French Bulldog Puppy News! And Naming Help Needed
Sailor surprised me a day early, and presented us with two bouncing baby brindle Frenchie puppies this morning – a silvery brindle boy, and a seal brindle girl. The girl weighed in at 9.6 ounces – almost entire ounce larger than her brother, who weighed in at 8.7 ounces. The girl is a vocal little thing, screaming whenever she doesn’t immediately find a nipple, and a restless, rooting nurser. Her brother is much more placid. Other than a few squeaks when we were getting him started after surgery, he’s been a quiet, contented nurser.
Sailor lost quite a bit of blood, so it was a bit scary for a while there. Scarier still is using a new Veterinarian for a section, especially one that involves a three hour round trip and a border crossing. You’re basically going in blind and crossing your fingers that they’ll know what they’re doing, and that your drive will be quick, easy and uneventful. We were lucky, and everything turned out well.
Below the cut, you’ll find some pictures of the new little rug rats. The firewire cord for the cam isn’t long enough, so until my repeater arrives you’ll have to make do with still photos.
In related news, I need some naming suggestions. Since this is Rebel’s first litter for us since his death, I’d really like to use names that include his. So, we’re looking for registered names that include the word ‘Rebel’. So far, all I can come up with is “Rebel Yell”, which I’m sure has been used to death and back. If anyone out there has a more creative and imaginative bent than I do, leave me your suggestion in the comments section. Don’t forget, brevity is of the essence, since using our prefix of ‘Absolut Bullmarket’ uses up a lot of the allowable letters we can use for their names.
Don’t forget – puppy pix below the cut!!

Congratulations on your new babies !
how about Rebel Rouser (a play on Rabble Rouser)
congrats on the babies – as a fellow Rebel, may i make a couple of suggestions:
For the girl: Rebeliscious
for the boy: Rebelde (spanish for Rebel)
I like all of those 🙂
It was a lot easier to think of names for our ‘Roch’ litter, trust me!
Congratulations! What an adorable pair. I hope Sailor is recuperating quickly. Many, many pictures, please!
Congratulations on your new additions.
I like Orpheus and Euridice, but those names don’t satisfy any of your conditions. How about Jonny-Reb and Jan-Reb. I’ve always wanted a dog named after me.
How about James Dean or Jimmy Dean for the boy ‘Rebel without a Cause’
Rebelita for the girl
Congrats! And big ‘ens, too.
Like the suggestions above, but here’s even more to confuse you. What about just Rebellion for the boy? Or name them after famous rebellion leaders or rebellions. Names like Gandi, “Che”, Spartacus, The French Rebellion, etc.
Or call one Rebel Riot and the other Rebel Uprising.
They are darling!
Wow great puppies i love them! Here are some names I was thinking of:
blue rebel*
fabulous rebel
bad news rebel
**michigan rebel
*(all different colors)
**(all the states)
Congrats on pups! Names I thought of
Rebel Soldier -call name “Soldier”
My favorite:
REBEL REPEAT- call name “Pete”
Renegade- call name “Reny”
Rebel Trooper -call name “Trooper” or Rebel Troop- call name “Troop”
Girl Name: Rebeller -call name “Belle”
Rebel’s Pebble call name -“Pebble”
Rebel’s Dixie “Dixie”
How about Rebel Heart.
You could call her Heart or Love
