Boo-boo?

[JBM]

A rescue near me were surrendered six 4 month old Samoyeds. I have no idea how someone can’t sell Samoyed pups!
Their coats are in bad condition I went to see them Sunday and I will be taking one home Sunday coming
OH wants to name him BooBoo after the other bear..I think I’m going to sound ridiculous calling that out at night

 

[druid]

They look rather heavy/blocky in the head to be pure Samoyeds?

 

[CorvusCorax]

At first glance they look like white LSH GSDs

Best of luck, I wouldn't be going with Boo Boo either!!

 

[ArklePig]

He's adorable! I agree you'll sound ridiculous shouting Boo Boo

 

[Goldenstar]

I would feel silly as well shouting BooBoo however dogs are adept of learning different names .

 

[skinnydipper]

What about Arthur or Artie for his name? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artur

 

[ycbm]

How about Baloo?

 

[JBM]

Bear looked very similar as a pup!
They usually grow into their hair
Apparently they are pure Samoyed but I don’t mind either way
He was the biggest there and seemed to really love us

How about Wojtek?

I wouldn’t be sure of my pronunciation

I wouldn’t be sure of my pronunciation

Very simple, really - voy-tek!

You could tell your OH that calling for BooBoo runs the risk of sounding like you’re just shouting for boobs

 

[Jenko109]

Booboo is just awful, sorry!

You can't.

 

[JBM]

I may be able to shift him to waffle but not sure I get much else

 

[Jenko109]

Waffle is quite sweet.

 

[skinnydipper]

Do you take the dog off the property for exercise? Is your OH quite happy to stand calling for Boo Boo in earshot of adults?

Yes and yes he lacks the ability to feel embarrassed

Interesting, I work with a couple of Samoyed breeders and am much more used to a finer head.

Either way he is lovely and I hope you enjoy him.

 

[Clodagh]

He’s gorgeous. Boo is ok? If necessary!

Every other dog seems to be called Waffle at the moment, though I have to say I'm not a fan of Booboo either.

 

[Zoeypxo]

How about teddy? Hes lovely

 

[ElectricChampagne]

Omg the floofs!

I'm glad I didn't see them, I'd want one too.

I said it on another thread but puppy uglies in double coated dogs are frigging hilarious and just too cyoot.

I kinda like BooBoo, it a cute name.

Can't wait to see more photos when he does come home

 

[nagblagger]

Please don't call him BooBoo, I have a collie called Chase (already named), when he runs off after a rabbit etc I am calling 'Chase', to the unknown person it sounds as if I am encouraging bad behaviour.

 

[JBM]

How about teddy? Hes lovely

I love it but again OH doesn’t I’m trying to drive home waffle but I think he’s sticking to it to annoy me

Possibly maybe the difference between show and working? Bear has a massive head and little WAFFLE (hopefully) seems to be the same

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Just what I was going to say!

 

[TheresaW]

I knew a horse called Boo! We have Bobo, but he’s always just called Bo.

My friends horse was called Boo as well he was an Arab.

My ersatz Labrador, also known as a coconut retriever (he came back from the Caribbean with us) was called Bubu. It was derived from Tabu Impia, which means "another trouble" in Swahili. My children struggled with the Tabu, and it came out Bubu and it stuck. Although as is always the way with pets it was truncated even further to just Bu (Boo). He was an absolutely cracking dog. When he was three months old he attacked a burglar all by himself. The burglar had puppy needle marks in his ankle as he tried to climb out of a window. The police caught him the next day as he tried to get his bleeding ankles treated in the local hospital. Bu also saw off a stray dog that came into my house and was trying to see into my baby's cot (I was in the bath and could see this in the mirror - unfortunately I was nursing a C-section and couldn't scramble out of the bath very fast at all). This huge black and white shenzi job had put its paws on the edge of the cot and was sniffing. Bu came out of nowhere at a flat out, baying gallop and charged the intruder, head down and straight into the dog's side. The intruder was flipped in the air, scrabbled to its feet and raced out of the door, Bu in hot pursuit.

So, BooBoos, or Bubus, can be heroes, too.
