So, the puppy is already at your house, he was picked up a cozy and warm place, a bowl with food was put. But there is still a very important matter, which is better to decide on the joint council - the selection of the name. Comfortable and pleasant for the ear nicknames for dogs of Spitz , York, Chin, Pekingese and other babies are important as well as for large dogs.
Begin the selection of a name
Usually, the hosts try to imagine how their pets will look older. With crumbs it's a little easier than with huge dogs. They change much less with age, although it is clear that the very behavior of the puppy and adult dog will be very different. Life, the attitude of the owners, training, even food can weak-willed and good-natured fluffy lump turn into an evil monster. And, on the contrary, an irritable and suspicious puppy, being in attentive and affectionate hands, can become obedient and sweet creation.
There are things that do not change with dogs over the years - these are various external signs. A spot on the face, one ear black, and another light, sticking out a funny tail. You can highlight this feature in the name of the baby. Instantly comes to mind the nickname of the famous dog with the wrong color, who became the hero of the movie "White Bim Black Ear".
There are many people who try to be original, stand out from the crowd. Even their dogs, they call daring and defiant. It is clear that they use extravagant names more often. But if you judge by fairness, the nicknames for such dogs are crumbs, like chihuahua boys, should hardly be cumbersome. Calling the dog Winston, we see before the eyes of a major premier Churchill, and Titanic is associated with a huge liner, which is quite unlike the Russian toy-terrier. But the nicknames Mini, Kroha, Little, even a simple Babe, will sound appropriate.
If you really are confused with the choice, then you can use the methods of selecting the nickname, guided by the following criteria:
- take the nickname of the most famous dog of this breed or any funny doggies from cartoons (Kashtanka, Snoopy, Totoshka, Pluto);
- as already mentioned, it is convenient to use the features of the appearance of the pet;
- the names of literary characters, tiny dwarfs, elves and other fairytale characters of a miniature species (Hobbit, Liliput, Nils, Nutcracker);
- if you are fond of music, then choose the original name of the famous singer or musician, which is slightly outwardly resembles your pet;
- geographical names, you can recall where the ancestors of the breed come from and other things.
How does the name affect the attitude of the dog and the owner?
Everyone knows that the name greatly influences the fate of both man and any animal. If it is gentle, the master even involuntarily utters it every time with tender intonations. The aliased names of Molly, Mila, Lady, Lucy are associated with something gentle and pleasant. This is also the case with male names. Why, for example, do the nicknames for Yorkie boys have to sound rude? After all, these animals are so cute, playful and glorious. Toby, Barney, Sparky will be much better than something rude and tough, like Bagore, Vampire or Oboe.
Let's give an example, taking the seemingly beautiful name of Hephaestus. Something in it is antique and seemingly beautiful, but when you say this word, even trying to do it kindly, it sounds intermittent and rude. Of course, each owner has his own tastes, and if he wants to raise a tough and evil dog, Fuzzyk will not do it very well. But after all, we are now talking about how to look for nicknames for small dogs of boys, not about sentry or fighting breeds. Therefore, the criteria here are completely different. From small dogs, people most often want obedience, understanding, friendship. So try and call your pet so that it sounds cute, beautiful and harmonious.
