Superb Schnauzer Names

Choosing great Schnauzer names is very important. The breed has a bubbly personality and is full of fun, but every dog has a different character. That’s why it’s important that your puppy’s name suits him or her. There will always be an element of guesswork involved in naming any puppy, as you won’t know what sort of “person” he will grow into. However, you will know what color your pup will be and what size he will grow to be, depending on whether you have a Miniature Schnauzer or a Giant Schnauzer.

As well as reflecting your dog’s looks and personality, your dog’s name also needs to fulfil a purpose. A recall purpose! Always choose a short name that’s easy for your pup to learn and remember. Don’t choose long, complex names, unless you can think of a cool nickname that your Schnauzer will be able to learn easily.

Finding Inspiration

You can draw inspiration for Schnauzer names from many sources, some of which can be quite unexpected. For example, you might have a family member, friend, or colleague who bears more than a passing resemblance to your pup!

Be careful though if you do choose someone’s name for your pup, in case you cause offense. It might be a good idea to ask them before you name your Schnauzer after them!

A really good source of inspiration for dog names can be found in lists of baby names. These books typically publish the meaning of each name too, so you can choose a name with a special relevance to you.
