[quote=OBI1]I'll start by telling you the reason why I named my boy Idi Amin. He is black and big and is a dictator around the yard(always trying to have his way with even the older dogs and barks at all of them when he doesn't) He also doesn't like strangers and throws a barking fit when one comes his way. Over here we do not honor dictators and murderers, we hate them with a passion, they've killed alot of our brothers and sisters. Its a practice to name our pets after them here as an act of disrespect. You do not find people naming their sons or daughters after such villains nor do we honor them by naming streets or other stuff after them. Naming pets or animals after them is our way of disrespecting them. I shout my dogs name anytime I take them out and I assure you no one gets offended. I'll be posting new pics of him very soon.[/quote] OB: Of course you didn't have to justify your dog's name, but having done so I think it is quite the justification! I think Idi looks great and the name seems to suit him quite well. Well done! ALV
