What should I call a dachshund?

When a puppy appears in the house, the owners puzzle over what to name it. And the matter is often complicated by the breed of the dog, since the breeder wants the name to convey character, be euphonious and have a certain status. In the article we will consider the original names and variants of rare nicknames for dachshund puppies.

Dachshund breeders have their own rules by which they are guided when choosing nicknames for puppies. For example, they select this or that option based on the qualities characteristic of the dogs of the given breed. Other aspects can also be noted.

• Pedigree animals are not given simple nicknames like Bobik, Sharik, Bugs and Druzhka.
• The name should be sonorous, but the dog perceives a short, long nickname worse.
• The name should not consist of an incomprehensible set of letters; in any case, it should have its own meaning or translation.
• A guide to the choice can be the appearance of the pet or its character.
• You cannot overdo it with creativity in the name, since various incidents can arise in society because of it.
• You cannot call a dog in abusive words: it has been scientifically proven that this affects the character of the pet and its attitude towards the owner.
• The selection of nicknames characterizing the puppy's shortcomings (for example, his injury or physiological features) is not allowed.

In society, these dogs are not considered the most friendly anyway. And with such a nickname, they have no chance at all for normal socialization.

You can come up with names for dachshund puppies according to different criteria.

For example, it can be:

• names that match color;
• the names of animals that have gone down in history;
• names after idols;
• nicknames for individuals of different sex.

The simplest, from the point of view of choice, are the nicknames that take into account the color of the animal. For example, a black puppy can be named Black, Knight or Bran, a reddish-sandy one - Sunny (sun), a bright red - Fox (fox), Goldie (gold). If we talk about the nuances of the breed, then there are many options here.

For example, a puppy can be called Baron, Lord, Prince, Emir. When choosing one of the names, it is important to say it several times - this will allow you to understand how it will sound when you call the dog. If you don't like the name at all, you can choose a hunting option (say, Hunter or Forest).

As for the choice from the category of dogs that have gone down in history, there is also where to roam. The names can be very different. For example, you can choose the nickname Waldi, after the name of the dog that is the symbol of the 1972 Olympic Games. In addition, you can give the puppy a name:

• Wadl and Hexl (after the dogs of Wilhelm II);
• Grenouille (that was the name of Napoleon's favorite);
• Ryan (pet of American General J.S. Paton);
• Lamp (Pablo Picasso's dog).

Representatives of the Dachshund breed have individuals that belong to three different groups. These are standard, mini and rabbit dachshund breeds. This feature allows you to concentrate on choosing a pet name. And for each category, you can choose a lot of nicknames. For example, a medium-sized pet might be called Max, Gross, Grand, or Big. A puppy belonging to a mini can be given the nicknames Little or Poked. The smallest representative of the breed can be called Winnie or simply Vee.

The breeder's outlook can also help determine the choice of a nickname for a dachshund puppy. For example, you can navigate the selection of this or that option by looking into the preferences of such cultural sectors as cinema, music or literature. In addition, the nickname can be chosen in honor of the name of the entertainer. Of course, you do not need to copy it completely, but diminutives are quite welcome. Let's say nicknames are good names:

• Ricky or Ricci;
• Mickey or Morris;
• Jacques, Dick, Sam, Leo or Pitt;
• Bruce or Russell.

As for plunging into the literary direction, here you can borrow individual names, for example, King, Dante, Henry, Georges, Lem or Mathis. It can be an integral part of the name of a character in the book. Also, recently, the selection of a name from modern cartoons has been gaining popularity. Considering that there are often a lot of strange characters with short names in them, full copying is unlikely to offend a cartoon hero, but it is quite suitable for a living pet.

For example, the currently fashionable version of the name is the nickname Zus. In addition, the funny puppy can be named:

• Buddy or Barry;
• Boots or Hector;
• Bucks or Zeus;
• Guf or Damon;
• Snoop or Stark;
• Groot or Hooch.

The name of the puppy is not assigned from birth, and therefore the owner has a couple of days to determine. The nickname can be invented on the basis of any habits or character traits.For example, you can give the puppy the nickname Fanny (funny, funny), Slippy (sleeping); Sly (sly); Pretty (pretty), Brian (smart). Names of this type are short and catchy, they sound good in comparison with the meanings in Russian.

There is a category of nicknames that are completely unsuitable for dachshunds. These include names such as Polkan, Thunder, Bes, Typhoon and similar names. You should not call female puppies such nicknames as Dasha, Liza, Mosya, Kotya, Zhuzha, Masha. By the way, Vasya, Petya, Filya are also not suitable as nicknames for four-legged animals. Noble purebred dogs should not be called by the names of flowers (for example, Peony, Narcissus, Phlox or Rose).

Also, do not give the dog a name after the name of the stone. Opal, Amethyst or Agatha is not a very appropriate choice for dachshunds. In addition, comparisons with sausages (Sausage, Sausage, Sausage) are not suitable for pets of this breed. The list of the most unfortunate names includes such nicknames as Gnome, Pelmen, Cheburek and Pirozhok.

To say the least, the nicknames Sinister, Bully, Tuning, Troll and Coconut are strange. Such names will not add to the status of the dog, but the opinion about its owner will be quite definite. Even if the pet does not differ in complaisance of character, it is not worth calling it that. It is unlikely that the breeder would have liked it if his name was about the same. Names such as Chesun, Lizun, Kusun and Tsarapysh are not needed either.

If you want your pet to have a rare name, you can turn to the nickname options for dachshunds that Asians like. They differ in a special view on the choice of a name that not only sounds beautiful, but also has a certain meaning. The uniqueness of the nicknames is their brevity, while the translation is quite interesting and can speak not only about the character of the pet, but also the attitude of the owner towards it. The Japanese give interesting nicknames to dogs of different sexes.

For example, among the many options, you can choose names such as:

• Michiko (child of beauty);
• Takara (treasure, treasure);
• Yuki (snow);
• Haruko (spring baby);
• Hosiko (star child);
• Megumi (blessing);
• Ayumu (wandering in a dream);
• Aiko (favorite);
• Natsu (born in summer).

As for the choice of a name for puppies-girls, then here you can choose a lot of options. For example, you can name a dog:

• Amayo (rainy night);
• Etsuko (child of joy);
• Nami (wave);
• Hawkeye (shining);
• Hotaru (firefly);
• Hikari (light);
• Kaori (pleasant aroma).

The name of the dog must be chosen in such a way that it sounds beautiful in the pedigree. In addition, it can be adjusted for the reduction. For example, the same Richard in the pedigree may respond to the nickname Rich or Ricci, Digger - if his name is Dig. Let's give a few more examples of successful abbreviations.

• Kari (from Karin);
• Geli (from Angelica);
• Gabi (from Gabriella);
• Reni (from Renata);
• Sabi (from Sabina);
• Matti (from Matthias);
• Rollie (from Rolf);
• Tomi (from Thomas);
• Svenny (from Sven);
• Mert (from Martin).

Choosing such names, the breeder leaves a beautiful and sonorous nickname for the dog, while making it easier to remember the nickname.

Choosing sometimes strange nicknames for pets, breeders do not take into account the degree of its relevance. For example, if the owner thinks the name Tomahawk or Shukher is beautiful, then it cannot have anything in common with the dog. The same can be said about the nicknames Suck, Keks, Scotch, Radar, Sprat, Kisa, Chumka, Gavka. Such nicknames sound ugly, they do not fit into the status of noble dogs, they call into question the adequacy of the breeder.

For example, the nickname Schwartz is much more creative: it is clear who the animal is named after and what its character is.The same can be said about the nickname Mozart. It may hint at the nobility of the breed. Watson can be a researcher, this nickname is good for curious dogs. Paige sounds pretty good too, although it translates as "shorty."

Don't give your dog names that are more appropriate for cats. As much as you want to stand out, Fluff or Murka sounds bad. It is better to call your treasure Oscar, this is a rather spectacular name (the dog can be abbreviated as Osya). Feint will sound good too - this name reflects the mobility and agility of the dog.

You can choose a creative name consistent with our era. For example, Twitter sounds good (from Twitter). The name is rare, if not a single one. Also, the dachshund can be called Dark (dark), Whouppy, Gabby, Roxy. The names of Nicky, Ricky, Dea, Momo, Frank, Sven sound good.
