Passion for fighting dog breeds is a very specific activity. And the point here is not only the “bloodthirstiness” of dog fighting. Representatives of the so-called “fighting” breeds are distinguished by special character qualities, such as increased aggressiveness, courage, stubbornness, and self-confidence. In order to raise such a dog, the breeder must himself have a strong and unyielding character, be disciplined and punctual, because working with such dogs needs to be systematic.
The nickname is of great importance in communicating with such dogs. It should reflect the pet's character. It is advisable that the name be short and sharp, like a clap or a shot, so the dog will learn to react to it with lightning speed. And obedience and good reaction are the main qualities of a well-mannered fighter. In our selection you can find a wide variety of nicknames for fighting dogs, both boys and girls.

American Bulldog
This breed originated at the beginning of the 17th century. The American Bulldog is intended for driving and guarding livestock. But since this breed was too rough, and there were often attacks on animals, they decided to give it to fights and street shows.
The American Bulldog chased bulls, rams and goats with the goal of killing the victim. The outcome was different: either the dog died or was injured, or the livestock became the victim.

Features of choice
The nickname should please not only the owner, but also the dog. It is necessary that the puppy react positively to the new name, so he will quickly get used to it and with age he will be able to distinguish it well among other words and sounds. Therefore, when choosing a nickname, you should follow simple recommendations:
it is better if it is short, only 1-2 syllables; the nickname should be clear and sonorous; tailed animals have difficulty perceiving dull and hissing sounds by ear; should not be consonant with the main commands, for example, Funtik is very similar to the command “Fu!”, and Fars resembles “Fas!”; It is not recommended to call the dog a name that is too popular; it is better to choose something original; When choosing a name, look at the puppy’s reaction; what matters is how he reacts to a combination of sounds.
The miniature size of the dog can be called by names such as Pixel, Gnome, Tiny, Button, Bead, Atom, Mouse and Micron. They are ideal for a small dog. In addition, they can be combined with beautiful foreign names, thus obtaining a double nickname, for example, Little Lucy or Baby Webster.

In order for a dog to remember its name and quickly begin to respond to it in the first few weeks, you need to call it by its chosen call only for good reasons. If the puppy is constantly mischievous and therefore often suffers punishment, then calling him by name for another unpleasant suggestion is wrong.
The dog will begin to associate his nickname exclusively with something unpleasant and therefore will not respond to it, for fear of receiving a serious scolding. You can address a poorly behaving dog by name only after it has become accustomed to it. This simple method will help avoid misunderstandings between the owner and his four-legged friend.
Names for true ladies and gentlemen
Strength and courage are for gentlemen. A well-bred dog is fully worthy of bearing an aristocratic name.
- Archie
- Amur
- Alexa
- Angel
- Baron
