The problems of young breeders and young parents are often very similar. Sometimes the problem of choosing a name for a newly acquired puppy is quite acute. After all, the name should reflect not only the character and temperament of the pet, but also be in accordance with the standards of the breed.
It is necessary
- - genealogical documents;
- - specialized cynological literature
Instructions
Step 1
The name of the dog, like the name of the person, should reflect the mindset and character traits of a particular individual. Therefore, when choosing a name for a pet, remember that it can affect both the perception of your pet by the people around you, and its subsequent fate in general.
Step 2
Examine the dog carefully. Pay attention to whether there are any special signs on her, evaluate the distinctive features of her appearance, habits, temperament. Try to follow her behavior, whether she frolics all day long, or prefers to quietly watch what is happening around. Based on this, you can choose a name that would fully reflect the personality of the puppy.
Step 3
When choosing a name, it is important that it is suitable for both the puppy and the adult dog that your pet will be in a few years. Also pay attention to the breed - for foreign breeds, such as shepherd, setter, Giant Schnauzer, foreign nicknames are quite suitable.
Step 4
When choosing a nickname, pay attention to the fact that the puppy remembers it easily. Scientists have shown that two-syllable names are best "engraved in the memory" of dogs. Also, the nickname should sound different from the standard cynological commands - "fu", "sit", "place". Otherwise, the puppy will get confused in them. It is best if there are a lot of sibilants and sibilants in the pet's name - these sounds are well perceived by dogs.
Step 5
If the puppy has a club origin, then its previous owners will most likely express a wish that his nickname begins with a certain letter associated with the sequence of the litter. However, in no case do not call the puppy by the name of a deceased animal - there is a high probability that the dog can later repeat its fate.
Step 6
If, in the end, the thoughts did not lead to anything, you can use the search for names on special cynological sites, or resort to special cynological literature. Thanks to this, you can significantly ease your work and choose a nickname that will suit both you and your pet.
