Original dog names

Thursday March 31st, 2011

Did you know that a puppy is born without teeth? When the pup is three to four weeks old, 28 teeth will break through the gums so the puppy will be able to eat solid food.

	I have a male rottweiler named Z or we sometimes call him Zemonator, a female pit bull whose name is Nyxie. I now have an 8 week old male rottweiler that I cannot figure out a name for. My husband insists on calling him Kittty, he thinks it will be hilarious when he gets older. That is the only name he will even come to. Anyone have any ideas, I don't want him to be that kid on the playground getting picked on his whole life because of his name. LOL Anyway, any unique suggestions you can email me at dreamride24@yahoo.com, Thanks a bunch about 2 years ago by Anonymous

	I have a 1yr old rottie and his name is Sir Jelani Aswad--"Jelani" is a Swahili male name that means strong, powerful, providing protection, and "Aswad" is a Swahilie male name that simply means black, dark in nature, or naturally dark--I felt that these meanings were a perfect fit for a male rottie because he is a protector, he is strong, and he is naturally black--and there you have it and original name --Jelani Aswad! over 3 years ago by Anonymous
