Some breeders who buy a puppy for their soul do not need to choose a rare, special and unusual name. They prefer the simplest nicknames that do not have a specific meaning, for example, Jack, Thunder or Lord.

It should not be forgotten that the owner of a small puppy can call his pet the simplest name related to a person's hobby. For example, if the owner of the dog is fond of the marine theme and shipbuilding, the pet's nickname will sound like Jung, Sailor or Captain... Film lovers will undoubtedly call their dogs names that are consonant with the nicknames of famous dogs. For example, Mukhtar or Rex. On the one hand, it may seem that the meaning of the pet owner's cinematic fanaticism is hidden behind the meaning of these nicknames, but in fact these are the simplest and most widespread names for dogs.

For modern breeders, the name of a dog does not always have to correspond to severity and have a serious meaning. For this reason, they choose simple comic names for their dogs that are directly related to the image of the animal and its character. Thanks to the humorous approach in the house where the dog with a cool nickname lives, a certain positive arises, a good mood is constantly present. Indeed, in most cases, a dog's incredible nickname is based on its unusual behavior.

It is very important for the owner of the animal not to overdo it with a funny nickname, since the chosen name still endows the dog with special character and behavior traits. For example, you should not call a shepherd Diamond or Fuzzy. Otherwise, males will grow soft and delicate. Accordingly, they will not be able to become good guards and have a strong character.

As a joke, you can call miniature dogs by names that verbally increase their size, for example, a toy terrier will be Hulk, and a cute chihuahua will respond to the nickname Elephant or Zeus.

In addition, dogs with certain character traits can be called cool names. So, for example, if a dog likes to bark and make noise around itself, it can be called Bell, Bell or Woof... If your tailed friend enjoys a variety of treats, it is preferable to christen the pet with a food nickname. For example, Cake or Donut.

Many owners are familiar with the problem when a puppy returns from a walk in a pretty dirty form, since it cannot walk past a puddle, a heap of folded leaves or earth. Names are good for these dogs. Peppa (pig from the cartoon) or the well-known pig Naf-Naf (Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf).

In pedigree dogs acquired for the soul, there may be defects in external data, which can be accentuated when choosing a playful nickname. If a dog has a limp, it can be called Chrome. If the dog has a problem with the ears, the animal is proposed to be christened with a nickname By ear... For dental problems, the most suitable nickname will be Dracula.

Going for a walk to the park, each person meets on his way a huge number of dogs with special nicknames. Sometimes you can hear incredibly cool names that are very rarely used in everyday life. Thus, the owners try to distinguish their pet from the crowd, to present a friend in the most unique way. For this reason, they are sophisticated and select original nicknames, in the roots of which a special meaning is laid.

Often the meaning of a dog's nickname corresponds to the professional status of the pet owner. For example, astronomers name their puppies after unique constellations and any other celestial bodies. Professional car owners can christen their pet with the name of their favorite car brand, for example, Subaru or Dodge... Women, when choosing an interesting nickname for their pet, are guided by the names of celebrities and famous heroes.

And yet the most unusual, cool and very beautiful nicknames for males are the names of mythological heroes and creatures. In this case, we are talking about such nicknames as Bacchus, Ragnarok, Jaraxus, Yarilo or Perun. Although from the presented list Yarilo and Perun are the most common and known names to those around them.

It is extremely rare, but there are dog names that seem like strange gibberish, consisting of several sounds unrelated to each other. And only the pet owner understands what is the meaning of the animal's name. In fact, there is no big mystery here.

When choosing a nickname for a pet that will remain in the family until the end of its days, you must show great diligence. This is especially important if the breeder wants to endow his friend with a name with a foreign accent. According to the rules for finding a unique dog nickname, you must choose several acceptable names.The main thing is that the owner of the animal knows their literal translation and understands the meaning, thanks to which it will be possible to choose the most relevant nickname for the four-legged friend.

For additional help, you will need to refer to Chinese, Japanese, and even German vocabulary. So, for example, from the German language such names as Dasbest are proposed, which means the best in translation. Schnel - fast, the speed of the dog is accordingly emphasized. Troy translates as devotee, which is very suitable for large breed dogs. Glucky - happy, Flo - fluffy, Lauter - loud.

The French language is melodic in its pronunciation, respectively, the names are pronounced softer and more sophisticated. For example, Jean translates as kind and emphasizes the character of the dog. Yudong - a child, such a nickname is very often called those who like to play pranks and to be naughty. Gary - a warrior, a true protector of his family.

The Japanese dialect is not sophisticated or sophisticated. In pronunciation, it looks sharper and more clear. Accordingly, names for animals will not have tenderness and softness. For example, the nickname Buru in translation means bull, and in the pronunciation there is a certain rudeness. Reo is a lion, Haru is a spring one, Yoshiko is a child.

The most popular are the English and American versions of pet nicknames. And more recently, breeders have given dogs two-part names, in simple terms, consisting of two words and having a deeper meaning. For example, Sun Dance (sun dance), Pappy Love (puppy love), Angel Eyes (angel eyes). In America, it is customary to give animals for festive events. So, for example, on February 14, a guy can present his beloved with a puppy, calling him in advance by the name Fo Love (for love).

Along with double nicknames for dogs, special attention is paid to short animal names, more familiar to those around them. For example, Buddy is a friend. Lucky is happy, Smiley is a smile, Bob is famous, Bertie is bright. For some dog breeds, whose history began in the eastern lands, foreign names should be selected that reflect the culture of the country from which they originated.

The choice of a male nickname for a small puppy is an individual task of each owner or an individual family, where the help of strangers is not acceptable. In this matter, one should not go beyond reasonable limits.

The name is given to the baby at a puppy age, but it is important to remember that an adorable dog will not always be tiny and over time it will turn into an adult. It remains only to imagine how a cute and adorable puppy of the Alabai breed turns into a huge-sized dog. Accordingly, the name Fuzzy, given to an alabai at an early age for the quality of his coat, will be inappropriate. For this reason, the newly minted owner needs to represent their ward in adulthood. The same applies to the subsequent fate of the puppy, whether he will participate in exhibitions or live his life in a loving family the most ordinary life.

For tailed boys with miniature sizes, the process of finding a suitable nickname is much easier. They can be called comic, affectionate, gentle and even formidable names.

In most cases, the color of the dog's coat influences the choice of a suitable nickname. Sometimes the owner calls his pet based on the color of the animal's eyes, although the color scheme of the fur coat plays a big role.If the dog has several colors in the color, the prevailing shade is taken as the basis for the name.

To date, a huge number of color coat colors of dogs are known, ideally combined with each other. For example, black and white, brown and red, yellow and fire, gray and spotted.

In case the dog has an exclusively black coat color, it can be called traditional nicknames Blackie or Devil. But among the popular names there are options such as Zorro is the owner of a black suit, Raven is the owner of extremely dark shades of appearance.

In a similar way, they give names to puppies with a snow-white fur coat, where the most common nicknames for a boy are Casper and Almaz. Small dogs are best named Snowball... And representatives of large breeds with a snow-white color are preferable to call Edelweiss or Blizzard. Dogs with a spotted color are equated to animals with a marbled color. Accordingly, the names of the males should have a contrasting meaning. For example, dominoes, where black and white are combined. Other color options allow you to christen the dog with names such as Spot or Pestrik.

It is rather difficult for owners of a brown shade of wool to find an appropriate name. And yet, if you break your head a little, you will be able to reward the dog with the most unusual nickname. For example, Brownie... Even in the name itself, there is a sense of brown, and the image of a chocolate cake arises in the mind. An equally unique option will be Snickers or Shokko. Coffee lovers will definitely name a chocolate pet Mocha.

The most difficult task for the new owner is choosing a name for a red puppy. In this case, not every nickname will be able to suit the pet. For some puppies, a nickname will do. Fire. For others, in character and habits, a nickname is suitable Lava... Stately males will proudly bear the nickname Ruby.

Everyone knows that the name given to a living creature at birth largely influences its fate. This factor applies not only to humans, but also to animals. It is especially important to be careful in the selection of nicknames for dogs that can show their pedigree qualities in adulthood.

To begin with, you need to remember that the relationship between man and dog arose through shared activities. First of all, the sphere of hunting comes to mind. Since ancient times, dogs have been used as assistants in the capture of wild animals. They helped not only to drive the animal into a dead end, but also skillfully dug into holes in order to pull out a wild animal. Based on these characteristics, it was important for the owner to name his pet by a nickname associated with hunting work and having a deep meaning. For example, Orion.

Few people know, but this name of the constellation has a specific translation - a hunter. In general, there is a fair variety of nicknames for hounds. For example, Wind, Tornado, Lightning. Representatives of large breeds were mainly used to capture a large beast, respectively, their names should imply a formidable character. For example, Thunder, Tiger or Wolf. Burrowing dogs, for example, dachshunds, will respond to names with great pleasure. Nork or Laz.

In addition to the hunting sphere, a person was engaged in shepherd's work. Accordingly, he needed an assistant, but not a representative of the human race, but a creature capable of keeping track of a huge livestock population. This creature had to be distinguished by a keen sense of smell, in order to determine the presence of extraneous odors nearby in a matter of minutes.And we are talking not only about people, but also wild animals, from which the shepherd's assistant is obliged to protect the livestock. In addition, shepherd dogs had to be distinguished by special intelligence, be able to distinguish between wild and domestic animals.

It is very important that the tailed mates have a very sensitive ear. When a threat or danger arose, the dogs were filled with resounding barks, notifying the person of their readiness to start protecting livestock. Based on these criteria, representatives of herding breeds were given such nicknames as Watch or Hawk.

The question of the name for dogs belonging to service breeds is solved much more interestingly. The nickname should reflect the strength of the animal, character, athletic qualities, indifference to weather changes. Based on these criteria, you can name the pet Frost, Wind, Baikal, Caucasus, Taiga, North and even Buran. Diving dogs participating in special operations with the water rescue service are most often nicknamed Sailor, Boatswain or Navigator. Representatives of medium and large breeds, most often falling into the military and police services, namely, shepherd dogs or Labradors, should bear majestic names. Nicknames should be considered as suitable options. Kilord, Baron, Lord.

It is not necessary that a purebred dog should appear in the house. Very often, a person rescues a street animal from harsh weather conditions. Of course, you won't be able to take such pets to dog shows, but they can become true friends. In most cases, outdoor animals appear in the house because of human kindness and mercy. Accordingly, no one will rack their brains over the pet's nickname.

Representatives of noble dogs are called names that reflect the external data of the animal and the characteristics of its behavior. But much more often the mongrel's nickname corresponds to the color of its coat. Ideal nicknames can be Gypsy, Rudik, Chestnut... If there is a yellow mark above the eye of a noble boy, it would be appropriate to name the baby Brovik. Unusual gait of a pet can push the owner to a nickname Gallop or trot... Small mongrels in most cases have nicknames with a funny shade, for example, Tyapa, Raccoon, Sharik or Ottoman.

Special attention in choosing a nickname should be given to dogs with miniature sizes. These adorable creatures are quite cute and funny, but at the same time they have a touchy and vulnerable character. Names like Bow, Kid or Fantik.

The future fate of the puppy is greatly influenced by the nickname corresponding to the character and temperament of the baby. Given these criteria, choosing the right name will take time. The owner will need to observe the behavior of his pet, see how he reacts to certain stimuli, study his habits. It will take a little patience to avoid getting screwed up in the future.

If a pet shows stubbornness, shows its "I", strongly expresses its own opinion, is distrustful of strangers, if a feeling of danger arises, it is ready to rush to protect the family, it should be awarded with a formidable and serious nickname.

In the case when the puppy tries to show tenderness, to crawl into the arms of anyone, even a stranger, tries to make friends with other dogs and observes the actions taking place at a short distance, he should choose a soft nickname.

On the one hand, choosing the right name for a small puppy seems like a very tedious task. But there is a chance to show imagination, or you can plunge into an exciting adventure and get acquainted with dogs of different breeds, owned by celebrities.

Thanks to the advice of experienced dog handlers and professional breeders, it turned out to draw up a useful list of recommendations with which the new owner can give his puppy a unique name.

• Nickname brevity... The dog will not be able to remember a name consisting of three or more syllables. The name of the dog should be short and understandable, otherwise the pet may get confused and stop responding to the call of the owner.
• Preferred sounds. Most dogs prefer hissing sounds in their names, making it easier for them to remember their nicknames. It is desirable that there are very few letters "P" in the pet's nickname, otherwise the animal in the subconscious will begin to compare its nickname with a battle roar, which will cause aggression.
• Public respect. The pet owner, living in a multifaceted society, must understand that the animal's nickname should not offend acquaintances and strangers passing by. You can not call a dog religious nicknames, this can cause unpleasant feelings in other people. The same goes for nationality, although many concepts are ideal for large-breed boys.
• Team resemblance... The pet name should not be similar to any of the studied teams. Otherwise, the animal will be confused and will not respond to the call of the owner. Or maybe he gets confused and starts performing a team action. On the other hand, a purebred dog can be called a solid male nickname, similar to the team, but in everyday life use a shortened version of the nickname, which has no similarity with the elements of training.
• Human name... The owner of the animal should remember: you cannot call your pet by the name of a person. This nuance will allow you to avoid many unpleasant situations that can arise completely by accident.
• Finding a beautiful name... To make it easier for a person to find a suitable nickname for a pet, there are many sources of information.
