General recommendations
The pet's nickname and character have a close connection. A well-known expression says: “As you name a ship, so it will sail.” This principle does not only apply to ships. For example, if you call your pet “Chushka”, then it is likely that in the future he will behave like a pig!
Little girls
In general, we can highlight the following recommendations for choosing a nickname:
- Focus on your desires. If you expect playfulness from your dog, then give it a bright, sonorous name. If, on the contrary, you want the animal to be calm and quiet, then choose an affectionate name.
- Don't give too long a nickname. It will be difficult for your pet to remember its name. But if a complex nickname has already been chosen for your pet, then it is advisable to use its shortened form.
- Nicknames for dogs of small breed girls should not be “loud”. For example, the name “Ada” would be great for a Rottweiler, but unlikely for a Chihuahua.
- It has been proven that dogs respond well to the sound “R”. In order to choose a nickname to which your pet will quickly respond, you should focus on this letter.
- In order to give a name to a small dog, you should use your imagination. Any pleasant words will suit these cute creatures as a nickname, for example, Flower, Butterfly, Candy and others.
And of course, you can’t call your pet an offensive word. Animals, like people, feel good and bad.

You should not give a Doberman puppy the name of an already deceased pet. No one will ever replace in the memory of a loving owner his pet who has gone to another world, so there is no point in reopening the wound. The new dog will become a loyal friend, but it is a completely different animal with its own disposition and habits. It is quite possible that he will not resemble the deceased in any way.
In addition, you should not use the following options:
- very long names of 5-6 syllables;
- consisting of two words, even if they seem to sound witty: Anna Maria, Black Jack, Total Victory;
- cacophonous and indecent names;
- very funny nicknames. They will laugh at the formidable dog during walks, and he will threaten in return;
- human names, especially if there are namesakes among acquaintances and friends;
- simple nicknames that evoke associations with yard dogs will be inappropriate for proud German dogs. Therefore, Tuziki, Balls, Bobiki and similar options should be immediately discarded.
For the rest, the owner can rely on his own taste and desire.
Choosing a euphonious nickname is very important

Criteria for choosing a name for female dogs
Before giving the dog a name, you need to be aware that the nickname will not only reflect the owner’s inner world, his aesthetic and intellectual views, but will also remain with the baby forever. This means that the name should be such that the furry princess quickly remembers it and responds to it with joy.
When choosing a nickname for your pet, it is important to remember that she will have to live with it all her life.
Dog specialists and veterinary psychologists advise taking into account some general rules when choosing a name:
- The nickname must consist of two, maximum three syllables. This is necessary so that the owner does not have difficulty calling the dog;
- if the name contains many vowels, it will sound spacious and loud. Unlike one that consists of consonants, such a name will be better heard in an open space;
- the predominance of consonants in the name can cause aggression even in the smallest pet;
- the sound of the nickname should not resemble the commands that the owner plans to teach his pet;
- a dog name that is too common can cause misunderstanding in general dog walking areas;
- As the puppy settles into his new home, various endearing derivatives may arise from the main name. This is wonderful! But still, you should first let the baby get used to the main nickname;
- Please note that the dog is a girl, so you should not choose a male nickname for her. In addition, it should be cute and sound nice.
Simple rules will help you cope with the difficult task of choosing a nickname.

Cool girl nicknames
Some pet owners prefer original names for their pets. We can highlight the following cool nicknames for dogs of small breed girls:
- Rainbow. If you really love the multi-colored phenomenon that appears after rain, then name a dog after it.
- Lucky. This nickname comes from the English word “Lucky”, which means “lucky”. If you want good luck to always be with you, name your dog Lucky.
- Fanny. Translated from English, “Funny” means “funny.” If you want your dog to be playful, name her Fanny.
- Palm. This nickname is suitable for a pet of a certain breed. If you use your imagination, the ears of the Papillon and Russian Toy Terrier really look like a palm tree!
- Sun. This nickname is usually given to a pet that you are ready to keep in your heart for the rest of your life.
In addition to the listed nicknames, you can come up with an original name for the girl’s dog yourself. Some people name their pets after their favorite candy. For example, nicknames such as Barboriska, Caramel or Bounty are far from uncommon in the modern world.

Practical advice for choosing
Often, owners choose the wrong name for their pet, making certain mistakes. It is worth following some rules that will help you name the animal correctly:
- Some people believe that the nickname for a hunting dog is not important, the main thing is that it performs the necessary actions correctly. However, it is not. It is important to approach the choice of a name for a pet with all responsibility, because it will be called that way for the rest of its life.
- When choosing, you should be guided by the breed and physical parameters of the animal, so that later it does not look funny and stupid.
- It is not recommended to choose a name for a dog that was the name of a deceased animal. This is not accepted, and according to some legends it is even dangerous for a new furry friend.
- You need to choose a nickname once and for all; you should not change it in the future, because the dog will take longer to get used to it.

Important! It is recommended to choose a short, easy to pronounce name for your dog. It should be easily perceived by the animal and liked by him. You should not call your dog names that are too original; sometimes they are difficult to pronounce and difficult for your pet to understand.
