How to choose the right nickname?

Purebred dogs purchased from kennels already have a nickname chosen by the breeder in accordance with certain rules:

the names of all puppies of the same litter begin with a letter corresponding to its serial number;
Another option is to match the nickname to a specific topic, such as berries or geography.

Also in Russian nurseries, the name of the dog from which he was born and the name of the nursery are often added to the puppy’s name. Because of this, the nickname turns out to be long and difficult to pronounce, representing a sequential combination of the puppy’s name, his father and the name of the kennel.

It is this name, chosen in accordance with the rules of the kennel, that is recorded in all the puppy’s documents, and under it the pet will appear on inserts where it is required that the nickname be unique, sound beautiful and support the image of the club.

Despite their originality, official nicknames have a number of disadvantages in the conditions of home keeping and communication with a pet: they are difficult to pronounce, do not have the necessary sonority and are not easy to understand.

Therefore, most owners, especially those whose pets do not participate in exhibitions, do not use the dog’s official name, from the first days replacing it with a simpler, sonorous, easily perceived and, most importantly, corresponding to the owner’s idea of what it should be.

IMPORTANT! The simpler and shorter the nickname, the faster the pet understands the connection between it and itself.

There are absolutely no restrictions on pet nicknames; everything depends only on the owner’s imagination. As a source of inspiration when choosing a pet name, you can use the names of movie characters, favorite actors or singers, or name the dog based on its appearance or character.
