How to name a dog to get a nickname

Is it worth reminding that the name is given for life? Therefore, the choice of a nickname for an animal must be taken with responsibility. Many believe that the dog can be named after the first association that arose. This is not quite true. It happens that puppies of large breeds of dogs do not cause any other associations, except with a touching and fluffy glomerulus, but the name Pushok will not go to your puppy at all after 3-4 months when he grows up. The chosen nickname should be liked by all members of your family: let all the members of the household take part in the meeting on how to name the dog .

If you have purchased a pedigreed puppy from a breeder, then most likely he already has a name. Do not neglect it. If you are going to subsequently put the dog on the contests, it will come in handy. Another thing is that such names are often too long, and it is difficult for a dog to remember them. Think of some cuts, for example, from Prima Renata-Adele, Black Angel Sheridan or Stern Wind, listed in the pedigree, leave Renata, Black, Sheridan or Stern. Choosing how to name a dog, you need to be guided by the brevity of the name - one or two syllables, not more. Later, when the puppy gets used to it, it will be possible to accustom it to respond also to names with caressing suffixes: Bertochka, Tigryulya, etc.

The dog's name must be sonorous, as if convex. Avoid shammy sounds or words with paired vowels, such as the Grail, Tuairin. In the canine world communicate with the help of a roar, therefore, thinking about how you can call a dog, choose names where there is at least one letter "p". There are a lot of such.

Now more and more people call their pets human names, which is not bad, because it shows the growing humanity of attitude towards animals. However, think about not insulting your neighbors. After all, not all people want to have namesakes of dogs. To prevent such an incident, you can call the dog a foreign human name, and this reduces the risk of coincidence. Karina, Charlie, Gerda, Greta, Herman, Ronald, Edward are very sonorous names, short and containing the letter "p".

How correctly to name a dog, if we want to give her not a human name, but still a nickname? Here it is necessary to proceed from the breed. It is better to give small breeds the cute nicknames - Fox, Zhorik, Cubic-Rubik, and bigger ones - more fighters: Killer, Pirate. There are breeds bred in Russia, for representatives of which have already established the appropriate nicknames. So, the Russian greyhounds are often called the Wind, representatives of guard breeds - Thunder.

When choosing how to name a dog, one can not neglect her personal qualities. Based on the suit, you can call her Gray, Red or Black, from the floor - Boy or Gurl. It happens that the very fate of the puppy is looking for his name - Naida, Naiden, Pribluda. You can call the dog according to the terrain where the breed was bred: the Caucasus, Kazbek, Volga, or one of the common names in this district - Mukhtar, Ruslan, Herman.

Hunting dogs can be given nicknames, originating from the names of animals - Eagle, Condor, Leopard. Now, choosing how to name a dog, it became fashionable to use the names of celebrities. So there were such nicknames as Penelope Cruz, Chubais, Kadyrov, Pele and others. But, calling the dog such a "star" name, you need to understand that the fashion is passing, and the nickname remains. She must walk the dog, conform to her character. Do not call a small, shy dog Caesar or Spartacus, and a belligerent pit bull - Gandhi. Do not also call your pet the name of your previously dead dog: let it remain in your memory as the only one (unless, of course, you do not believe in the transmigration of souls). Also, you should not call the animal a name similar to the name of one of the household members (Lira and Ira, Masya and Asya): the dog will later be confused, to whom they are addressed.
