We have a 10 week old Soft Coated Wheaten pup and we named him Baxter. It fits him and he likes his name. My husband is from northern Maine and it makes him think of home. The highest peak in the Katadin range is Baxter located in Baxter State Park.

I had a male puppy he was a year I named him Baxter at 8 weeks old. He was loveable, affectionate, and loyal. He was pit/ Golden Lab he was the sweetest pup. And I no longer have him cause my neighbor and his son and son inlaw used him for target practice and the poor baby suffered for approx 8 hours. But he did fit true to the name.
