I told them right away I wanted hime - a 2 year old registered golden, that is great around everyone from infants to adults. He just needed a little training, and in about a week, he is the one of the best behaved dogs I have been around.

He came with a name - but I had it in my head that I was going to name my next dog Bill Dance or Hank Parker - So I can say "I'm going fishing with Bill Dance today" I also like Loomis, Bandit, and Saint (croix). You could also go with Ike, but he will be destined to have behavior problems.
Kevin,
Sorry to hear about your dog man. I know it tore me up when ole' Big Ben passed. It's a tough deal to go through.
You can't beat Labs and Goldens for all around good natured pets. Maxx is a Black Lab just like Ben was. I love that Breed.

I agree Ike might be unfair to name your dog because all he will do is bark loudly, breakdance and keep his head in his nether regions.

Hank or Parker would be good names for a dog. But OOhhh SON don't forget about Roland Martin!! All the fish will be 8lbs or better.
