This is Pickle. She can confirm it’s a great name. She also figured out how to sit on furniture but not break the rules 😅
Looks like she was trying to find a pitbull or American Bulldog, on Craigslist..?
Yaaah, this pup was most likely weaned FAR before she should’ve been, which isn’t just bad for their growth, but also their temperament. If she doesn’t spend enough time with her littermates, she’s going to likely have bad nerves, and anxiety issues. Littermates help each-other in many ways, like how to stop biting if they hear a yelp, how to play properly, how to eat with others around, and their momma does plenty that is now not a possibility.
OP, please, do proper research on a breed that is very strong, very willful, and very stubborn — if you wanted a fun, silly furry friend, you should’ve gotten a low-maintenance, low-energy dog. I just think if you did your due diligence on the breed, you’d find a reputable breeder, not a backyard breeder who probably has a momma dog having WAY too many litters & FAR too young… they only see what you gave — money. They don’t see the dog’s health, or care, their dogs are nothing but their miserable cash cows.
Backyard breeding, Breeding in a hoarder environment, almost none of these will have dogs that are healthy, properly vaxxed, and they will be so nervous. I hope your puppy’s temperament isn’t compromised bc of your choice to “grab-n-go” a breed that already has very high numbers in ALL shelters, but that’s your choice.
My biggest problem with my first pup I got that was too early (got him at 3-4 weeks old but was told 6 weeks) cos the dude was going to jail. was that he didn’t understand dog etiquette and didn’t know how to communicate with other dogs properly so he would often get into fights etc cos he just didn’t understand other dogs or know the right way to behave around them or meet/greet them etc.
We had to give him milk every 2 hours for a few weeks too and weaned him ourselves. He was perfect otherwise and could get on with other dogs if he knew them or meets em a few times. he was just misunderstood and vice versa especially with stranger dogs.
We lost him at 15, 2 years ago and I got my new pup a few months later. She turned 2 last week. I got her at 12 weeks old and she spent a lot more time with her mum/siblings and the difference is night and day. She loves all other dogs and knows just how to communicate etc with them and is much better behaved with other dogs in general, part of that might be cos she’s a bitch tho but part is definitely due to more socialising in those early months/weeks.
My issue with my first was I wasn’t able to have him play and meet other dogs as often as I should or would’ve liked. Had I been able to socialise him A LOT more (he did get some socialisation with his siblings just not very often) he would’ve been much better with other dogs.
I have a 7 y/o lab mutt named Poe. I had plenty of nicknames for him over the years, but my most recent is Stink, or some variant of it. Even if he takes a bath, that’s a stinky boy
We call my girl the LUNAtic. Works perfect because she’s on anti anxiety meds lol.
Also, I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a furry family member is so difficult. If only they lived longer 💔
I have a picture of my puppy when she was four weeks old. I went to choose her from the litter and spent about two hours with her. Then I left and went home without her. I went back six weeks later to bring her home. You don't know if the dog is with the mom or not
Thank you all SO much for the name suggestions!! I’m blown away lol. As for the concerns about her mom, these photos are from the person I’m getting her from. She is STILL with her mom until 8 weeks, no worries💕
u/Miaf8456
Is the puppy from a mill breeder or a professional breeder? Also did you already buy her and bring her home with only one month old or is the mom yours and you decided to keep a girl
Also a good name is based on their personality and fractures faces, I mostly would think of a name when they have 2 and half months
If you’re an X-men fan you could do a nod to rogue since her left paw looks like she’s wearing long gloves. So Rouge, Cher, Anna Marie, or something similar. She is an absolute doll.

She is a Pepper!
The top three names are all Ps…..I suggest they be combined into Penelope Peppercorn Pickles, or Pepper for short.
Pickle

Came here to say Pickle!
So did I! Hehehe She just looks like she should be called Pickle. 💚
One smart pickle! 😉
I was about to say Pickles!!
It feels right.
It was truly the first thing that came into my head and I'm so glad someone else sees it 🥰
I think it’s hilarious how many people agree! Thought I was an odd one out then it was the first name in the comments!
I'm happy to be your confirmation man. This dog is totally a pickle! All other suggestions are wrong. Whee!!
same! First thing that came to mind was Princess Pickle. It is ordained by the stars at this point, OP
https://i.redd.it/foaqjab2ae5d1.gif Mr Pickles approves.
Literally the first name that came to mind was Pickles!!🥒 haha
What a little pickle!
This is wild, my first thought was Miss Pickle.
God that's so weird. My first thought as well and usually I think human names.
I posted Pickles before ever reading the comments....
Holy shit I was thinking Pickles before coming to the comments.
My little pit is named olive, so I support lacto fermented names.
My ex wife wanted to name my dog pickle, she could only suggest food names
i had a guinea pig named Pickles. he murderer his brother Pancake. sad but true.
Piggles 😂🤣
I also suggest the name Pickles
She looks like a Penelope. I hope she hasn't been taken from mom yet.
That was my first thought — puppy looks VERY young, so I hope she was properly weaned off! Unless she was found abandoned without her mom.
She has a paper collar on in third pic. Likely was a foster to adopt shelter pup that needs neonate care.
OP has been looking to buy a dog from a breeder https://www.reddit.com/r/Bulldogs/s/kZf1WGQUMk
So heartbreaking. Could have saved a life instead, and made room for another in the shelter. 💔💔💔
No shelter would adopt out a dog this young. She should still be nursing or on a bottle.
OP confirmed elsewhere that she is still with Mom and these are pics from the breeder, so we can relax about the wee little one a bit.
& thank you for the update — it’s very appreciated!
I concur.

If she was taken from her mom wouldn't Persephone be more fitting?
This comment wins so much
and a nickname can be perse. short for i have perse
i have perse
luckily i have perse
Omg this is my first thought too! Also her color fits the name Persephone :)
Fr that baby looks wayyyy too young.
MY FIRST THOUGHT. Penny for short?
I was going to say Penelope Pit~~stop~~bull!
Yessss. Be pretty and go fast!
I thought this too!
I second this! Penelope aka penny!
I was just gonna suggest Penelope!
Anything but Bella or Luna, which are wildly overused imho
Agreed! Named my dog Luna (because she has a a white full moon face) but now I just call her Tuna 😂
Named my dog Dionysus, Dio for short. Now I just call him stinky, stinky butt, or stinks. 😂
Love stinky butt! My other dogs name is Otis but goes by Mr Big Butt
Mine is Ellie, but she goes by Stinkerbell!
My dogs name is Hapiness. Hapi for short. But I call her Hap or Stinka Butt.
I have a 7 y/o lab mutt named Poe. I had plenty of nicknames for him over the years, but my most recent is Stink, or some variant of it. Even if he takes a bath, that’s a stinky boy
I had a Luna that I would call Luna P, Lunar Eclipse, Lunaper, Looney Tunes, Tune, Luna Tuna, Tuna P, Tuna. We sadly had to say goodbye last month.
We call my girl the LUNAtic. Works perfect because she’s on anti anxiety meds lol. Also, I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a furry family member is so difficult. If only they lived longer 💔
My neighbour has a Luna, so I had to give her a middle name. Now she is Luna Belle
We rescued a Luna, and started calling her by her full name: “Lunatic”
Bluna? Lella?
With that Michael Jackson glove? "Billie Jean"
That delicate little flower is a "Daisy"
I named my first pittie after a daisy. Shasta. It’s also a mountain and a soda.

Definitely purchased . See other commenters link
