I pronounce it "Yuhr-ick".

Not really much of a story behind it, except I saw the movie The Golden Compass, liked the name Iorek (and I

love polar bears, so that might have influenced my liking of the name

), researched the meaning, and thought it would be a perfect fit for a working line GSD puppy.

Meaning - I found this definition of the name Iorek on Srafopedia (The His Dark Materials Encyclopedia - similar to Wikipedia) "Iorek Byrnison, being a bear, cannot have his personality compared to that of humans. He is a hurricane, with a calm eye and a ferocious surrounding. He is charismatic as far as bears go. He is clearly capable of love, since it seems obvious that he loved Lyra, and is completely dedicated to his word, honest to his soul. He is a powerful fighter, and, not being human, cannot be tricked, as is evidenced by Lyra's failure to fence with him. Though he does not earn the trust of many humans, he most certainly has of Will, Lyra, and Serafina Pekkala, as well as the late Lee Scoresby."

His registered name, Tamaska, means mighty and kind, or "mighty wolf" and I love wolves.

So both names seem to have the 'mighty, yet kind' meaning, and I thought that would be a perfect fit for this puppy.

Thanks everyone!

I love

his coloring, but his temperament is awesome too!! He has a TON of confidence in new situations, he is sweet as can be, but also has a hint of mischief behind that sweet face of his, haha! And that is slowly but surely coming out more and more each day.

He has his mouth on everything (he'll do great in Schutzhund, I'm sure

) and just seems to be an all-around outstanding puppy!
