The Yorkshire Terrier has a unique appearance, but its small growth did not affect the courage and energy of the animal. Choosing a nickname for such a pet is not so simple - most dog breeders are at a standstill, faced with numerous options.
rules
Yorkshire Terrier belongs to small breeds of dogs. He owes his attractive appearance to his coat. Skillful masters of trimming create its shape, volume, and the owner only needs to properly care for the hair. Long curls in front are often collected in pretty ponytails. Cute Yorkshire Terrier needs to pick up the same beautiful nickname.
They say that the name of a person leaves its imprint on his character and destiny, the cynologists noticed the same effect. If you give the puppy, which has already high activity, the name Whirlwind, then this will only strengthen his already strong side.
With such a dog, it becomes difficult to cope despite the fact that it has small dimensions.
They try to give exhibition individuals beautiful sonorous names like the Duchess, Caesar. Such dogs are proud in nature, as if they understand the significance of their person.
To change the character of the pet, the owner should give him a nickname that will add to the dog positive qualities or will be the exact opposite of what is already available, but does not suit the dog breeder. In most cases, breeders do exactly the opposite - they emphasize the distinguished features of a pet’s character in a name, only exacerbating the situation.
Experts advise to learn about the meaning of the nickname before giving a name to the dog. You can call the dog anything you want.For Yorks, they often use sonorous foreign names, the decoding of which takes time. You need to be prepared that little Ares, despite its modest size, will bark around and throw at the dogs passing by. It is possible that other animals in the house will feel bad with such a neighbor, therefore it is worth approaching the name for the dog with greater responsibility.
You should not choose a nickname in honor of the villain and then wait from the complaisant animal, it is better to choose something neutral, if you want silence in the house.
When a puppy is purchased in a kennel, it most often already has a name, since it has pedigree documents and a veterinary passport. Sometimes it is so complicated that it is difficult to pronounce it at home, so the owner tries to find a derivative and invents an abridged version. There are dog breeders who follow a different path - they simply pick up another nickname.
Most kennels leave the opportunity for the future dog breeder to book a puppy, in which case he will have to choose a name on his own. This must be done before the age of three months, since during this period the necessary documents are drawn up. The breeder will give one letter, the name of the dog should begin on it. Some people think that this is a nursery’s whim, in fact it’s not. In one litter, all puppies must necessarily have the names of one letter.
In this case, it is worth relying on the future of the acquired puppy. If this is a show dog, then you need to stop at the original, beautiful, sonorous nickname.
There are dog breeders who give double or even triple names to their pets. If the animal succeeds, then its name will appear in magazines and canine catalogs, which is why it should be memorable.
Everything is simpler when a puppy is purchased for your own pleasure, just for home. In this case, the nickname can be either unusual or funny, the main thing is that it is easily pronounced and remembered. Dog handlers pay attention to the fact that the name of the animal is not just a name, but a call that the owner calls the animal to pay attention to it. It is advisable to be short. It should be easy and quick to pronounce in any situation.
Sometimes you can determine the name of a dog simply by looking at the habits of the dog. Character traits often become a determining factor for choosing a name. Most dog breeders try not to rack their brains and name their pet after a celebrity.
Nobody limits the breeder in his choice, however there is a list of nicknames that are not used for Yorkshire terriers. Do not call the dog an insulting or abusive word.

Everything is more complicated with funny nicknames, which at first amuse the hosts and guests, but eventually begin to annoy. Retrain the dog then respond to another name is extremely difficult.
