Why English nicknames?
Experts recommend giving a nickname of one, maximum two syllables, since animals respond much better to short names. American names for dogs meet these requirements.
Important! A nickname is what a dog remembers first, what attracts its attention, allowing it to communicate with its owner.
English names for animals, as a rule, are succinct and sonorous; they can convey emotions towards the pet, and this is the main aspect when raising an obedient dog. In addition, breeders often think about selling pets to foreigners. If a dog is named in native Russian, for example, Barbos, then future foreign owners are unlikely to understand this name, and difficulties may also arise in its pronunciation. English nicknames are a universal option for a breeder from any country.
A dog's name should represent its character
The usual Russian name for an animal is already a hackneyed, boring option. Therefore, many people call dogs as in America - Duke, Collie, Rex, Jack, etc. In Russia, such names are very rare, both the owner and the pet will like them, and will also be immediately remembered by others.
