Dachshund is a hunting dog. But hardly one-third of acquired puppies will ever actually hunt when they mature. Dachshunds are mainly purchased now as house pets. But the skills of the pathfinder, and the unusual exterior, and the habits of the pet - all can be useful when choosing a name for a puppy.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a puppy. If you bought a puppy with a pedigree, then his name is already indicated in it, which is necessary for official reporting and exhibitions. Usually a name in a pedigree consists of 2 words: the first begins with the "letter of the genus" of the dog, her father; the second - on the first letter of the mother's name. However, the breeder can choose the middle name himself. But usually, dog owners do not use such a tricky nickname in everyday communication with a pet - it is too long and unusual for a dog's ear.
Step 2
Start choosing a name with words that contain traditional "dog" sounds: "r", "l", "m", "s", "v", "y". Such combinations of sounds as "ai", "av" ("af"), etc. are also very successful. For example, Count, Alf, Naida, Mike. Pick a name for your dog that is not associated with another animal. So, you should not call the puppy Barsik, Masha, Homa.
Step 3
Pay attention to the behavior of the animal. If the baby is naughty, with enthusiasm not only gnaws an old shoe, but also a mahogany chest of drawers, name it Jim, Tarzan or Magda. If, on the contrary, the puppy is balanced, and from the first minutes of appearance in the house he obeys the owner, you can call him Lucia or Calvin. If the dog is affectionate with children, then names such as Gloria or Oscar are suitable for it.
Step 4
Don't forget that the dachshund is a born tracker, whether you need a dog to hunt or plan to keep it at home. For the name of the dachshund to "sound" its hunting purpose, it is enough if it is as short as possible (no more than 2 syllables) and easy to remember (Ars, Berta, Pyzh). Pay attention to the exterior of the dog, which is indispensable for hunting foxes.
Step 5
Name the dachshund by association with various objects that it resembles with its elongated body and pointed muzzle. Sausage, Sausage and even Electric - such names are given today by the owners to their over-stretched wards. It is difficult to say how the dachshunds themselves relate to such half-joking, half-offensive names, but in any case, be as careful as possible when choosing a name, because it to some extent determines the fate of a dog, as well as a person.
Step 6
Go to dog sites. Almost each of them has a huge list of names, from which you can choose a suitable nickname for your pet.
