How To Choose Dog Names That Are Perfect For Your PuppyChoosing a name for your new puppy is quite a responsibility. Remember that the dog will have this name for the rest of its life. Names like Fluffy and Cuddles are cute for tiny puppies - but tiny puppies grow! First Things FirstIs your dog a boy or a girl? It sounds like a stupid question but it's surprising how many dogs start life as Paul and have to swap to Paula! You may have been told the sex by your seller - but even they get it wrong sometimes. Here's how to check the gender of your new puppy. Flip the pup over onto its back. Both dogs and bitches have nipples so that won't tell you anything. If it's a boy, there will be a tiny scrotum just under the anus, almost between the dog's back legs. The testicles descend by about 8 weeks of age, which makes it easier! If it's a girl, there will be a tiny slit just under the anus, almost between her back legs. Don't Make People Judge Your DogNames are very emotive. If people hear you call your dog Ripper or Fang, they immediately make a subconscious judgment on the dog's personality. Your dog may be the softest, daftest creature ever - but people will still be wary. The dog's true character can help you to choose an appropriate name. It's worth just watching your dog for a few days and see what sort of character it is. Once you get to know your dog a bit better, names might choose themselves! Be ConsistentOnce you have chosen a name, don't change it. It's part of training your dog. When you call your dog, you want it to come to you. If you keep changing the name, the dog won't make the association and won't know what's going on! |
