Things to consider when choosing dog names include:
- How it sounds when shouted out loud
- The meaning behind the name
- Your dog’s parentage and pedigree
- Participation in dog shows and performances
An excellent book on dog names is: The Big Book of Pet Names – an indepth guide to pet names and their meanings.
