Australian Koolie Dog Names

Introduction

Like people, your dog is defined by their name. Your dog deserves a name that they can grow with. One that takes their character and appearance into account, and suits the breed. While a large Husky type of dog suits the name Wolf, a small Chihuahua probably wouldn't, apart from it being an ironic choice. A timid dog wouldn't suit the name of Rambo, whereas a solid Boxer would. Be mindful that your dog (and you) have to live with this name for the rest of your dog's life, so be respectful and give them an attractive name. It can be hard to come up with a name as it is permanent (or will be hopefully, or you will confuse your dog). It's a big decision! This is where our list of dog names will help you through this task. Have a read of our list of names; you are sure to find a winner for your new Australian Koolie.

Red Dog

The story of Red Dog is a true classic Australian story about a dog's search for his master and the adventures that he encountered along the way. While Red Dog was a Kelpie /Cattle dog crossbreed, this amazing dog represents the spirit of all the herding types of dogs that brave and endure the harsh landscape and the Australian Koolie Dog is one of them. The story starts when a stranger named Thomas drives his truck into Damper one night, and he gets involved with a group of townspeople who are trying to get the courage to put Red Dog down. He is sick, old and tired, but this dog is held in high regard and they can't bring themselves to do it.

Thomas asks about the dog, and the story unfolds of a dog who searched the vast outback looking for his owner who had sadly had passed away without the dog knowing. This brave and loyal dog encountered hardships along the way, but all who met him were either helped or provided meaning in their lives. While many wanted to keep him, the dog always moved on. From Perth to Darwin, through vast miles of inhospitable land and helped by passing strangers, Red Dog finally returned to Damper, and goes to Nancy, his owner's (John Grant ) girlfriend. While the townspeople are relating all this to Thomas, Red Dog quietly gets up and goes outside. When the townspeople realize and search for him, they find him lying dead at the gravesite of his beloved owner. While a sad story, Red Dog embodies the spirit of the Australian Outback and the tough dogs that live in its grip. The town of Damper made a statue of Red Dog as a sign of respect the locals have for the spirit and loyalty of one amazing dog.

Montego Koolies of South Australia are raising and developing the amazing Koolie, indeed one of the dogs of the Australian Outback. Honey, the matriarch dog of the kennel has since passed on but has left her work ethic and wonderful legacy in her line of pups, including Chase, Milo, Ruby and many more beautiful Koolies. Extremely intelligent and loyal to the end as Red Dog was, the Koolie loves to be involved with the family and forge an unbreakable bond between owner and dog.

Australian Koolie Dog Name Considerations

Your dog's name should be easy to say, it should roll off your tongue without getting tangled up in it. Naturally, it should be something you like, and something that you wouldn't be embarrassed calling out while you are at the park. Keep in mind that the name you select for your dog is the key point when communicating with them. Your dog will get to know their name very quickly, so when you want to get their attention, all you have to do is call out their name. If their name is too long or complicated, your dog may have disappeared before you get the name out. You can call your dog by a human name such as Molly or Brad, just make sure that there isn't a Molly or Brad in the family or your group of friends as it could get confusing! Names that are two syllables are easy to say such as Bella, Lucky or Sheba. The Australian Koolie is a working or herding dog, so a name like Hunter, Zorro, or Lightning may work for them. Perhaps Ace, Blue (for a blue dog of course, and a popular Australian dog name) or Blitz would be a suitable choice, too. Think carefully before giving your special new dog their special name and enjoy the process!
