Need some help with pet names for
large dogs?
Picking pet
names is almost as excruciating for a lot of new puppy owners as naming
their own kids. Don't laugh - it's true! It seems like large dogs are
harder to name for a lot of people than smaller breeds. I'm not sure
why that is, but having a lot of canine loving friends, this has been my
experience. So here are a few pet names that fit large dogs best. Hope
they help!
'Boo'
Some pet names just seem to go great with
big old floppy pooches, don't they? I think of 'Boo' as the
perfect name for large dogs like Catahoulas, Bloodhounds, Coonhounds.
'Mondo'
If you like
West Coast pet names for pups who love water, 'Mondo' is a good one.
Can't you just picture large dogs who love to hang ten with their Valley
Guy owner when you hear that name?
'Porky'
Pet names like
'Porky' don't even need an explanation, right? This is perfect for
puppies who start out fat and you just know are going to be extra large
dogs all their lives.
'Tiny'
This is another
of the many pet names given to large dogs that I love. It's a
tried-and-true formula - naming big pups something small, and little
ones something huge.
'Spike'
Some pet names
should evoke scary emotions, and I think 'Spike' works well. Large dogs
like Great Danes, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers often get this
label, and it sure does fit them in many cases!
'Rufus'
I've always
associated pet names like this with a smooth character. Sometimes it's
hard to tell what a new puppy will be like when he's one of the large
dogs on the block, but try 'Rufus' if he looks like he's going to be
cool and in charge.
