No names to add, but congratulations! We have a wheaten and they are wonderful dogs.

Nice one OP. You should name him after your vet because he is going to have a whole host of problems from all his imbreeding, his poor Mother



Eh. We have a wheaten currently from the same breeder (12 years old) and he is a wonderful dog with no issues. We went with what we knew would work for our family.

Thanks for the advice, y'all!

I was going to suggest something from an Irish fairy tale. Maybe Oisin, Cú Chulainn, Finn McCool, etc.

But I really do like Fergus. Of course my Irish husband has a cousin by that name.

I like Duffy. (A dog trainer once told me it's helpful to give dogs names starting with a hard consonant so dogs can hear their name more easily.)

I have a soft spot for Fergus though:

How so? What are some better names?


How is it analogous? Because it tries to name the dog in a clever way based on the dog's inherent qualities. Snoooooooze. Any name. Something that doesn't turn on some cute little attribute of the dog. There are millions.

We'll go with Buddy then. Or Max?

I vote for Fergus.

My dog is Dryfeus and I will keep Fergus on my next list.

Aren't you worried about offending Irish people?
