The appearance of a dachshund in the house guarantees a lot of positive impressions for its owners. These dogs do not create a lot of hassle due to their innate quick wits and good health. The most difficult question can be choosing a name for your puppy.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a name for a dachshund puppy, trust your intuition and imagination. Often, the right word itself pops up in the mind when we first meet a puppy. Such an associative method is quite acceptable if there are no restrictions (for example, certain requirements on the part of the breeder). Remember that the Dachshund is a hunting breed. Therefore, for the name of the puppy, you can use words related to this topic (Patron, Piston, Trapper, etc.)
Step 2
Give preference to short, clear names. Be sure to check how they sound - dachshund puppies are very temperamental. If during a walk they get carried away with something, you will have to repeatedly call out to your pet, so too extravagant options may look inappropriate (for example, passers-by may not understand the constant cries of "Jump, to me!")
Step 3
The names of purebred dachshund puppies are often subject to strict rules: for example, they must begin with a specific letter corresponding to the serial number of the entire litter. If the breeder gives you the opportunity to name the baby yourself, do not hesitate to use various dictionaries or encyclopedias: the vocabulary of an ordinary person is often poorer.
Step 4
Quite often breeders prefer to give names to dachshund puppies on their own. In this case, you only have to come up with a short version of the name, which will be convenient to use for everyday communication with the animal. In addition, it is easier to accustom a puppy to a nickname if it is short, clear and sonorous.
Step 5
If you decide to have a dachshund as just a pet, try to approach the choice of a name collectively. Let everyone offer their options with justification, and the rest will try to objectively evaluate them.
Observing the pet in the first days of its stay in the new home will also help - the bright character traits of a small dachshund, features of temperament, or just funny features of behavior can push you to a good name.
