Conclusion

- The nickname should be sonorous and easy to pronounce. And also - not too long. Therefore, do not give your pet names consisting of more than three syllables as a pet, unofficial nickname.
- If possible, don't call your dog a human name, especially one that is widespread in your area. If you really want to give your puppy a human name, then it is better to opt for something rare, not often found. This will help you avoid awkward situations during walks, as well as at exhibitions and on the training ground.
- The name should please not only you, but also your pet. The fact is that sometimes there are cases when pets, for some reason known only to them, refuse to respond to their nickname. If your girl has been ignoring her nickname for a very long time, then, apparently, it is best to change her name, choosing one that your pet will like.

Has a female puppy appeared in your house? First of all, you need to come up with a name for your baby. This is far from simple; the name will accompany the pet throughout its life. It should reflect its character and be suitable in breed and size, because you definitely wouldn’t call a Sheepdog a Tiny one. What sweet-sounding nicknames for girls' dogs exist - this is the question on the agenda!

What to name the puppy?
Most experts agree that a pet's name should be:
- short (no more than 2-3 syllables);
- sonorous (without voiceless consonants and their combinations);
- please the owner and his family members;
- correspond to the pedigree (not necessarily, why - you will find out later).
First and foremost, the nickname should be euphonious and short. Remember that a dog is a social creature, you will regularly walk with four-legged friend on the street and will often call your pet by name in front of other people. And it is advisable that this name does not make people turn to look at you on the street. Therefore, originality and imagination are good, but, according to the majority, something neutral is still better. A lot in nicknames for dogs depends on their breed, the larger the dog, the more serious and majestic it usually has a nickname.
Well, little dogs all the time have playful and humorous names! In addition, if your puppy is purebred, he will have to choose a name in accordance with his pedigree. Although the name on the passport and the name in life do not always coincide, even for dogs. Typically, breeders give puppies from the same litter names that begin with the same letter. Most often this is the first letter of the baby's mother's nickname. Sometimes in the middle of the nickname there is the first letter of the father's nickname.
We would like to note that these names are most often long, elaborate and consist of difficult-to-pronounce combinations of letters. The easiest way out of the situation is to find a diminutive version of the first name or come up with another one starting with the same letter. Often, a perspicacious owner can easily determine within a few days of observing a new family member which name will suit his puppy best. The animal itself can “tell you”, the main thing is to be able to understand it.
Names suitable for the breed
We have already noted that one of the main criteria for choosing a nickname for a dog is its breed. Therefore, we will try to structure the names of females according to their belonging to a particular breed!
For large breeds
A large dog, such as a Shepherd or Laika, and the name requires a “big” and respectable name. Long names for large females are rarely chosen; it is preferable that the name be short, with sonorous letters, but that it carries a certain strength. So, for Laika, like for a dog from the north, they try to choose a winter name. For example, Aurora, Alba, Vyuga, Ice, Laska, Alaska, Gerda. Many breeders carefully study the meaning of names, for example, you can find Laika with the name Aina, which means “pure, bright.” Video tips on how to name a large Husky breed for your attention next!
The Shepherd is a very popular breed all over the world. And the names of Shepherds can be very diverse. For this breed, the recommended nicknames are Adele, Bertha, Emma, Elba, Hardy. By the way, animal psychologists note that Shepherds with the name Hardy have a strong and strong-willed character, perhaps this is due to the fact that the meaning of this word is “strength”. In addition, I would like to note that when choosing names for females of the German Shepherd breed, some breeders try to emphasize their “German” roots. In this case, Yanga, Juno, Kora, Lotta will suit your Shepherd.
For hunting
Hunting dogs have been human “helpers” since ancient times. They also try to choose short names for them, when you need to quickly call your pet while hunting, there is simply no time to pronounce a tricky name. In addition, they recommend that their name have more sonorous sounds and vowels to make the nickname sound brighter and louder. For a female hunting breed, the nickname Diana is often chosen; this is very symbolic, because the goddess Diana is the patroness of all hunters.
In addition, for a hunting bitch you can consider the following options: Gaia, Nora, Irma, Ara, Lada, Vesta, Yuma. For Greyhounds, Spark or Arrow are often chosen. Golden retrievers also often used as hunting dogs. For beautiful and graceful bitches of this breed, the names Bertha, Omega, Luna or Jasmine are suitable.
For small breeds
Small beautiful dogs are rapidly gaining popularity. Their enterprising owners are no longer trying to limit themselves to Pusyas, Lyalas and Busyas, of which there are already quite enough. Indeed, I would like the name to emphasize the diminutiveness and tenderness of a small dog, and especially a girl. But at the same time, it is important that it evokes some other emotions besides an ironic smile. We liked such original names for females small breeds: Linda, Gloria, Silva, Mimosa, Tina, Daisy, Betty, Amanda, Bonita, Rita, Doll.
Barbie, Zhu-zhu, Ariel, Allexia, Blondie, Viviana, Monroe are considered especially “glamorous” nicknames for babies. Well, small yard dogs are often called Zhuzhki, Bugs or Squirrels.
Popular
We noted that you can most often find bitches with the nicknames Naida, Mukha, Nika, Molly, Bella, Maggie, Daisy, Lucy, Marta, Gera, Lada, Bonya. As you can easily see, names derived from foreign words are more popular in our country. The list of nicknames used is constantly growing, because many owners want to stand out and name their puppy in a special way. These same options are still in great demand.
Rare
Rare can be nicknames that are initially tricky, their meaning is unclear and they are difficult to perceive. It happens when the owner, having named his dog something like that, eventually changes the name to a simpler one. It is not often that you can find bitches with the nicknames Almadel, Bernima, Vilena, Laira, Milagro, Samfira, Tarita, Fransa.
From mythology
Mythology and folklore in general can be considered a storehouse of options for pet names. Athena, Hera, Aphrodite, Ariadne, Artemis, Venus, Vesta, Galatea, Hella, Iris, Kali, Cassiopeia - all this is from mythology. In addition, the following variants are also known: Lakshmi, Lara, Medea, Metis, Nike, Penelope, Selena, Flora, Themis.
Russians
Sometimes the owner of a dog wants to emphasize the national flavor and choose the Russian version of the nickname for the pet. By the way, there are not so many of them, there are a lot of American, Asian, Italian or Spanish options, but with Russians everything is not so simple, especially with beautiful names. In principle, you can use nicknames such as Alenka, Beauty, Zhuchka, Masha, Mila, Pushinka. There are humorous options, such as Sausage or Berry. But, you must admit, all these names are more suitable for small mixed-breed dogs.

What not to call a pet
First of all, I would like to talk about what not to name a dog. There is even a joke on this topic. The girl got a dog and decided it would be funny to name it own name- Masha. After some time, she got married and noticed that the neighbors were looking at him strangely.
One day she goes up to her floor and clearly hears her husband shouting: “Masha! You've shit on the carpet again! Well, as much as possible!”
This story clearly teaches us the first rule: do not name the dog human names. Even if there is no person with that name in your environment now, he may appear in the future. The exception may be foreign names that are not common in your area, for example, Mandy, Violet.
Another mistake is to give a dog a dissonant nickname as a joke. You will quickly get bored and feel unpleasant. You should not give it too long, as it will be difficult for the animal to remember it. It should have a short version that will be used.
Don't give her a name that is difficult for you or your family to pronounce. Think carefully about it. It is unlikely that you will want a beautiful and noble husky to be called Dashka or Palna.
