Well, Flushy is pretty different. My favorite "different" name on this forum is Toughynutter. The strangest name I've heard comes from the AHBA forum and that is Wench.

Last year we had a thread going that asked, "How did you choose your basset's name?" It went on for some time, lots of good stories and lots of good and sometimes strange names.

How did Flushy get his/her name?

I think gsally is right. Flushy and toughynutter are some pretty unique names. We just adopted a dog named Breezy. Not sure why her previous owners named her that since she doesn't have any obvious gas problems that I can tell.

I have yet to hear anyone name their basset this but I think Hoover would be a great basset name (or Eureka if its a girl). Perhaps one day when I can have more than 3 bassets I can have a Hoover and a Eureka.

I once knew a Basset named Earwig, but I think hands-down the strangest name was a Pug named Toadspit.

There was a dog in my husband's neighborhood growing up and his name was 'Sex'. No joke.

Hardly anu weird names near me.... but there is a Basset who comes and stays in my town in his family's holiday cottage every now and again and his name is Hoover, because he has always sucked up everything in sight from being a puppy... and he's now an elderly gentleman!
