List of nicknames for the German shepherd girl
The German Shepherd is one of the most popular large dog breeds in the world. She can be found in apartments, private houses, in summer cottages, in military service. But the more popular the breed, the more difficult it is to choose a beautiful, and most importantly, a unique nickname for a pet. We will tell you what names can be given to German Shepherd bitches below.
Features of choice
The German Shepherd Dog belongs to the category of elite dogs. This means that often a puppy can only be bought from a nursery or from a professional breeder.
Most often, purebred individuals are sold only with documents. And here it is important to know that a pet with a pedigree is given a name by the breeder on its 45th day of life after examination.
At the same time, all puppies in the litter have nicknames starting with one letter.
Often such nicknames are very long and difficult to pronounce, but they meet all the requirements of the nursery. Therefore, if such a puppy is acquired, then the newly-made owner can and should even give him a new, short and memorable nickname. The full name can only be used in documents and during exhibitions or competitive reviews.
If a puppy is purchased without a name, then when choosing a nickname for him, it is important to take into account the following nuances.
- Specific features of this breed and its color. Sheepdogs are smart, easy to train, large animals. Too affectionate names will not suit them, a "German" with such a nickname will look extremely ridiculous. Shepherd dogs have a zonal color, which means that it is quite acceptable to call them according to the predominant color of the coat.
- The name chosen should not be in tune with the main training commands. The dog will get confused and as a result may stop following the owner's commands altogether.
- The name of the dog should be so that its gender is immediately clear.... And for this it is necessary to choose dog names, and not human ones.
- The nickname must be clear and short, the dog must distinguish all sounds at a distance of up to 30 meters. It is better to refuse the use of hissing sounds in a nickname - "German women" do not perceive them well.
When choosing a nickname for a puppy, it is important to understand that it is a basic command, that is, in fact, it activates the entire training process. In the future, the animal must develop a reflex that its name is to attract the maximum attention of the animal and bring it to the maximum concentration. Therefore, it is worthwhile to approach the choice of a nickname consciously and having given enough attention to this moment.
It is also important to understand that German Shepherds are proud and self-worthy dogs, given their size, it is worth giving up funny, degrading nicknames.
Also, breeders do not advise to call girls "German" designations of any objects or obscene words. Perhaps this will not have a strong influence on the character of the animal itself, but it will make its owner not look in the best light.
