The East European Shepherd breed is classified as a service breed, which is distinguished by its calm character and impressive size. For such a dog, an appropriate nickname is selected. More often, shepherd dogs are called by sonorous, short and bright nicknames, which coincide with the dog’s behavior, external features and do not cause disagreements with the people around them. Sometimes a nickname can even change the behavior and character of a pet.

Nicknames for boys shepherds
When purchasing a dog, you first of all think about choosing a beautiful and sonorous nickname for it. At first, this process seems exciting and simple: it does not require consultations with an experienced dog handler - the participation of all family members, a positive attitude and a little imagination is quite enough. However, in reality it turns out that choosing a suitable name for a dog is quite difficult: it must be bright, reflect the individual characteristics of the animal and not cause dissonance among others.
The sooner you give your newly adopted pet a name, the better: it will help him get comfortable, get closer to you, teach him to respond to calls and speed up the training process. To make your task easier when choosing a nickname, we recommend paying attention to the following criteria:
1. Breed of dog. The individual characteristics of the breed can be a good clue when choosing a name. In addition, it is important to consider the size of the pet: nicknames that are suitable for large dogs may be inappropriate for representatives of small breeds.
2. Character. Some believe that an animal's name influences its character. The reverse relationship is also possible: watch the dog for several days, study the characteristics of its behavior and preferences - perhaps they will help you decide on a name.
3. External features. The color of the pet, its height, weight, and individual structural features can also play a role in choosing a future nickname.
4. “Sound” of the name. The animal's name should be short, easy to remember and acceptable to others. Also, dog handlers do not recommend giving your pet a name that is consonant with basic commands, so as not to complicate training.

Pet names
So what to name a German Shepherd puppy if the pedigree includes a long, and often difficult to pronounce, nickname? What name it is listed under in the registration book is one thing, but you need to choose a name so that you can communicate with your shepherd without straining.
Why is it important? Because in the process of teaching the puppy to all the necessary subtleties of correct behavior, you yourself did not forget the nickname and did not confuse the dog.
All training begins with the development of the very first conditioned reflex - the puppy remembering his own name.
This is why pet nicknames exist - easy to hear and pronounce, which means they are easy for a pet to remember from a young age.

How to find a suitable name for a dog
One option is fictional characters.
You can name a dog after your favorite cartoon character, book or even computer game. You can choose the name of the main character or even the villain - everything will depend on the character or appearance of the puppy. Famous people are another source that can be used. You can choose a nickname from the names of famous rulers, such as, for example, Napoleon or Charlemagne. You can dwell on the names of the inventors: Leonardo da Vinci, Edison. Or you can name a dog after a poet, writer, musician, movie star or famous athlete. The country of origin of the breed is another direction for finding a suitable nickname. You can take the name of the country itself or part of it. When choosing a nickname, some turn to stars and other celestial bodies. For example, if the dog is a hunting dog, then it can be named “Rigel” - in honor of the brightest star in the constellation Orion (hunter).
Sometimes it happens that a name for a dog is chosen, but it does not suit the appearance of the puppy or is not liked by other family members. Despite the fact that the list of dog names may be endless, choosing a specific name becomes a serious problem for many.
Sometimes a dog's name comes to mind automatically when you first look at your pet. In other cases, it is necessary to compare different options, think about the etymology, and agree on the name with other family members. It is necessary to choose a name that would be completely suitable for the puppy itself, would be harmonious and would be liked by your loved ones.
