Erny Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Do you like African names for RRs? Hi PF and yes I do. There was a list around here, but I can't find it. It gave the english 'meaning' of the names too. Think it might have been in 'general forum'. I'll have another look later. Also, there's a bit of a theme for names, it seems, on the father's side ..... "Elvis"; "Pink Floyd". So trying to think of a band or singer with a great name that has some 'ring' to it, and that would suit. I don't know. I'm a bit of a blank at the moment, but the usual broken sleep that comes with house training isn't helping. I think it is time for me to have a cup of coffee ............. But thanks for the 'cheers' and congrats everyone. I have a few photo's of him getting stuck into a chicken frame. Will be 'clicking' here and there throughout the day and will put some more piccies up as soon as I can. Cosmolo .... even though I appreciate the name suggestion and votes from others, I agree - this isn't going to be a "Roger" dog. A friend of mine from many years back was "Roger" and I'd keep thinking I'd be calling him, not my pup. Besides, him and puppy look nothing alike .

Then we need to explore African singers/bands Mambazo.. as in Ladysmith Black Mambazo.. love those guys. Mambazo means axe. He'd be Mambo for short.

poodlefan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Then we need to explore African singers/bands Mambazo.. as in Ladysmith Black Mambazo.. love those guys. Mambazo means axe. He'd be Mambo for short. Axe??? As in "Axe murderer"? From LBM's bio: The name LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO came about as a result of winning every singing competition in which the group entered. "Ladysmith" is the hometown of the Shabalala family; "Black" references the black oxen, considered to be the strongest on the farm. The Zulu word "Mambazo" refers to an ax - symbolic of the group's ability to "chop down" the competition. So good were they that after a time they were forbidden to enter the competitions but welcomed, of course, to entertain at them. If you're going to be training this 200 obedience dog that people wont' enter comps against (that will be in a couple of months wont' it), then axing the competition will become the norm. ETA. Linky for African Boys Names How about Daktari?? I used to love that show. I like Gamba (Warrior) very apt for Ridgie Edited August 7, 2008 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lab_Rat Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Welcome to your new bundle of joy Erny :laugh: Im sorry, but being a ridgie owner, I find it quite ironic that your introducing your Ridgie in the Traning/Obedience thread............that said, please keep us all up to date with little "Rijstone Ry Cooder"'s progress. (No offence intended of course!!!). Ahhh, I can see it now, "Gr.Ch. Rijstone Ry Cooder UDX". He certainly is a gorgeous little tyke, more pictures please!

Erny Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Welcome to your new bundle of joy Erny Im sorry, but being a ridgie owner, I find it quite ironic that your introducing your Ridgie in the Traning/Obedience thread............ LOL ..... I have always enjoyed a challenge ...that said, please keep us all up to date with little "Rijstone Ry Cooder"'s progress. (No offence intended of course!!!). :rolleyes: ..... not sure if I understand the reference to "Ry Cooder" .... or whether I should? Ahhh, I can see it now, "Gr.Ch. Rijstone Ry Cooder UDX". .... we'll see ;). He certainly is a gorgeous little tyke, more pictures please! Thanks. Have a few piccies. My little man certainly found his voice and I promise you it is a big one. I will get to the piccies as soon as I can. Must admit I've been busy putting into practice all the stuff I have in the past recommended other people to do. Glad I can't be quoted as saying it is easy. Feel free to PM me training tips for say, recall and heel, and Be Quiet! :cool: Thanks RG. I'll bear that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Found another link to RR names (was the one I was thinking of in "general"). RR Names I'm going through it now to see if there's something there that 'grabs' me. ETA : ... Wish I could understand all the translations :rolleyes: My sister suggested "Mandela", after Nelson Mandela. Edited August 7, 2008 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ooh, gorgeous. Congrats on welcoming Chacha to your home :rolleyes: Going by the link to the list I put up (above) .... I think that's a girl's name? Unless I am mistaken, because the translation is not to english. But then it's all in a language I don't understand, so maybe I have the 'boys' and 'girls' mixed up???
