How to name a toy terrier: the best nicknames for boys and girls

Toy Terriers are one of the most beloved breeds of miniature dogs in the world. Toy terriers are wonderful companions; their small size allows the owner to take the dog with him literally everywhere. A dog of this breed is a full member of the family. Therefore, owners are especially careful when choosing a name for a dog. From the article you will learn what you can name a toy terrier puppy, you will be able to find recommendations for choosing and find out which specific names are suitable for such babies. We have combined the most popular ones, dividing them into thematic groups to make it easier for you to choose a name for your favorite toy terrier.

General recommendations for choosing a name for a dog

Dog experts recommend choosing a nickname for your pet responsibly. After all, a dog’s nickname should be given once and for life. In principle, it is possible to change the name, but the pet is unlikely to respond to a word that is unfamiliar to it. In addition, there is an opinion that the nickname that a dog was given in childhood can to some extent influence what it will become in the future.

When choosing a name for a puppy of any breed, there are several points to consider:

It must match the appearance and habits of the animal. It is absurd to call a nimble and active dog Quiet, and a dog with black fur Snezhka.
Some breeders like to give their pets popular human names. This is not a very good option, since such a nickname can disorient the dog. For example, she will react to this name whenever she hears it. The same will happen if there are several dogs living in the yard or in the area with the same name as the pet. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the uniqueness of the name.
The nickname should be short - only in this case the toy terrier will like it. The best option is one or two syllables. This is especially important if you plan to train the dog.
Nicknames that make others laugh are also not suitable. Eventually, such a reaction will become annoying and you will want to rename your pet.
The whole family needs to choose a name for their pet. It should be easy to remember for both young children and elderly relatives. And one more thing - you should not name a new pet after the one that lived in the house before.

Features of choosing a name for a toy terrier

The Toy Terrier is a small creature, whose appearance does not correspond much to the ideas of the majority that every dog should protect its owner and his home. But it is worth noting that some representatives of this breed fearlessly rush at an enemy who is several times larger than them.

Toy terriers vary in appearance:

dwarf, mini and supermini;
with long or short hair;
with different colors.

All these points can and should be taken into account when choosing a nickname. Here, for example, are the options for names depending on the color of the coat:

Mocha and Devil, Tionga and Babette - for black and tan male and female puppies;
Opal and Creme Brulee, Vanilla and Powder - for fawn dogs;
Fire and Ryzhik, Cinnamon and Zlata - for red representatives of toy terriers.

The following names are also perfect for these tiny animals: Coal or Nochka, Snowball or Marshmallow.

The body structure of Toy Terriers is also special. They differ:

long thin legs;
beautiful curved long neck;
small head with bulging eyes;
high ears.

The names Minnie, Smiley, Funtik or Krokha will help to emphasize the diminutiveness of the dogs. For very active and active pets, nicknames such as Bike, Bagheera, Veterok and Egoza are suitable.

Particular attention is paid to purebred toy terriers. As a rule, breeders give them a name. This can be explained by the fact that the nickname is recorded in the pedigree. But this does not mean that the new owner will have to be content with the name that the pet received at birth.

Here you can do this: agree in advance with the breeder to name the puppy together. Moreover, a purebred Russian Toy Terrier's name will consist of several words: the first begins with the same letter as the father's name, the second with the first letter of the mother's name, the remaining words (if any) can completely repeat the names of their ancestors, if they distinguished themselves by exhibitions. The second name is always given by the breeder, but the first name can be chosen by the new owner. You just need to get to know the baby and determine for yourself a number of its characteristics.

Owner reviews

Oleg K. We didn’t think for a long time. When this small dog came to us, we immediately realized that the baby had a cool disposition. He bravely defended the bowl from our big dog and tried to protect our daughter when other dogs barked at her on the street. Our pet is Thor. No one doubts his strength and power.

Irina K. My girl of the toy terrier breed is so refined and gentle that the name came on its own - Milady. Sometimes I shorten it and call the dog - Dee, Mila, Dee Dee, etc. She understands everything and responds.

Max R. We have a pair of toy terriers - a boy and a girl. The guy's name is Mick, and the girl's name is Rourke. As you may have guessed, we named them after our favorite actor. Who, by the way, also loves dogs of this breed very much.

Names that reflect character

Such nicknames turn out to be successful if they fully reflect the character of the pet. But this does not always happen. Sometimes the baby is given a name immediately after his birth. It is clear that at this moment it is still impossible to determine the characteristics of the animal’s behavior.

In this regard, you need to take this point into account: such nicknames can only be given to those puppies whose character has already been determined. Examples of names:

Amur;
Becky, Bolly, Bonopart;
Volcano;
Jesse;
Zinger;
Zaya;
Messi, Marquis, Mickey;
Pele;
Rina, Riki-Tiki-Tavi;
Sonya;
Charlie.

Thus, when choosing a nickname for your pet, you need to adhere to the rules: it is easy to pronounce and remember, reflects the individual characteristics of the toy terrier and is unique.

Common mistakes

It has been proven that the names Harold and Harry are perceived differently by puppies. Using several diminutive nicknames in speech can confuse the dog.

It is necessary to remember that what you name a dog is how it will behave in the future. For example, a female named Besya will constantly create problems for the owner with cleaning the apartment, and a dog named Kuzya will become an affectionate and devoted friend for all household members.

Dog names of famous show business stars

Perhaps someone would like to name their dog the same as the idol of millions.

Briefly about the main thing

It is necessary to choose a dog's name according to the rules - short, sonorous, and different in sound from basic commands.
You cannot name a dog like a person after a deceased pet.
The information in the metric does not oblige you to call the toy terrier exactly that; you need to come up with a home version.
Any nickname will suit this terrier - cool, elegant, Russian or foreign. The main thing is to reflect the dog’s character traits in them.

What are the names of your toy terriers? Please share the names and stories behind them. We are very interested!

Is the puppy a boy or a girl? Who is better to choose for decorative dog breeds?

To the question “is the puppy a boy or a girl? Who is better to choose?" I have to answer to everyone who decided to get themselves a dog, including a decorative one. Of course, for miniature dogs the difference between females and males is not as noticeable as in the case, for example, of large fighting dogs, where a male can really be dangerous, but it still exists.

What points should you pay attention to when choosing a boy or girl puppy?

1. Of course, the most obvious difference between cables and bitches is the difference in sexual behavior and breeding.

Girls go into heat and this can become a noticeable problem. Usually the owners of bitches try to breed their pet, but for miniature breeds this form of behavior is not always indicated. The fact is that childbirth in small dogs is often very difficult and can end in tragedy. For some breeds, for example, mini-Yorks, sexual activity in females is contraindicated in principle.

This is easier for males. No heat, no need to breed the animal. That is, of course, it is possible to knit, but it is not worth it, because a male once untied needs regular mating.

However, male dogs have their own problems with sex life. They love, as veterinarians say, to “land” on soft toys, on the legs of their owners, and on everything else that they can “sit” on. By masturbating in this way, males achieve a full erection, which is not always worth showing to children. It must be said that, despite their small size, male ornamental dogs can boast of excellent sized genitals.

It is clear that such dogs are not very suitable for families with small children.

As for breeding decorative dogs and possible earnings from this, for breeding purposes, beginners should purchase bitches of breeds that give birth quite easily, for example, standard Yorkies.

Finding a bride for a male dog can be very problematic, since only very famous specimens are successful with breeders. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make money from breeding an ordinary purebred cable.

Bitches have an easier time with this. Any purebred girl who has RFK documents can easily find a partner with similar documents for a not very large fee, and her owners have every chance of selling the puppies. But, as mentioned above, not all females of small breeds can give birth. For some this is contraindicated in principle, for others it is allowed, but complications are possible.

2. The second point of difference between male and female puppies is their playfulness. Males are more active, they like to attack and bite more. But due to their miniature size, all these attacks and attempted bites are completely harmless, but they amuse the owners a lot. So, we can directly say that boys are more cheerful, cheerful and restless. Therefore, if you plan to walk a lot and actively play with your dog, it is better for you to choose a male; if you are going to take the dog with you to the shops, then take a girl.

Of course, a lot depends on the breed. So a Pomeranian female needs active play and walks more than a Mini Yorkie male.

3. Another difference between males and females is the price of puppies. Bitches are always more expensive and often much more expensive. This is due to the fact that, as already mentioned, they can be bred and make money from it. So, when overpaying for a girl, you need to understand what you are overpaying for. Do you need a dog for breeding? Then yes - it makes sense. If a dog is for the soul, then it is quite possible to buy a boy from the same litter, but cheaper.

What are the synonyms and diminutive meanings of the word “dog”?

People who spend almost all their time with dogs are bound to argue about canine intelligence. Personally, I don’t quite believe in this, but I know for sure that dogs feel a person’s attitude towards them. They sense fear, indifference, kindness, and even love very well. I guess I understand dogs well or they understand me. One day I was asked to look at a computer. I somehow found this house on the outskirts of the city. In addition, it was an old private house with ancient buildings with gates, locks and inscriptions: “Evil dog.” Approaching the gate door, I noticed that I needed to pull the rope to open it. The doors were in the fence, but the house was still about 15 meters away. I didn’t think about anything, I went to the house.

At this time, a dog the size of a calf jumped out of the booth. She ran towards me. I smiled and said: “Well, Doggie, are you welcoming the guests?” Then she carefully stroked her head, the dog wagged its tail and slowly walked into the booth. When I approached the house, people jumped out. They were in a panic, because this dog was a really angry watchman and never let anyone in, could attack anyone, if not bite, then simply knock him to the ground with his weight. I was the first and only one who was not bothered by the dog at all.

The owners were very surprised by this. We went into the room, and I repaired the black box dear to their hearts. Having tasted tea and a variety of buns. When I went outside, I was a little afraid of the dog. Last time I didn’t know anything, but this time they told me such a strange thing. However, the owners stood on the porch, ready to shout to the dog. Having reached the booth, Peach (as his owners affectionately called him) crawled out and smiled at me, wagging his tail. Believe it or not, it was a real smile. I smiled back and walked away.

Another incident happened to me in the North. I was walking along the street of a village, suddenly a white dog jumped out to meet me. It looked like it was a husky, it jumped up to me. I was happy and sat down, extended both hands to her, palms up: “Well, Belka, here we are,” I said. At that time, I saw a running girl who was running as fast as she could towards the dog. Having run up, she stopped and looked at us in amazement: “Squirrel,” she shouted at the dog, “come to me!” The squirrel lowered her head dejectedly, as if she had done something wrong, and approached the girl. “How did you know her nickname?” asked the hostess. I got up from my crouches and answered: “I don’t know her nickname at all. She's just all white. The first thing that came to my mind was to call her Squirrel.” Soon we became friends with the dog’s owner, and she invited me to her house. Where we drank a little tea, a little moonshine, which was abundant in this village, and went into memories.

The squirrel was given to her a long time ago when she was a puppy. After a while, a pestilence of dogs occurred in the village. They died like flies, nothing helped. One grandmother, a healer, told the girl how to cure her dog. The girl had to climb onto the rock using ropes that the climbers had left there, because the herb to heal the dog was only there. The girl almost fell and fell. But on her back she had a priceless load that yelped pitifully. This is what saved her life. Having climbed onto the rock, or rather it was some kind of large hill, she, barely moving her legs, took off the backpack from her back and released the dog, but it could not walk. Then she took the dog in her arms and carried her because she did not know what this plant that heals dogs looks like. At one point, the dog barked, then the girl lowered Belka onto the grass. And she began to eat the plants.

People who climbed this rock left food, water and everything else there everywhere. My new friend didn’t take a drop or a piece with her. She was in too much of a hurry. And here you have water and food, please. She ate and fed the baby. The next day Belka began to recover. “Oh, my girl!” the hostess exclaimed joyfully. On the other side of the slope there was a steep descent. It was impossible to climb it, but my new acquaintances were descending, some on their own two feet, and some on their own fours. The squirrel was no longer sick, the owner said.

These are the affectionate names I used in my story.

Beautiful names for that lady

Did you get an unearthly, simply fabulous creature? Tender, romantic or, with all the airiness of its appearance, slightly arrogant and independent?

In the first case, the nicknames Juliet, Fairy, Assol, Jen may be suitable. In the second - Malvina, Princess, Gerda (this is not only a brave and faithful girl from Andersen’s fairy tale, but also an impregnable beauty from Scandinavian myths!), Hebe (ancient Greek goddess of youth), Nike (she will definitely win at exhibitions!), Flora (ancient Roman goddess of flowers).

Is your little girl a total adventurer who can't sit still? You can call her Alice (two book associations at once, and both girls are adventurers!), Leia (the princess from Star Wars, a girl with a strong character), Amelie (the heroine of a cute French film), Lucy (the brave little girl from " Chronicles of Narnia"), Wendy (Peter Pan's girlfriend), Roni (the robber's daughter), Sophie (the girl from the book and anime about Howl's Moving Castle), Ellie ("The Wizard of Oz").
