Denise will likely be taking the male and is thinking that the registered name will be Cedarcreeks Firecracker, but we are at a loss for a good call name. Everyone and their brother names red dogs fire/hot names like spark, torch, flash, rocket.
Anyone think of anything cute, showy, and not "HersheyCocoMochaBear"-ish? (Running joke at work that all chocolate labs are named Hershey, Coco, Mocha, or Bear.)
Chili (pepper)
Rusty (probably waaay overused)
Clay (as in red clay)
Tod (a male fox)
Diablo (depending on his temperment!)
Kobuk (river in northern Alaska, to go with the sire's name)
Dawson (city in the Yukon)
Klondike (too long?)

Matey (as in M-80), (Rocket's Red) Glare, (Francis) Scottkey, Indie(pendence Day), and of course, the author himself - and another redhead - Jefferson.
Then again, with the red things I've been dealing with lately, "Thrombus".

Likely name will be Cedarcreeks Celebration, but will have to think on call names.
"Kool" (and the gang) ??? (There's your obligatory 80s reference, Galen. )
The man solely responsible for introducing me to bird dogs - David Duffey, a writer for "Sports Afield" and "Gun Dog" magazines and the father of a woman I was dating at the time - had the male pick of the litter from a group of English Pointers whelped on July 4, 1976.
Now, Pointers are the Cadillacs of bird dogs - no nonsense, hard driving, muscular, and absolutely bird crazy. They're not "candyass Labs", as he would've referred to my particular bird dog.
So what did Mr. Duffey - a "man's man" if there ever was - name his "bird dog's bird dog"?
"Bi"
As in "Bicentennial".
Again.....congrats. They're beautiful!
Dale (and it's as in "Bodhisattva", not "Bocentennial")
