Some of our dogs have had names since before we got them. Meaning a name would come to mind and we would say, “our next dog is going to be named Barney or Odie” and when we got thenext dog we would do it.

Other dogs have named themselves. After a few days of living with the dog the name would present it's self, such as Doc or Hoot.

Good luck with your heeler, we had one named Boss Dog because right away he started herding the other dogs, cats and our family. He tried to be the boss.
