Need help naming my Austrailian Cattle Dog.

@Askance

All Australian dogs are called “Dog”, aside from a few called “Deefer”.

and the other tiny few called “getoutofthatyoudopymongrel”

I also endorse the statement that there are no Australian cattlemen called “Rudy” Nor are there any called Chet, Biff or Randy.

[tavalla]

Deefer. Or Bruce.

[sandra_nz]

The dog on Neighbours was called Bouncer. I can’t think of anything more Australia to suggest.

[Doctor_Jackson]

Leet’s see, something to do with Australia, blue heels, male and cattle. Hmm.

How about Spot?

[tapu]

I’ve got a second to spare here.

RUDY

[Cold_Dish]

I gotta ask. Who’s Rudy?

@Cold_Dish

Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger?

Rudy (film)

All of my working dogs (border collies) have been given one syllable names (my trainer told me that works better yelled across a pasture) so I would like to suggest Ned

[Spiderman]

@tapu

Just don’t name him Chuckles. I once heard a woman in Boston Common yelling, CHUCKLES, COME HERE! DAMMIT, CHUCKLES, I SAID COME HERE!! And I thought, Man, if you’re going to be yelling at your dog like that, for sure don’t name him Chuckles.

A radio DJ had a dog named, “Stain”. I’ll let you figure out how he called that dog.

Chicken Chaser

or

Ceaseless** Barker**

Kelly’s first documented brush with the law was on 15 October 1869 at the age of 14 when he was charged with the assault and robbery of Ah Fook, a pig and fowl trader from a Chinese camp near Bright.

Ned Kelly

Ned is a good name for a dog. So is Kelly. But now I’m leaning more towards Ah Fook.

How about Potoroo for this lesser known cute little marsupial?

As a Brit my mind also turns to Australian Soaps so Jason, Kylie, Pippa, Alf, Sally, Madge, Harold, Karl or Susan.

My late cattledog. And my late cat, and my late snake.

You can’t name your male cattledog Pippa. :rolleyes: And someone above said my Rudy would be teased… right.

[tapu]

How about Heck? Or, Jesus.

The beauty of these is seeing how people react when you suddenly yell out, HECK! Or, JESUS!

@tapu

That’s a terrible name for a dog!! What’s the matter with you?

@tapu

Yeah, I got it. Hey, maybe you’d have gotten my rejoinder if I’d made it “That’s a terrible name for a cattle dog!”

Yes, if things were different, then things would be different. I understood your rejoinder based on what you actually wrote. Both times. If you had written something different, readers would still have understood the point(S) you were making.

What the hell does that mean? Ah, I suspect you’re gunning for me.

Not at all. I can only read what you wrote. I’m not responsible for what you meant to say.

Just to clarify, I’ve never suggested the possibility of unwarranted mistrust and suspicion, or a hypersensitivity to the words or actions of others, or suggested a possibility of rigidity of emotions or behavior.

I happen to like the name “Rudy”.

Opal.

Just Opal w/o any obligatory greetings, salutations, whatever… just Opal.
