If the puppy is registered you will need a name
for the official registration papers as well as a
call name. Both names are important, but in
different ways. The registered name often begins
with the name of the kennel that the dog came
from. This is also a part of his show name. All
registered names must be original. Although these
names have a rather fancy sound to them, when you
understand more about how they are given they are
actually fun. Read More...

Besides the kennel name the registered names can
include the name of the dam and or the sire. Any
combination of ancestors along with a theme is
very common. However, AKC limits the name to
thirty-six characters in length, including
spaces, so if the names are long it can certainly
present a problem. For an extra fee the length
can be extended up to fifty characters. Registere
d names often have no relationship whatsoever
with the call name. Call names should be rather
short two to three syllables is the recommended
length. Another thing to keep in mind is that if
you have more than one dog the names should be
different enough that the dogs can easily
distinguish them. For example, naming one dog
Holly and another one Molly would not be a good
idea. Read More...

Many people choose to name their dogs right away
in fact, they may even have the name picked out
before they ever see the dog. Other people want
to keep the dog a wait or two before naming him
so that they can choose a name that matches the
dogs personality. And still others prefer a name
that describes the dogs physical appearance to
some degree, such as naming a big dog Bruno or a
Black dog Blackie. Read More...

Originality is nice but when it comes to dogs,
just like peoples names, there are certain names
that are all time favourites for particular
breeds or dog stereotypes. And just as with human
names, dog names sometimes become popular because
of a TV show, a song, an actor, a movie, a rock
band, etc. Since dogs can live to be up to twenty
years or longer it is suggested that the name be
one that is somewhat evergreen simply meaning
that the name will have significance in the years
to come, even if the namesake doesnt. Once you
have decided on a name you should begin using it
as much as possible. The goal is to find ways to
get your dog to associate the name with a
meaning. By using his name regularly he will
quickly pick up on the fact that the name refers
to him. Read More...
