Baxter the (Other) Beaglier?

Chris from South Africa, by way of Melbourne, Australia, commented on an earlier post about a beautiful Beaglier, who just happens to be named Baxter. Both Baxters are, of course, named after the Spanish-speaking, cheese-eating Border Terrier sidekick from “Anchorman.” After following up with Chris about the comment, I was sent a few photos to post to the site. I have to agree with Chris; it is pretty cool that half a world away there’s another dog of the same type with the same name for the same reason. Hope you guys enjoy these pictures of Baxter the (other) Beaglier.

Why the Name Baxter?

Trista and I both love the adorable little gentleman who eats an entire wheel of cheese, speaks Spanish, travels the world, and looks like a miniature Buddha covered in hair from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. We thought it was best to pay homage to our favorite pooch by naming our first dog Baxter as well.

Even though our Beaglier bears no resemblance to the on-screen Border Terrier, nearly everyone we introduce him to understands the origins of his name.
