My new puppy needs a name.....I'm thinking Clubber (as in Clubber Lane, you'll see why) or Maximus. But, I'd like to hear what y'all thought. My Cousin lives in South Carolina and will be bringing me the puppy in a few weeks, so we've got some time to get some good names. I appreciate it in advance.

He's 5 weeks old in this picture, AKC registered, champion bloodlines....Rhodesian Ridgeback.
(both of his parents are massive).
-
Due to the fact that you have been donned the resident sunshine pumper and some make fun or your recruiting posts. You should name him Trooper
-
Maximus, is the name I would choose.
-
Call him Skreet

Here's a little background story behind the breed:
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is intensely loyal to its family and will guard its loved ones at any cost. This means that one should not expect the Ridgeback to warm to strangers right away, and should in fact be careful when the dog is in a situation it may consider threatening. This is not to say, however, that the dog does not have a sensitive side. Quite the contrary: the Rhodesian Ridgeback is very good with children and other pets, so long as it is raised with them from a young age. The breed is also highly intelligent and strong-willed....
The Rhodesian Ridgeback traces its origins to crossbreeding between the Hottentot tribal hunting dogs of South Africa (known for their hair that grows backward along the spine) and the European breeds; Bloodhound, Great Dane, Greyhound, Mastiff, and Pointer. During the 18th century, Boer farmers needed a hardy guardian dog that was capable of serving in a myriad of tasks, all while braving the wilds of Africa. Selective breeding of well domesticated European breeds with the somewhat more wild Hottentot dogs produced just such a breed, and by the 19th century the Rhodesian Ridgeback had become a fixture in South Africa. During the 1870s, a contingent of these dogs were brought to Rhodesia to hunt lions, and their great success in this task earned them the name African Lion Hound and caused them to forever be associated with Rhodesia.
This is what he'll, more than likely, look like when he's "alls growed up":

No, didn't know that. That's kinda disturbing.

But they do help with hunting lions.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is dog breed developed in Southern Africa where it was used (amongst other things) to hunt lions. This is most likely why this dog is known for its bravery.

I really wanted a Ridgeback, but they were insanely expensive. Did you get it for free since it's a family member doing the breeding?
Also, be prepared. Those dogs will jump over an 8 foot fence. The one I knew could jump on top of my head when we were running around outside.
I hope you've got some time to exercise, Prowler.

Two syllables or one? How about "Nipples" for a female? Or, "Region" for a male.
-
I vote for Skreets.
Also - contact your homeowners insurance company. RRs may be on the list of "dogs that can get your homeowners policy canceled if God forbid he bites someone and gets you sued".
Not trying to be a downer. It's just the nature of my job to look for risk. He is a precious puppy and I know you will love him muchly.

Not every investment is a good investment... :)
How about a nice 12 year old poodle? :clap:

You should definitely check into the homo insurance. The premium will probably sky rocket in the next few weeks because of policy changes.

Is is legal to issue policies based on ones sexuality preference?
My vote is for "Shithead".

No thanks. I want a dog that when he eats me and my family, he never looked like he could eat me and my family. Those things look like they eat anything they want.
Name it Kaos. Or Havoc.

Dammit, as in "Dammit...get in here now!"
I gotta say though, Skreets would be awesome.
