How to choose a name for your dog?

In short

Sharik, Tofik, Gandi, Mamba or Luna? Everyone who has bought a dog has surely faced the dilemma of what name to give it. When buying a dog from a reputable breeder, puppies already have names assigned starting with a specific letter along with the breeder's affix.

The breeder's dog name doesn't always suit us

We, the future owners, don't always like those names. I am a prime example myself. My current dog was originally supposed to be called Shadow:))) However, when I saw him, I decided that this name didn't suit him at all. So he became Dragon, the name he was christened with at the breeding kennel where he was born.

Some people think that giving a dog a name is trivially simple, but in reality it is quite different. We would like the name to be beautiful, original and unique. The best dog names are those that are short and consist of two syllables. It's also worth paying attention when choosing dog names to include a consonant sound such as: b, d, g, ż, k, n, m, w, r, dż. We often come across dogs that bear human names such as Maja, Tosia, Kaja, Ivan, Borys, or names of various film and fairy tale characters: Bambi, Lassie, Goofy, Aslan, Sharik, Rex, Frodo, Bilbo or names of your idols like Elvis, Jackson, Adele.

What to remember when choosing a dog's name?

When naming your dog, let's avoid offensive names. Remember that the name chosen for your dog will stay with it until the very end. It should therefore suit both the puppy and the adult dog, for example we bought a cute Saint Bernard puppy, and because it's so sweet we'll call it Fluffy. Only within a few months, this small ball will grow into a large dog and a name like Fluffy will be completely unsuitable for it. When naming dogs, we can choose based on what characteristic traits our dog has, how it behaves or what temperament it has and select the name accordingly.

A very nice idea for coming up with a dog's name is also to be guided by the origin of a particular breed. You can also give your pet a name using geographical names such as Ibiza, Congo, Bali, as well as based on your own interests in sports, music, for example it could be a name like Judo, Hockey, Milan, Tiger or Ravel, Verdi, Nirvana, Marley.
Remember to keep the name you give it with it until the very end.
