German Dog Names

December 17, 2018 By Alex T Leave a Comment

The fact that you are here, looking for German dog names, means either you are looking to name a German breed, or you want your dog to have a name that is unique and different. The single most important word that every dog will learn is its name. The name you choose for your dog should not confuse with the basic commands like sit, stay, stand, come and go. Dog trainers and experts believe that short names work better. They suggest short dog names of one or two syllables. It would be easier to shout out short names.

Germany has a proud history of being a breeding ground for some of world’s most remarkable dogs. There are over thirty German dog breeds. The well known breeds are:
