For a dog, her name is as important as for a person. She, of course, will not be able to express complaints to you when she grows up, but after a while you yourself will understand that you were in a hurry or simply did not take this issue seriously. It is not recommended to change the nickname given to the dog as a puppy, so you need to make the right choice right away.
Instructions
Step 1
Slender, graceful small-sized dogs - Toy Terriers - are distinguished by a cheerful, playful disposition. No wonder the word toy in English means "toy". But toy terriers are not among the glamorous sissies, they are dogs with a pronounced character, able to stand up for themselves and protect the owner, despite their “toy” size. So, the English Toy Terrier is considered a hunting dog at all - the breed was taken out for hunting rats.
Step 2
A dog of the Toy Terrier breed, even if it is, for example, a Russian Toy Terrier, English names and nicknames are suitable, since their ancestors are English producers.
Step 3
A thoroughbred puppy that was purchased from a breeder must already have a name. He receives it by the serial letter of the litter. The name that the breeder will give to the puppy can be quite complicated - some include the names of the parents as well as the name of the kennel. It is simply impossible to use such a name “in everyday life” - until you learn it and pronounce it in order to call the dog, the pet playing will be far away.
Step 4
You can shorten the puppy's name given to him in the kennel, leaving only the first part of it, or calling him another, consonant name, which can also begin with the letter of the litter. In any case, first take a closer look at the baby, perhaps, with his behavior, character, external features, he will remind you of some character familiar from literature or films.
Step 5
The nickname should not be long, preferably one or two syllables. Use sound combinations in a dog's name that will be easy to pronounce and stand out phonetically. Many breeders recommend the "r" sound, which sounds like a dog's growl.
Step 6
Browse specialized sites on the Internet dedicated to dogs of this breed. There you can find nicknames for every taste for both males and bitches. Beat the qualities of his character in the name of the toy terrier, but keep in mind that a small lumpy and sleepyhead, a puppy may well grow into a restless dog, a fidget and a bully.
