How to choose a name for a small dog?
We understand this is a difficult decision because it is not enough just to see a huge list of names. Our dog must have contributed a lot to this decision.

Other useful tips are also presented when selecting a name for your little dog:
- Make sure that the words or the name are not usual in your vocabulary, otherwise she will be constantly confused, thinking that you are calling her. It is the same with the sounds you use frequently; do not associate them with her name to avoid confusion.
- Choose an original name; never use the name of a human. The person may consider this an insult, and when you call him/her, your dog will also come to you.
- The name should preferably not exceed two syllables; this way they will be able to understand it more easily and respond to it. It should be a clear sound that they can identify.
