The appearance of a puppy in the house is a joyful but troublesome event. And the main and very first question is the name for a new pet. Coming up with a nickname for a dog is an interesting task that can involve the whole family.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a name for a dog, it is better to give preference to short, sonorous versions. If the puppy was purchased as a gift for a child, be sure to give him the opportunity to take part in choosing a name, and best of all - let him make the final choice.
Don't be overly sentimental. The puppy will grow rapidly, and names like "Pukhlik" or "Masik" will no longer match the appearance of a stately young dog in a few months.
Step 2
If you have purchased a dog with pedigree, the name must be chosen in accordance with the requirements of the club. According to the rules of breeders, the names of puppies in each litter must necessarily begin with a certain letter. To make it easier for yourself, use a dictionary or even an encyclopedia - they often contain many beautiful and sonorous words unknown to the average man in the street. When choosing from such options, make sure that the name is easy to pronounce.
Sometimes breeders choose to name their puppies themselves. In this case, you will have to look for abbreviated versions of the name adapted for everyday use (for example, "Isolde von Beck" may well become just Zosia or Zaya for household members).
Step 3
A name for a pet-class Labrador puppy will not require such tweaks. In this case, you can focus entirely on your own taste and desires. Most dog owners are sure that the nickname to some extent determines the fate and character of the animal, so try to ensure that the chosen option carries a positive semantic load (Sheriff, Bold, Juncker, Adela, Aza).
A good way to find a name for your Labrador puppy is to watch your baby first. During a visit to the breeder, take a closer look at how he behaves around his brothers and sisters, highlight the main character traits. Variants of nicknames in this case can be "Brave", "Bully", "Strong", "Strong". If you want a more sophisticated name, you can look in a foreign dictionary and find the meaning of the desired word.
