When I'm an old man with $$$ to spare, I'm getting an English Bulldog and that's the name I'm giving him.

And I'm going to teach him how to smoke a cigar and bark at Germans.

there's a very popular commercial character here; an animated dog named Churchill...here.

So if you were to name your dog "Churchill", you would be an Anglophile from two very distinctive eras...

Ohhh I thought of a good name for a dog... Pavlov.

Logan's mom's schnoodle is named Winston, but he is no more diplomatic as a result, I'm afraid.

I used to really want an English bulldog until someone told me that they are so overbred that you usually have to give the mothers c-sections because their hips are too narrow to give birth naturally. That's why bulldog puppies can easily set you back a few thousand dollars. Something about a bulldog getting a c-section creeps me out.

Boston terriers sometimes have to deliver this way too, or else the mama dog could be in danger.

It's not the narrow hips, but the puppies' giant heads that cause it I think.

Aaw, he's soooo cuuuute!

Rufus!
...or better yet, Roofus.

Or Buford.

He looks Dukes of Hazzard-eque to me.

He does look like a hound dog, kinda. Rufus would be fun to yell when you were calling him.

His father's name was Jazz, and basically all his family's names start with J, so we named him Coltrane as in John.

Royal: Are you trying to steal my woman?
Henry Sherman: I beg your pardon.
Royal: You heard me, Coltrane.
Henry Sherman: "Coltrane"?
Royal: What?
Henry Sherman: Did you just call me Coltrane?
Royal: No.
Henry Sherman: You didn't?
Royal: No.
Henry Sherman: Okay...
