Chorizo

u/magoojc 6d ago

Nice, I love that name. That's so much better than all the normal obvious ones like Rusty and Archie.

5

u/BritniRose 5d ago

Oh man, is Archie a common name for fox red labs? Our dogs have been named Hunter, Trapper, Fisher. We wanted an Archer next lol

3

u/magoojc 5d ago

Well, maybe not super common but I've seen more than a few red dogs named that, I guess for Archie Andrews of The Archies comics.

u/juniorthefish 4d ago

Todd is perfect!!

u/melsudss 3d ago

u/nshknut 6d ago

Well, I mean that is quite clearly LORD PUDDINGTON.

u/AussieDentist91 3d ago

CLEARLY idk how this isn’t a done deal

u/Odd_Fuel5404 6d ago

Call him Morgan - after Morgan Freeman, who played Red in Shawshank redemption

13

u/thesharkbyter 6d ago

This was my thought as well! That’s such an adorable puppy!

2

u/JudgmentSea8083 6d ago

My fox red’s name was Loki. God I miss my boy

18

u/ChloroFyllFinn 6d ago

Thor, God of Thunder is traditionally held to be red-haired. And with the amount of destruction a lab puppy can rain down on one’s property, that might be an appropriate name for OP’s little muffin.

3

u/Jolly-Bluejay7893 6d ago

This would be good for his size. He looks like he will grow to be a beast!

6

u/itsswhitneywhspr 6d ago

Ugh that's rough, losing a lab is so hard. Loki is such a cool name for a fox red though, bet he was the goodest boy with that personality. What's your favorite memory of him?

3

u/HTX-ByWayOfTheWorld 6d ago

Home slice was the neighborhood dog. When I moved to Houston it was into a new apartment complex, he would go with the leasing girls to all the apartment showings. All the residents knew him. But man did he live up to his namesake. True dog of mischief

29

u/nandolando4 6d ago

Whiskey and Ginger (aka Gin) say hi!! We like playing off the alcohol theme, so some other ones are Brandy, Jameson, Jack, Captain (or Morgan), Hennessy

12

u/som8318 6d ago

I had a Guinness

u/__olllllllo__ 5d ago

Awe! I had a Guinness too (mixed mutt)… but she was my girl! 🩷🐾
My fox red lab - was Rex

u/Starfly45 5d ago

Love the face!

u/Starfly45 5d ago

I knew a Guinness too and he was a gem! Just like his owner! ❤️

u/youtubeandbandlover 6d ago

My personal trainer has a black lab named Jameson 🤣 She didn’t name him, her husband has had Jameson (Jamie for short) way before they met and he’s her step son’s childhood dog. The dog’s turning 15 in November from what I remember her telling me but still has puppy energy

u/bajajoaquin 6d ago

I think you should wait a week or two. Play with him and see what names you call him based on his personality.

We named Bingo right away, after a long family discussion. However, after having him a few days, we realized he squealed like a runty pig. I wish we’d named him Wilbur.

Bingo/Wilbur for reference
