Popular Dog Names

When you adopt, buy or are given a pup, one of the first tasks is to figure out what you will name it.

Choosing a name for your new dog is quite a responsibility. Remember that the puppy will have this name for the rest of its life. Names like Fluffy and Cuddles are very cute for tiny puppies - but dogs grow!

Considering that over the course of your puppies lifetime his name will be used over 40,000 times, and that 1 in 5 new pet owners want to change their dogs name in the first year, choosing the right puppy name should be given as much care and thought as you showed when finding your pooch in the first place.
