My first thought was that it has something to do with the golf term. The first boy I had a crush on in middle school shared the name, and his dad named him after the golf term…
Can we see a picture of your Bogie? The dog, I mean.
The dog looks like Humphrey Bogart.
My first thought was Humphrey Bogart…“cheerful yet with a slightly solemn face” is not *exactly *how I’d describe him, though…
I’d first think Humphrey Bogart and hope you that cool. Then I’d think, “Maybe golf term,” which would put you on the suspicious persons to keep an eye on, since I’ve met so very few cool or interesting people who golf regularly enough to assign terms as names of their dogs. 
I’m glad it turned out to be the former.
The only thing I could think of offhand was Humphrey Bogart.
After reading other replies, I do recognize the other uses as a golf term or for an enemy aircraft in a dogfight, but not having ever participated in either activity myself they didn’t come to mind.
Same with “bogart” wrt not sharing a joint. I’ve never toked the weed, and in any case, I wouldn’t think the verb could be shortened to “bogie” since it’s already a two-syllable word that’s not getting any shorter. (Though what makes sense when you’re stoned doesn’t really have to make any sense.)
He’s named after Humphrey Bogart?
Without reading the thread closely, Humphrey Bogart.
Great name for a puppy, but big shoes to fill. Does he smoke? Can he pull off a white dinner jacket? Is he sexy without being typically sexy?
Vector zero-nine-zero for bogey.
I’ve got bogeys on my six! Bogeys all over me!!!
Um, yeah, enemy aircraft.

A bogie for fighter aircraft means an unknown aircraft. A bandit is a known enemy. The above citation indicates that even fighter pilots intermingle them. But since this is pedant central, I thought I’d offer this bit of trivia.
Humphrey, then those things that go under the ends of railway cars and hold the wheels (though I think those are spelt ‘bogeys’.)
You no doubt have a hat from a reputable milliner.
You went to my High School?
“Bogie” is my HS Chemistry And Physics teacher’s nickname, from whom most of us learned not just Chemistry and Physics but also Math (we had bad math teachers). Short for Bogart (Humphrey), as Bogie (Humphrey) is a differential amount less cool than the teacher.
Again, thanks for all the replies. Bogie does have big shoes to fill; fortunately, he is freakishly large for a lab and has gigantic paws, which should help. Also, he likes to get dressed up (if you give him enough treats he’ll do your taxes) so now I need to get my mom and Sweet Pea on a white dinner jacket for him. He’ll look as smooth as the Bogie.
We do have fun with the name in regards to the unknown enemy fighters, if he starts running into another room or something. “Incoming Bogie!” is shouted a bit. It was helpful when he was a puppy and we couldn’t always see him, its helpful now that he’s almost nine months old and just over 100 pounds.
I’ve asked my Sweet Pea to put up some pictures of puppy Bogie to compare to Humphrey and when he gets a chance, he will. I hadn’t planned on any pictures until the proper meet Bogie thread, so didn’t have anything ready online. I’ll post a link to pictures when he’s gotten a chance to do it.
About the solemn, yet cheerful, look when he sees his family come home he’s incredibly happy and his waggly tail syndrome kicks in. More often than not though, ever since he was a little puppy of 10 weeks old, he’s mostly had a solemn expression on his face. He also works the eyebrows a lot like Humphrey. Now I need to go find a fedora for him.
Humphrey Bogart, then ‘booger’ (sorry), then bogeyman, then a bogey being something to do with railway lines I think?..
In Britain, “bogey” is more frequently used than “booger” (to mean booger, of course). It would be a very strange thing to name a dog! Some people might make the link to Humphrey Bogart.
I once met a guy from…I forget where. Somewhere near Yugoslavia, I think. His name was Bogdan, and he went by Bogie.
Yep, this, although if you’re going to go with the railway wheel set option, you really need two. Of course in North America, he’d then more likely be called ‘truck’.
