Each dog breed has its own unique characteristics, and its representatives - character traits. Therefore, they try to name the representative of each species as something unique in order to distinguish it from the background of other individuals. Pugs are no exception to the rule. These dogs are smart, cute and very intelligent representatives of the canine world, so their nicknames should be appropriate. How to choose the right name and what options exist for males or for girls will be discussed in this article.
Features of choice
The owners of these pets often wonder what can be called a pug to emphasize its uniqueness, charisma and unusual character.
In order for the nickname to really fit the animal, and it felt comfortable, It is necessary to take into account some of the nuances of choosing nicknames for pets.
- These animals are of aristocratic and noble origin. Therefore, to call them some kind of funny or playful nicknames is still not worth it. Firstly, such dogs will look awkward in the future, and secondly, the nickname still leaves its mark on the animal itself, its character and behavior.
- The recommended length of the nickname is 2-3 syllables, it should consist of a maximum of 5-6 letters. If a pug has a noble origin and pedigree, then usually he also has a long name given to him in the nursery. In such cases, an abbreviated version of the name is selected for the animal for daily communication, so the dog can remember it easier.
- Zoopsychologists and professional breeders insist that nicknames containing growling sounds are best avoided. Over time, even the calmest pug with such a nickname may begin to show unmotivated aggression.
- Pugs are of Chinese origin, so often their breeders choose them and oriental names. But before making the final choice, it is important to find out the true meaning of the nickname.
- For small dogs of this breed, you must choose nicknames with such vowels as "a", "y" and "o". Pets respond well to nicknames containing hissing sounds.
- Avoid nicknames, the sound of which is similar to the basic commands of the training. A pug can start to confuse sounds and simply stop executing commands.
It is worth remembering that when choosing a name that is too complex and long, the animal will get used to it for a long time, and in stressful situations the owner will not be able to immediately attract the attention of the dog to himself.
