I got a Shiba Inu pup this weekend. A male around 11lbs, and 12 weeks old.

I decided earlier that I was gonna name him Bomber (reason being b/c I live in NYC and love the Yanks. Bronx bombers = dog's name bomber). But I dunno if that name is really that great. However I'm having a really hard time thinking of another name, so why not come to TWW for help (yeah its sad i know). Below is a pic, please make some suggestions. Thanks

I think he looks like Bomber fits, but if you don't like that you can go for something equally masculine (read "war-like") but with a less obvious connotation...

9/25/2006 8:45:19 PM

My girlfriend has one of these guys, though he looks a little different (head is more siberian looking than yours).

They named him Ace.

9/25/2006 9:05:33 PM

my neighbor back in the day had a 100 percetn siberian husky they named brutus

that was a pretty bad ass dog and they pimped it out and got one from each litre

where'd you get him?

I wanted one of these dogs for awhile, but couldn't find any for less than $texas in the states. I almost brought one back from japan with me, but don't think a dog bought in a park would have made it through customs

bomber may not be the best name if the dog gets away and you end up running around nyc screaming "Bomber!" to get him back

but other than that, thats a good looking dog Pat

^^^^yeah i didn't get that either

^^hahaha, nice.

Thanks Dennis and others. I have thought about the problem with yelling out bomber in NYC if I can't find him

miska, I got him from Icewind Farms in NJ near the border of PA. http://www.icewindfarm.com/ All their pups seem to be very well cared for and bred. As far as your definition of $texas, it might differ from mine. If you want to know how much I paid for him you can PM me, I'd rather not post it on here.
