List of nicknames for Yorkshire terriers

The Yorkshire Terrier has a unique appearance, but its small stature did not affect the courage and vigor of the animal. Choosing a nickname for such a pet is not so easy - most dog breeders get stumped when faced with numerous options.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a small breed of dog. It owes its attractive appearance to its coat. Skillful trimming masters create its shape, volume; the owner is only required to properly care for the hairline. Long curls in the front are often collected in pretty ponytails. A cute Yorkshire terrier needs to choose the same beautiful nickname.

To change the character of the pet, the owner should give him a nickname that will add positive qualities to the dog or will be the complete opposite of those that already exist, but do not suit the dog breeder. In most cases, breeders do exactly the opposite - they emphasize with the name the distinguishing features of the pet's temperament, only aggravating the situation.

You can name the dog whatever you want.For Yorkies, they often use sonorous foreign names, which take time to decipher. You need to be prepared that little Ares, despite his modest size, will bark at everyone around and throw himself at the dogs passing by. It is possible that other animals in the house will feel bad with such a neighbor, therefore, the name for the dog should be approached with greater responsibility.

When a puppy is purchased in a kennel, he most often already has a name, since breeding documents and a veterinary passport are issued for him. Sometimes it is so complicated that it is difficult to pronounce it at home, so the owner tries to find a derivative and comes up with an abbreviated version. There are dog breeders who follow a different path - they just pick up a different nickname.

Most kennels leave the opportunity for the future dog breeder to book a puppy, in this case he will have to choose a name on his own. This must be done before the age of three months, since during this period the necessary documents are drawn up. The breeder will give one letter, on which the dog's name should begin. Some people think that this is a whim of the nursery, in fact it is not. In one litter, all puppies must, according to the rules, have names with one letter.

There are dog breeders who give double or even triple names to their pets. If the animal is successful, then its name will flash in magazines and cynological catalogs, which is why it should be memorable.
