[QUOTE=PastAllReason] All that and no suggestion for Guinness, **irishgirl**? Very cute puppy, indeed. Congratulations to the floppy family. [/QUOTE] Thank you. The last one was named Guinness. His full AKC kennel name was _Guinness Stout of Ardoon._ šŸ™‚ (Ardoon was his fatherā€™s line). I really like Boddington and Mrs. Floppy likes it too. I also like _Smithwicks_ or _Smitty_ for short. Keep 'em coming. ---

I sort of always wanted to call a dog ā€œRed Dogā€. Other than that, add me to the thumbs-up crowd for Boddington. ---

Before I saw the beer rule I thought he looked like a Wilbur. Murphy or Lager sound god to me. However, you may want to hold off on the naming thing until he comes home for good so you can get a sense for his personality and let that influence the name you give him. We have a [Shiba Inu](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/bedgyro/Kirin.jpg) named [Kirin](http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sku=00000000686&sasrc=HomeNav&N=168+41+4294962250+4294956626&Nr=Store%3A99&Nr=Store%3A99&area=beer); we didnā€™t name her that until the drive home. (Her older [step-sister](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/bedgyro/Bailey03.jpg) is named Bailey and her [littermate](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/bedgyro/Raven02.jpg) was named Raven by the breeder, and when we adopted her we were able to find a [beer](http://www.ravenbeer.com/home.html) to match.) ---

Well, picked him up last night and brought him home. I present ā€¦ BARLEY [![](https://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa80/bmoresteve/DSC01115.jpg) ](https://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa80/bmoresteve/DSC01115.jpg) His full name is ā€˜Sir Barly Wine of Cooley Millā€™. He likes to poop but we just couldnā€™t call him ā€˜Poopā€™. Thanks dopers and dopettes for all you suggestions. ---
