Names and nicknames of German Shepherd girls. What to name a female German Shepherd puppy?

What names can there be for boys' dogs (German Shepherd) so that they are easily perceived by the dog, sound beautiful and reflect the character of the pet? This question plagues many new owners of four-legged friends. And they do the right thing, because the chosen nickname significantly affects the dog’s behavior. Dog handlers and experienced breeders say that you can name a German Shepherd puppy a boy or a girl based on its character, color, habits, or simply choose a euphonious name. But how to make the right choice? This article is devoted to a detailed answer to this question.

The influence of a nickname on character

Analyzing the character of the German Shepherd, including the combination of all its mental characteristics that determine its behavioral uniqueness, we can safely say that the dog has a whole complex of qualities that express consciousness and level of intelligence, willpower and emotionality.

The conclusions that the character traits of the German Shepherd directly depend on the breed are currently beyond doubt . But the nickname is also of no small importance in shaping the behavioral qualities of a four-legged friend. By analogy with a person, you can be sure that a dog has a relationship between its name and character traits, disposition and temperament.

This is interesting! According to experts, it is quite possible to “program” any representatives of breeds characterized by innate aggressiveness, including the German Shepherd, for relatively good-natured behavior, simply by giving them a fairly soft nickname.

When exposed to special sound combinations from a very early puppyhood, animals with softly pronounced nicknames easily develop good nature and a gentle character, and vice versa. It is for this reason that when choosing a name for a pet, it is necessary to take into account the purpose of the dog: guard or security activity, rescuer, guide, or simply a family pet.

Breeders' advice

Experienced breeders recommend giving a German Shepherd pet a nickname that will most favorably combine with the owner’s name. Currently, the existing psychological compatibility of people only with certain names, as well as absolute incompatibility with many others, has been quite well studied. A similar rule applies to the relationship that develops between the owner and any pet.

This is interesting! A correctly chosen nickname helps shape the character of a German Shepherd, and full compatibility of sound components in the name of the pet and its owner will avoid many problems.

For example, a person with such a soft name as Mikhail, Alexey and Ilya (especially if he was born in the spring or summer) is not advisable to give his four-legged pupil soft nicknames. In this case, preference should be given to firm-sounding names: Dick, Mark, Robert, which are able to easily balance the character of the dog and its owner, and therefore improve their mutual understanding. Nikolai, German, Dmitry and Rodion can choose so-called neutral nicknames for the dog: Zita, Laurens, Lorna or Jim.

Depending on the purpose

Service and police

Such dogs are usually taken from kennels, and there they are already given nicknames. But if you have a puppy and you want to make him a service dog, then the nicknames listed below can help you choose something suitable.

For a service dog, the name should be short, clear and clear. At the same time, you should avoid coincidences with ranks, names of units, and so on. Plus, the nickname must be suitable for the status. And don't look too soft. So, what to name a male and female German Shepherd:

Rex
Frank
Jerry
Roxana, Roxy
Vic, Victor
Draco or Dragon
Conrad
Jacobs
Eunice
Bella
Charles
Kaspar, Kasper (ghost)
Duck

Security guard

For dogs that will be intended to protect a house or a person, slightly different nicknames are suitable. Here you need to select something formidable and significant - in order to indicate by name alone that the dog is evil. And not only that, but everyone should immediately understand that the animal is dangerous and it is better not to come close.

Ramses - Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt
Demon - devil
Irbis - snow leopard

Show with pedigree

In this case, the names of all kinds of kings, names of precious stones, and constellations are most suitable. And also Greek and Latin names. In this case, the length of the name does not matter - the longer and more regal the name, the better.

Most often, in pedigrees, one name or another is initially written down - and there is no longer a choice. But if you are going to take a puppy from a dog with a pedigree, then you can choose a name for it, which will be written in it.

Adonis - shepherd and hunter
Diamond is a jewel
Aladdin - thief and tramp
Ambassador - highest-ranking diplomatic representative
Boniface - commander of the Roman-Western Empire
Balthazar - demon
Walter - German composer
Doctor Watson, Sherlock Holmes - doctor and detective

What not to call a dog

It is not recommended to call a German Shepherd by so-called simple, “yard” nicknames: Tuzik, Sharik or Bobik. You should also be very careful about any dog names that show excessive aggression or laziness: Sloth, Medlyak, Sonya, Sinister, War or Attack. The nickname should not be too consonant with some commands, especially “Ugh!” or “Fass!”

Important! The nickname of a German Shepherd, if possible, should meet the most basic requirements that relate to the processes of training and raising a pet. The name should not be too long, preferably a nickname consisting of a couple of syllables, euphonious, fairly easy and quick to pronounce.

Only a well-pronounced and harmonious nickname is remembered as quickly as possible by the owner and his German Shepherd, so the choice of a dog’s name must be approached with all responsibility.

boy

How can you name a German Shepherd boy puppy or adult dog? Is there a ready list of names? Here everything is rougher, more powerful, stronger and tougher. Don't confuse a boy with a girl and don't call a male dog the same as you would a girl. In this case, there cannot be pet names. For the simple reason that it won’t look very nice if, for example, you go out to the park and call: “Funtik, come to me!” It will look quite strange.
