MrPanda and PandaKid say the dog’s name should be Cody. What is the name the dog came with? It’s gonna be a pain to change it and he’s gonna be confused for a while 😕 (I did change my puppy’s name, though - he was Brownie at first and we changed it to Sammy.) ---

Shiner. My Australian Shepherd pupppy’s litter name was Shiner because of an eye patch like that. My wife hated the name and I lost. So ‘Shiner’. Or Booger, just because. ---

It’s gonna be a pain to change it and he’s gonna be confused for a while 😕 (I did change my puppy’s name, though - he was Brownie at first and we changed it to Sammy.) I really thought you’d suggest Panda. But you didn’t so I’ll say Panda or Pandy. ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > How about Shiner? > mmm Great suggestion! Border collies are smart. So going with that trait, I’d suggest “Einstein” or maybe “Albert” if you want to be a little less obvious. Watch for the herding instinct to come out. An old roommate of mine had a border collie that tried to herd ants. ---
