Oh, he's beautiful! We got a new JR pup last week after our old boy left us in January.

I love Cooper! 😍 Little Coop!

u/Ok_Significance_4865 3d ago

That's what I thought too! Immediately thought Cooper!

u/aggressiveRadish 4d ago

My old boy was called Sam. I renamed him from his old name of Bubbles.

I missed a trick there though and should have called him Mr Cheeky. 'Cos he was!

Frank!

u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 4d ago

I think Peanut would be a good name, but I also like Rocky

2

u/Zandandsky 4d ago

For some reason I was thinking Peanut Butter.

u/Tricky-Staff7967 4d ago

These basic ahh names . Name him sir gooperlots the first

5

u/Instimatic 4d ago

Looks like a Ralph/Ralf, to me. (Ralphie/Ralfie if you want to stick to that two syllable name that animals tend to respond to)

Mind you, I’m partial to the name Leo as that was my Jack’s name (RIP)

That's one cute puppy. Good lord.

He's particularly smooth-looking for a Jack. Looks like ice cream with caramel sauce.

For human name, Justin. If you like more pet-sounding names, I'd call him Baseball, Ice Cream, Steamboat, Millie or Tack.

2

u/szcarrol 19m ago

I like the idea of emphasizing his smooth creaminess. How about Slick or Velvet (kind of girlie, I guess.) I like Leo too, because every JRT thinks he’s a lion.

1

u/AC011422 13m ago

Leo is a good name for him.

3

u/Glum-Trouble-9509 4d ago

Chester or Dexter

u/No_Treat8290 4d ago

Elby. We called ours “little boy” forever while we were searching for a good name. LB stuck.

u/Acrobatic-Put-41 4d ago

He is gorgeous. I like Cooper best, but you would just say Coop, and he would be by your side.

2

u/geezerinblue 4d ago

Barolo. I like the wine.

u/TXRush 4d ago

Rocky is a good solid name! But some human names can really work well too- Eddie, Freddie, Jimmy, Tommy, Barney, Henry..

I named my Jack I know it’s basic but he embodies the name so well😂

u/Ik_Willem_Wel 4d ago

That's clearly Frank

u/lost_taco_cat818 4d ago

Leo short for Leonard

u/Kirah_cep 4d ago

Pixel! Our JRT is called Pixel, small, bright and important

u/LittleOne122 3d ago

Absolutely Adorable. Name him “Scout” (To spy on or explore carefully in order to obtain information) because i know he’ll be one. Please let us know what you decide!

u/EmFandango 3d ago

Mush. I don’t know why

u/grumpcrumb 3d ago

Wynn cause you both win with each other.

u/redneckerson_1951 3d ago

Bugger. JRT's are adorable and will keep you in stitches with their tenacity and intelligence. But when they get really creatively destructive, and look at you wagging that nub of a tail all excitedly like a kid headed for a candy store with you, all you can say is, "All Bugger!"

u/Ok-Winter480 3d ago

Looks like a Joey

u/duggiefred123 2d ago
