What is a good name for a male boxer dog?
Answers:
I think Rocky is a good name for a boxer.
Dozer, Milo, King, I have a Female boxer named Abby Normal.
Mugz. Their faces are so droopy I think this name would be a good cute match.
butch
Beau
i think that instead of asking that you should go out and find some blue corn somewhere.
Make it a cute name so its like the opposite of what people think of boxers. Like if you had a chihuahua name it Rex or Butch.
Bruiser, Sully, Timothy, Freddy, Jeremy, Arathorn, Jeri, Arnie, Simon, Trucker, Rollo.I got plenty more
Be creative or just use a human name!!
Titus
Apollo
Zeus
duke or casey
either Monty ,Tyson ,buddy ,buster ,rocky ,rusty or shadow it just suits there personality and breed
Here our some useful tips in choosing a name for your dog or cat. Please remember that the pet-name you choose will used dozens of times a day to call, praise and perhaps scold.
Pick a name that the pet can easily recognise. Animals respond better to one or two syllable names.
Choose a name that鈥檚 both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out. Calling out "Jack" or "Zoe" in the park may be far less embarrassing than calling out than "Death Breath".
For dogs avoid names that sound like the standard commands of No, Stay, Sit, Come, Down or Fetch. For example "Joe" is probably too close to "No". It can be difficult for dogs to tell the difference between similar sounding words.
If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version. A long name will inevitably be shortened, but it may ruin the effect that you were originally looking for.

The pet鈥檚 breed heritage can provide some useful inspiration. For example Orientals ( Siamese and Burmese) , German (Shepherds, Dachshunds and Schnauzers), French (Poodle), Scottish (Terriers), or Irish (Wolfhounds and Setters). The Human Name and Foreign Name categories may assist here.
Waiting a few days to study your pets behaviour can help pick the right name. The Personality, Affectionate and Appearance categories may assist here.
Pick a name that will grow with the pet. For example "Kitten" may be less appropriate for a full grown cat.
Other than this, be adventurous!
Naming pets has far more leeway than naming children, where thought has to be given to peer group acceptance, blending first and last names and how the initials may appear.
good luck

My Grandfather's best friend was a pug from New York that was a championGolden Gloves boxer when he was a young man, he had buggy eyes and looked kinda like a boxer dog. His name was Charlie King, either name would work for me. If all else fails, call him Spike.
I would pick a name that suited his personality. I have a female boxer named Princess and a male named Cole (he is dark reverse brindle and she is a fawn)
King, Brutus and Theo.
Tiffany: I don't think you will be happy with any name we come up with here. If this is your new best friend, I'm sure you will come up with a name for your Boxer that will come from your heart and will strengthen the bond between you and him. It will be a name that he will respond to when you call it out. You will know it is the right name, both of you will know it when you hear it. Spend more time with your boxer. The name will come. Doesn't matter if other people think it is a good name for a Boxer. All that matters is when you call your best friend he comes because he likes his name and he likes you.

Wrigley
I work for a pet insurance company and i hear hundreds of dog names all day and most are very common or plain. I really like the name Wrigley its diffrent and its where my Chicago Cubs play. GO CUBS

Sadie for a girl dog, Brady for a boy dog.
opie? my dogs name is mabel, i think it suits her well. cause its kinda like an old ladys name and i have a pug and they have all the wrinkles and such on their face and yeaaag
Boy - Robby
Girl - Lindsay
spantaqueeeeee..
lassie
If it is a male, name him Harley. If it is a female, name her Lucy Lu.
I agree with another answerer here, let your sister name her own dog.
I have always felt it is best to name a dog something other than a human name. A dog named George or Susan seems foolish, whereas a dog named Jumpy or Whiskers seems more appropriate
I guess it depends on what kind of dog..if the dog is a ' black lab;, I wouls name it " turbo' or 'blondie it its yellow lab, if its a dalmation dog, " black jack' is a cute dog name good luck!
What about Dinky? or Lucky? or Sparky? or Pinky?
if the dog is for ur sister, then she should name it. just spend time with the animal and it will name itself for u with its actions and responses to ur voice and behavior.
how about sparky_{sparkeee}
Rudy short for Rudolph
If its your sisters dog let her name it. It should not be your decision what the name of HER dog is. If she wants to name it something stupid let her, the dog is hers.
If he had not back legs and big brass balls you could call him sparky
It doesn't make too much of a difference if it ends in an e sound, it will just help the dog learn his or her name faster. There are other ways of Helping the dog learn it's name, try saying it's name, and everytime you say it give it a piece of dog food (small piece) and soon enough your dog will come running!
As for names I've always liked
Boys- Buster, Spirit, Max or Maxy, Sparky, Buddy, Bruno and Jake
Girls- Maxine, Holly, Abbie, Bella, and Lady

what is a good name for a dog?
he is a chihaha
Answers:
Naming a pet is very personal. He/she can become like your child. One thing that should be considered is picking a name that does not sound like words you use every day. For instance, a name sounding like 'like' will often deceive your dog into thinking that you are calling him when you're just talking. Soon they may ignore their name as meaningless if so commonly used. Learning to come when called can save your pet's life, so name him something he can distinguish from your everyday speech. Even so, it may take a while for him to learn his name, so do not use it negatively or he'll think it is a bad word.
Since chihuahuas are from Mexico, it is fitting to give a Mexican or Spanish name. Besides the websites below, you could just pick up a Spanish dictionary and browse, or look at baby name books for Mexican names.
Fun fact:
The ancestors of the chihuahua breed were popular among the Toltecs and the Aztecs who worshipped them and used for food. Since these dogs have a soft spot on the head (molera), they were presumed to have the power of leading the dead through the underworld.

What is a good inside dog to have?
I want something that doesn't shed a lot and is fairly easy to train.
Answers:
Energy Level is the most important factor when looking for a dog.. even more important than size.
non shedding dogs include the ShihTzu, Lhasa Apso, and Bichon. however such dogs (especially the first 2) are considered difficult to train becuase they are low intelligence - this is why they make good house dogs.. a low intelligence dog isnt as time demanding as an extremely intelligent one like Jack Russell Terrier or Border Collie.. who will tear your house to shreds if its bored
I suggest getting an adult dog.. they are far less work than a puppy.. you can select one from your local SPCA or animal shelter where you will get honest information about dogs in general and breeds (remember not all dogs fit into the behavior patterns of that breed)..
NEVER go to a pet store - they will lie to get a sale and you will pay too much for a low quality pup.
if you are worried about shedding- the food quality has the biggest impact on the amount of shedding.the non-shedding breeds need regular trips to the dog groomer for hair cuts (every 6-8 weeks) or their hair becomes painful mats.
a stuffed one?
I think if you want an inside dog maybe look at a different pet as most dogs like to go outside occasionally. However if you do want something that is going to go ok inside I suggest Mexican Hairless, Pug, Poodle(minituare) chihuhua or maltese or shitzu as all of these dogs will go ok inside and as for shedding hair a poodle is probably your best bet as they don't shed at all and are extremely clever dogs.
Pug. I like the black one.
Chihuhua
Brian, I know just the dog for you. Get a Shih Tzu. I have one, and I know first-hand that they are very easy to train, very very smart, affectionate, good with kids and other animals, and they are considered "hypo-allergenic" meaning they don't shed or have dander. Their fur is more like hair, which means that they do require regular visits to the groomer. I keep my Shih Tzu (her name is Sweet Pea) cut short, in what's called a "puppy cut." She looks adorable, and it prevents her from getting mats and knots in her coat. Hope this helps you out. There is a fun website you can check out called www.petfinder.com. You can search for adoptable pets in your area. Rescuing a dog is such a rewarding experience, for you and the dog. Good luck!
It depends on how big your place is but any kind of dog can be a good house dog.
I would go with a minature pincher. They are small but alert. They are great watch dogs plus they are easy to train.
It depends on the amount of space you live in. If its a house with a medium to big size and have a yard you could have a larger variety to chose from. But if you live in a small apartment you should only proceed with smaller dogs. For example; Chihuaha, Pug, Maltese, Pekignese, Yorkshire Terriers and mostly toy dogs.
If you have a bigger place you could own a Labrador, Golden Retriever and maybe a German Shepherd dog! These breeds are easier to train.
Since I can remember we have always been an inside dog family. we never make our pets sleep outside in cold, rain, heat, etc. Recently we had to downgrade from a rottwieler to a rat terrier due to moving so much and space constraints. The biggest part of making a decision is "how much time and effort are you willing to put into making a living breathing animals life as comfortable as it can be?" it all depends on you.
I love my Yorkie. She's beautiful, energetic and loving. However, she refuses to do her business outside. She's less than 4 pounds so her business isn't so busy, that a pad is difficult to care for. She requires a lot of brushing, so if you aren't into grooming, a Yorkie isn't for you, unless you keep it clipped all the time.
The easiest dog for training I ever had was a Mini Schnauzer. As they age they often become grouchy. It can happen to the best of us.
Keep in mind that dogs that don't shed much will need to be clipped often to avoid bushy matted hair.

Energy Level is the most important factor when looking for a dog.. even more important than size.
non shedding dogs include the ShihTzu, Lhasa Apso, and Bichon. however such dogs (especially the first 2) are considered difficult to train becuase they are low intelligence - this is why they make good house dogs.. a low intelligence dog isnt as time demanding as an extremely intelligent one like Jack Russell Terrier or Border Collie.. who will tear your house to shreds if its bored
I suggest getting an adult dog.. they are far less work than a puppy.. you can select one from your local SPCA or animal shelter where you will get honest information about dogs in general and breeds (remember not all dogs fit into the behavior patterns of that breed)..
NEVER go to a pet store - they will lie to get a sale and you will pay too much for a low quality pup.
if you are worried about shedding- the food quality has the biggest impact on the amount of shedding.the non-shedding breeds need regular trips to the dog groomer for hair cuts (every 6-8 weeks) or their hair becomes painful mats.
a stuffed one?
I think if you want an inside dog maybe look at a different pet as most dogs like to go outside occasionally. However if you do want something that is going to go ok inside I suggest Mexican Hairless, Pug, Poodle(minituare) chihuhua or maltese or shitzu as all of these dogs will go ok inside and as for shedding hair a poodle is probably your best bet as they don't shed at all and are extremely clever dogs.
Pug. I like the black one.
Chihuhua
Brian, I know just the dog for you. Get a Shih Tzu. I have one, and I know first-hand that they are very easy to train, very very smart, affectionate, good with kids and other animals, and they are considered "hypo-allergenic" meaning they don't shed or have dander. Their fur is more like hair, which means that they do require regular visits to the groomer. I keep my Shih Tzu (her name is Sweet Pea) cut short, in what's called a "puppy cut." She looks adorable, and it prevents her from getting mats and knots in her coat. Hope this helps you out. There is a fun website you can check out called www.petfinder.com. You can search for adoptable pets in your area. Rescuing a dog is such a rewarding experience, for you and the dog. Good luck!
It depends on how big your place is but any kind of dog can be a good house dog.
I would go with a minature pincher. They are small but alert. They are great watch dogs plus they are easy to train.
It depends on the amount of space you live in. If its a house with a medium to big size and have a yard you could have a larger variety to chose from. But if you live in a small apartment you should only proceed with smaller dogs. For example; Chihuaha, Pug, Maltese, Pekignese, Yorkshire Terriers and mostly toy dogs.
