| Change his name? Ok, we could not come up with a name for our pup for over a week that we all liked. I wanted to whole family help pick the name to make him a family pet. Well after a whole week with a new name every day we settled on Chubacca... Chewy. But I don't like the name, my son says change it, my hubby says he doesn't care.. and my daughter says no he knows his name don't change it. Chewy is now 6 months... What does every one think??? </IMG>

| Gosh that's a tough one. I would imagine it would be ok to change his name to something that sounded similar to Chewy. I thought about changing Hallie's name when I got her and she was 2 1/2 but decided against it. I didn't have a particular reason though. Good luck with your decision |

| If you beleive he knows his name and you want to change it, say the new name and the then say Chewy right after it. He will soon begin to associate the new name with the old name, and you can drop the old name. For what it's worth. I like the name Chewy |

My furkids Donating Member | My Parents rescued a schnauzer when she was 7 months old...They didn't like the name they were calling her so they changed her name to Heidi...She adjusted to her name really well...When you rescue a dog they usually already had a name...and(not knowing what their name was) you are going to name them what you want....they learn their name...I feel if you want to change his name it shouldn't be a problem.

| You can change your dog's name any time you want. I have had so many pets - that I'm always calling mine by the wrong name anyway. And - they could care less. And now that I think of it --- I came from a large family and my mother called me and my brothers and sisters by the wrong name half the time. ***** And - don't some of us have three or four different names we call our pets anyway!!!!! Mine is Murphy - Hey you - Sweetie - little mutt - and a lot of other things. "You stinker" is a name he knows well. Good luck - Carol Jean |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I know I'm a little late replying to this post, but I say if you don't like his name, change it!

| I'd change his name before he learns the one that you don't like. |
