Meet Puppy X! Please Help Name Our New Havanese Puppy!


Well, I did it. After years of debating about getting a second dog, this sweet puppy came to live with us this week! He's 10 weeks old and already a bundle of fun! Cosmo and pup are getting along famously, but the most important thing now is, he needs a name! 

Check out all the photos and please leave any suggestions in the comments below! Just remember, he needs a name that can be shouted across an agility ring! He'll also start out in conformation and who knows what else he'll do! But for now, he needs a good call name.... like Cosmo!


Puppy X is brindle and white, with four white paws and the cutest white-tipped tail! He's reddish-golden underneath the brown and black tips you see. So he'll likely look completely different once his fur starts growing.


He doesn't stand still for long...


And he likes to fetch things, like this leave that's as big as his head!


Awww, sweet boy!


He may be short, but he's already scrambled up these steps!


And he loves to tug and jump and zoom around the backyard!


Cosmo and Mini Me. Please help me name this cutie!

Thanks to Carol Croop at Premiere Havanese for this sweet boy! You'll see more of him once we know what to call him!!

What's in a Dog Name? -- The Ultimate Star Guide!

We love this latest infographic from Matt Beswick for Pet365. Has your dog lived up to his name?

I think Cosmo was destined to be a Cosmopolitan dog from the start... worldy and well-traveled. How about your pup? Was his or her name predestined?
