The name of your dog is very important especially if it is a tough male dog.

The first thing which you relate to your dog is with its name.

A manly dog name is not only fetching to sound but gives justice to you and your dog.

For your tough pup you need a tough masculine dog name almost sounding like a badass dog name.

When you name your dog you must keep its breed in your mind.

It is easy to get carried away by their initial cuteness when they are pups.
