Friends,

I'm getting a male German Shepherd pup in a couple of months and I would like to give him a German name. I haven't met him yet, and I have to name him on my own.

I have some ideas for a name, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Be Safe.

Joe

PS: I've been lost without Rocky.   It's about time....

Hans

One syllable names are better for dogs as I'm told.

Some of those other names are . They may be messing with you.  Sturm, Blitz ,Gestapo, Swinehund! FTW

My buddy named his Shepard Hans (like Javelinahunter suggested), but I think that was a strategic Freudian "Star Wars" slip/move.

Tiberius was his first choice, but a good punch to the solar plexus knocked that stupid idea from his mind.

I've always liked Gephard. It means "brave or hardy gift". I also like Dieter which means "warrior of the people" or "people's army".

I like either SIG or KOCH.  SIG is too similar in pronunciation to "sit" command and he might get confuse.  My pick will be KOCH (you know my EDC).

I am (one of) the top companion dog trainers in America.  I've published two books, and have the #1 commercial dog training site on the internet.  If you'd be interested in working a "trade of skills" –– my shooting (and knife fighting) can always use some work.  And in exchange, I can show you how to get your dog to listen to you, anywhere you go.  [If you're looking for working dog training, I can teach you how to lay a proper foundation for your pup, and then hook you up with  some of the best in the business when the dog is old enough to start formal working dog training (be it Schutzhund, Ring, or PP).  

I'm not trying to sell you on anything.  I don't need the money, and I can afford to pay for the gun training.  I just think that the idea of trade for something like this kinda intrigues me.

All the best,
Adam.

What do you charge an hour....I have a pit bull who is the sweetest dog in the world but his obedience is a lil shakey.  Ive been thinking about some advanced training.  He is around two now.

AS FOR NAMES...go with something that doesnt sound pompass.....get something that will fit his personality.  For my pit I went with ROWDY...boy did he grow into that.

I don't really work with the general public anymore.  Now it's 100% publishing.  But I generally recommend Sit Means Sit, locally.  A lot depends on which individual trainer you get, though.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I need to find out what the name means. I was also thinking about Gaston (after Gaston Glock).

Thanks for all the responses.

I guess I'll have to wait until I get him home (in about eight weeks) and see what his personality is and then go from there.

Thanks again.

I just checked with my German speaking girlfriend, and Sig Sauer doesn't ring any bells for her, other than Sauer means sour. SIG must be an acronym or something.

Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG), German for "Swiss Industrial Company"

Sieg means victory. It also has a runic equivalent.
