The W-litter is going to be 6 weeks old tomorrow! They are too old and I am having a puppy crisis I am not ready to let them go in two weeks! OK the secret is out at 6 weeks I always panic like this. I think there is no possible way these babies can leave in a mere two weeks. Further crisis we have no name ideas! I stand corrected, I have one name idea from Charlene and that is “Wicked.” But I need more, please give me your suggestions. We are looking for names that start with W for their registered names, their call name can be anything the owners want.
Thank you in advance!
Update on the W-litter pups. They are eating kibble straight-up, they are fat and chubby. For those of you I am always after because your dogs are fat do not take this as permission to have fat dogs! they can only be fat and chubby for the first three months of their lives. The pups continue to be precocious in their development, they all do their business in their litter and keep their eating, sleeping area clean. They make several trips outside daily, duration depends on the the outside temperature. They love balls and baby kongs already and they know how to bite toes really, really hard. Stiff jeans does not inhibit their biting ability. Dark green boy has a full hard bite already, he is a monster. Pictures soon, I promise.
when I thought I might be getting a W puppy I also had these name ideas (call name first, then registered name if different):
-Wish (Wish Upon a Star, Wish List, Wishing Well, etc)
-Winter
-Win (Winning Colors)
-Wynona
I also like Win and Winter
Others:
Walker
West
Willie (my childhood GSD’s name)
Wolf or Wolfie
Weaver
Wilbur
Washington
Wendy
Wisdom
Willow
Willa
I really like Willa.
Julie do you always one ‘one name’ names or longer or both?
You could go with a cities in Minnesota theme as a throwback to your past
-Wanamingo
-Wabasha
-Winona
-Wayzata
-Winnebago
-Winnetka
-Waseca
-Waconia
-Willmar
-Walker
-Worthington
Of course, it is Minnesota, so there are a thousand more W city options not listed here…
Very clever thinking!
Or some random thoughts:
-Whiplash
-Wealth
-Whiskers
-Wisdom
-Wolfgang
-Wizzard
-Watchdog
-Wonder
-Whistler
-Whiffer (good for a tracking dog prospect)
-Window (Lily’s input)
-Wonder Woman (am I running out of ideas already?)
-Wheel of Fortune
-Whirlwind
-Wonderificyourterrific (another one from Lily)
Wonderificyourterrific (another one from Lily) is my FAV! Way to go Lily! I seriously am considering using this name for one of the girls.
Ask Lily if I named a puppy “Wonderificyouterrific” what would the call name be? The short name that we call the puppy?
Hmmmmm…
I could ask her. But without new pictures of the W litter puppies, I’m not sure she’ll have much to say.
Yep – I went there. Blackmail! You want a call name to go with ‘Wonderificyourterrific’ then you provide new puppy pictures and no one will get hurt. 🙂
Okay, okay. Idle threat.
Lily says the call name for ‘Wonderificyourterrific’ would be Wonder. 🙂
LOL I was taking your threat seriously too! One of the girls really likes that name, she was responding to it. A call names were starting to morph Wonda, Flicka, Terri
Doh!! I let my Minnesota nice get the best of me! I shouldn’t have folded so quickly….
Waldemar
Wasilla
Included with the purchase of each W litter pup should be a full bite suit for owner safety. 🙂
“Dark green boy has a full hard bite already, he is a monster. Pictures soon, I promise.”
Way to torture me Julie!! I can’t wait to see this little monster!!!
Here’s a few, some of which are from my actor/actress theme I seem to have started 🙂
Wade (Into It)
Walden
Wagner
Walker
Walter
Washington
Wayne
Wendell
Wentworth
Wesley
West
Whitaker
Willis
Winston
Wolfgang
Worthy (Only of the Best)
I think my favorite is “Worthy Only of the Best”
Andrea your names all sound so English! 🙂 I like Walter because it makes me think of Walter Koetters and Wagner would be so cute.
Walter. Call name: Cronkite.
Walter. Call name: Walter!
Oops. Cronkite as a call name really messes up the W litter dogs with W names thing. My apologies. 🙂

Thank you so much for the update, Julie! Scott and I will have to bring an experienced cell extraction team with us to pry our puppy out of your arms in 2 wks! It’s wonderful to hear how strong their little jaws are getting already. We’ll have to wear work boots with steel toes! Can’t wait for pictures of the little monsters! There are so many great suggestions for names already. Here are a few additional boys’ names we like:
Wolfgang
Warrant
Warwick
Wicked
Winchester
Wyatt
Wolfe
Wilhelm
Woden/Wodan
Warner
Webster
Westchester
Whitehall
Wendel
Winfried
Wolfram
It sure would be nice if those of you on the W-puppy list would find a W name that you really liked and used it as your dog’s call name—just saying.
Couldn’t agree more!
I really like the name “Wodan.” He was an ancient Germanic sky god. Wodan was known as Woden or Wotan to the Saxons and later Odin to the Norse. Wodan was also the god of war.
With the “W” pronounced as a “V” (the German pronunciation), the name has a good strong sound. Nice name for our little heaven-sent devil in disguise!
Whoops! My husband hates it – it reminds him of the “Boden’s,” neighbors from his past that he disliked intensely. Oh well.
darn it! I liked it too…
I agree with Carole on keeping the name in the W’s as a nood toward the W litter.
Some of these are repeats, sorry
where is your list Karen?
Me too.
I think the only name I haven’s seen is Whiskey.
What about Waldo as in “Where’s Waldo?”
Ha ha ha ha! I love it Irene!
Boy you have a LOT of names for 6 puppies!
By the time Jack and I got on line most of the names we thought of were already listed.
The only one missing is our favorite New England Patriots player, Wes Welker!
Attention “W” litter puppy owners and Carole…
He would be Alta-Tollhaus Wes Welker, call name either Wes or Welker!!
You are right on the money, Lynda! I like the way you think!
What do you think of this name Beverly?
Are you kidding??? I love it! It’s a nod to the W-litter, and a nod to our favorite football team’s outstanding player! Wes Welker also has a German ring to it that really fits a GSD name. It would be an honor to have that name in the registration, and it’s an easy call name: “Wes! – FASS!”
Note the Welker family name history:
Origins available: Dutch, German
So, it’s also Dutch, our puppy’s name – love that coincidence!
My favorite that I’ve seen on the list is Where’s Waldo! cute.
other suggestions:
Who (A-T Who ya gonna call?)
What
Why
(and others along the same lines)
You are on a roll…
