List of nicknames for pugs

Each breed of dog has its own unique characteristics, and its representatives - character traits. Therefore, they try to name the representative of each species somehow unique in order to distinguish it from the background of other individuals. Pugs are no exception to the rule. These dogs are smart, cute and very intelligent representatives of the canine world, therefore, their nicknames must be appropriate. How to choose the right name and what options exist for males or girls will be discussed in this article.

The owners of these pets often wonder what they can call a pug in order to emphasize its uniqueness, charisma and unusual character.

In order for the nickname to really suit the animal, and it feels comfortable, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances of choosing nicknames for pets.

• These animals are of aristocratic and noble origin. Therefore, it is still not worth calling them some kind of funny or playful nicknames. Firstly, such dogs will look awkward in the future, and secondly, the nickname still leaves an imprint on the animal itself, its character and behavior.
• The recommended length of a nickname is 2-3 syllables, it should consist of a maximum of 5-6 letters. If the pug has a noble birth and pedigree, then usually he also has a long name given to him in the kennel. In such cases, an abbreviated version of the name is selected for the daily communication of the animal, so the dog can more easily remember it.
• Animal psychologists and professional breeders insist that nicknames containing growling sounds are best avoided. Over time, even the calmest pug with such a nickname can begin to show unmotivated aggression.
• Pugs are of Chinese origin, so their breeders often choose oriental names for them. But before making the final choice, it is important to find out the true meaning of the nickname.
• For small dogs of this breed, it is necessary to choose nicknames with such vowels as "a", "y" and "o". Pets respond well to nicknames containing hissing sounds.
• Nicknames that sound similar to the basic training commands should be avoided. The pug may start to confuse sounds and simply stop following commands.

In general, when choosing a nickname for such a dog, one should focus on its character, color, temperament. And it is imperative to take into account the noble origin of the animal. Only taking into account all these factors can you choose a really suitable nickname for your puppy.
