about animals.

I remembered the other Westie's name. It's Hector.

lol thanks guys. Terriers think they are the size of alsations, our old one was exactly the same. I think the difference is in the size and the ears. westies look a little smaller than scotties.
