A 9 week-old Miniature Schnauzer joined our household yesterday!We have been wracking our brains trying to find the perfect dog name. At this point we are seriously overthinking this, We have been referring to him as Johann Doe, but the poor guy seriously needs a real name!Looking forward to reading your ideas!

Congratulations!! Personally, I have never been able to choose a name for man, nor beast-letting other's have the task. I'm never one to use anyone's given name, everyone gets a nickname! I'm sure you'll get many suggestion!

five miles, any time the Dr's ask you if you got any exercise you can tell them you walked 5 miles this morning.

We always give our dogs human names. Our mini schnauzer was Duncan and our boxer was Gunnar. Both German dogs. We had our Duncan for 12 years. Great dog, great name. :)

We decided he exhibits a lot of the properties of the scientific element Mercury. So, Mercury he is, and he is known as Merc or Merky for short!

Slippery little dickens, is he? :W One thing is for sure, nobody else's dog will come running when you call him! :B

Yep, wait awhile and he will tell you what his name is. Pick something that "hollers good" as in: you leaning out the door and hollering, "XXXXX" cut that out right now! :B

Congrats on your new pal.
