So you may ask, what is in a dog’s name? Just what does it matter what your girl dog’s name is? The answer is maybe a fair bit, because your bitch’s name defines him or her in the eyes of your neighbours, especially if you have a rather small dog. For what a small dog lacks in stature it can make up for in attitude. For a small dog, being cute will get her everywhere. But what is a cute dog without a cute dog’s name?
Cute dog names are usually meant for female dogs or bitches. Abby, for example is a very cute dog name. When you put that together with a mental image, you probably see a little Westie or a Labrador pup romping around on a lawn in your mind’s eye. Other cute female dog names are Queenie, Beauty, Becky and Blackie. All of these cute dog names seem to embody a bundle of fur that has a sweet nature and just loves cuddles. They all allude to a pretty appearance and a very happy dog owning experience.
However, there seems to be rather few cute dog names available for male dogs. This could be because it lessens the masculine image that male dogs are supposed to have. Still, there are a few cute male dog names out there. Bobby, (Old) Nick, Patch and Tigger are all cute male dog names that have the same effect as the female ones do. However, you do have to ensure that you have the right kind of male dog to name with a cute dog name, because if you get it wrong, it will make him sound silly.
Cute dog names can be appropriate for male and female members alike of certain breeds and can help to develop a lovable personality, because of the affection, with which it will be handled. But do be warned, you do not want to leave your dog open to ridicule so choose when to give cute dog names very carefully.
Whilst dogs are very intelligent animals, they cannot process the same amount of information that humans can. Therefore, dog names should never be more than two syllables. If they are more than that, it is very rare that a dog will actually respond. Max, Sam, Lady, Molly and the like are excellent dog names because they are short and the syllables are hard. They easily respond to those dog names and it can improve your chances of training them successfully.
However, dogs names should assist them shape an identity of their own. Common names do not allow them to do that, so finding something simple but unusual can help their characters no end without damaging their ability to respond on command.
I would bet money that most pet owners do not think of the factors mentioned above when thinking of dog names for a new pet. Instead, dog names are picked at random, but it really is well-worth putting a bit more thought into it, for your dogs mental health if nothing else.
