Nicknames for dogs of German Shepherd boys: Russian, cool and beautiful

How to choose the right nickname

The nickname for a shepherd is a matter of personal preference of the owners. The animal will almost not care what it is called. He (or she) will be happy with any name that you, the rightful leader of the pack, choose for him.

Simple tips to follow when choosing a name for your dog:

The nickname should be short and euphonious.
Carefully examine the puppy's appearance. Maybe he has some peculiarity: a spot on his ear, kind eyes, big paws. This will give a little impetus to choosing a name. Maybe he looks like some celebrity?
The breed comes from Germany, even its name is German. The beautiful and at the same time graceful appearance of an adult dog matches its harsh German names.
It is not necessary to name your pet on the first day. Watch him for a while. Maybe there is some positive character trait that can be emphasized. Is he a restless person or a loner? At the same time, do not focus on traits that are negative for the dog.

Approach choosing a nickname for a shepherd as you would a name for your own children. After all, a dog is a full-fledged member of the family.

Impact on character

When choosing what to name a boy or girl shepherd dog, you should remember that the name largely determines the animal’s character traits.

How to name a black cat: choosing a nickname for a boy and a girl

According to research by French zoologist K. Cuvier, certain sounds that a pet hears from childhood help to form specific traits in its character. The more often you call an animal by name, the greater the chances that the pattern will work. So, the influence of vowel sounds:

“a” – the animal will grow up independent, with leadership abilities;
“and” will endow your pet with good nature and self-respect;
“e” will give energy and dynamism;
“o” is suitable for those who dream of a serious, phlegmatic dog;
“y” will make the German non-conflict;
“yu” – soft, compliant;
“e” will formulate curiosity in the baby’s character.

Consonant phonemes also have a certain influence on the inner world of the animal. At the same time, voiceless consonants are practically insignificant, but the sound “r” will help the puppy grow into a bold, courageous and independent dog. “N” in the name will form loyalty and devotion to the owner and his family. Hissing dogs negatively affect the animal's temperament, making the pet obsessive and disobedient.

Note! Breeders recommend giving German Shepherds nicknames that go well with the owner's name. Then an ideal relationship will develop between them.

Nicknames for “Germans” are varied

What not to call a dog

But you shouldn’t give such nicknames to a shepherd dog:

in honor of a deceased animal;
a common name in your region;
consisting of more than 2 syllables;
in tune with the command;
funny or swear word.

Take the latter most seriously. Shepherds quickly get used to their name. It will be almost impossible to retrain the dog.

We also advise you not to use diminutives from the original nickname. The animal must respond to one single name.

Russian names for German Shepherds

The habits of your pet may prompt you to a suitable nickname.
Several years ago, two German shepherds of “Russian origin” conquered the international ring - a black-haired, elegant male Aldan and a small, sweet girl with a cute pet name Tosya.

Let's support domestic producers! – For dogs, it is customary to choose the names of the language in which the breed was bred.

However, today there are practically no countries left where the German Shepherd is not bred - one, and the quality of the BUT livestock in our country is in no way inferior to the classic German - two.

Try to pick a Russian name from the list and name the dog in Russian.
