The importance of choosing the right name for your new puppy

Bringing home a new dog or puppy is a very exciting time for everyone!

From picking out your puppy (or your puppy picking you), to buying a collar, leash, bed, crate, dog toys, and the like, to most exciting of all – selecting a name befitting your furry prince or princess!

Your puppy’s name will be his or hers for life, so it’s important that you choose a name that is suitable…

Don’t just pick a name because you like it; it should embody your dog’s best feature or looks.

Short and Simple

In addition to giving your dog a suitable name, you’ll also need to be sure that the name is easy to say (after all, you’ll most likely be repeating it quite a few times in the near future) and not too long or complex (constantly repeating a long name will get old very quickly).

Your dog’s name should also sound pretty different from anyone else’s name in your household so that he knows when he’s being summoned.

If his name is too close to a doggy or human friend’s name, then he may not be able to tell the difference!

Now that we have a few naming guidelines established, it’s time to bring on the dog names that start with “B!”

Summary: Dogs names that start with “B”

Naming your dog can be an exciting task that is, at the same time, rather daunting!

Your pooch will carry the name that you choose for the rest of their lives, and so it had better be a good one!

Fortunately, you can draw from a number of things to inspire your puppy’s new name.

This task grows easier if you have already decided what the first letter of his or her name will be… in this case, the letter “B.”

For example, you might call your new female Chinese Crested “Bopsy” after her adorably crazy mane of hair, or you could call your new male Great Dane “Bear” for his formidable size.

If you don’t want to name your dog after their looks, then you can certainly name them something that reminds you of their saucy, cool, or naughty personality – the options are truly endless!
