333+ nicknames for spaniel boys and girls - beautiful names for puppies

The name “spaniel” comes from the word “Spanish” and includes a whole bunch of subspecies of dogs bred in the 19th century as ideal hunters. Differing in size, color and shaggy hair, they are similar in the main thing: sunny disposition, sanguine temperament and unconditional love for family.

Originally intended for hunting, the long-eared treasures have gradually taken over city playgrounds, sofas, armchairs and, of course, people's hearts. They love to run, are ready to play around the clock and are able to fall in love with anyone they like.

They get along well with children of any age, gradually going through the stages of growing up together. They chase street cats with excitement, while peacefully coexisting with indoor cats. Well, isn't it lovely?

The name for the puppy will need to be chosen with special care. Get ready: this dog will always be nearby, so you will say his name much more often than your own.

Charming Laila

Interesting fact! It is assumed that the first spaniels were brought to Russia by the uncle of Nicholas II, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov, who was interested not only in hunting, but also in selection, bringing from abroad a variety of purebred dogs that had not been bred in Russia before him.

Names that reflect character

Each animal has its own character. If you place two dogs of the same breed next to each other, you will notice that they have different dispositions, looks, and behavior. Take a closer look at your puppy for a few days.

Also, using a nickname, you can adjust the character of the animal. If the dog is not satisfied with some behavioral parameters, give it the opposite nickname.

For example:

the dog is too active, call him fog, or Chara (for girls), Whisper;
the dog is lazy, not too active, give it the nickname Wind, Lightning, Thunderstorm, Brawler and the like.

The dog's habits reflect the owner's character. You can find out for sure how the dog will grow up by evaluating it from yourself and other family members.

Hunting nicknames

Spaniels are a hunting breed. And even if you do not plan to train your pet to search for game, a nickname popular among hunters will be very appropriate.

For boys:

Ares
Hades
Bay (bay – drive in prey)
Fast
Screwtape

Selection by pedigree

In kennels, the breeder names the dog himself. There it is customary to name a puppy by its pedigree. To do this, the mother's name is added to the first letter or syllable of the father's nickname. As a result, the nickname turns out to be quite unusual, original, but quite long. This is not always convenient, so you can use a shortened version at home.

The dog should be taught to respond to a long nickname if it is planned to participate in exhibitions. Examples of such names could be the following:

Hlotteri – Hlotti,
Siegfried - Ziggy
Rinehart - Rine et al.

Important! The name is always indicated in the pedigree in full, without abbreviations. If you do not plan to attend exhibitions and breed offspring, then the owner may well decide for himself which nickname is best for his pet.

Dog names of famous show business stars

Spaniels are kind and friendly dogs. In addition, they are not large in size, so various stars and famous people often get them.

You can name your pet with a similar nickname:

Ksenia Borodina has female spaniels named Strudel and Spinoza.
Leonid Yarmolnik's dogs are called Solomon and Cupid.
Yulia Kovalchuk's dog's name is Melody.
The nickname of Philip Kirkorov's dog is Pokemon.
Madonna named her dog Chiquita.
Paris Hilton named her pet Tinkerbell.

Of course, when choosing a name for your dog, you should understand that it will remain with him for life, so you should take this seriously.

How pet names are chosen

The question often arises on what basis owners choose nicknames for their dogs. In fact, each nickname has its own story.

Puppy Milos responds to the name Soap. Because as a child he chewed a piece, blew bubbles for a long time, and since then he considers soap his personal enemy.
I definitely wanted a nickname from Scandinavian mythology. They chose him and named him Munir. We were very proud. Grandma arrived: “I won’t remember this.” Now Munya is running around the house. And everyone is happy...
The puppy was named Mandelstam because he began to howl when his daughter learned poetry by heart.
During his first walk, Ludwig fell under the wheels. Through the joint efforts of veterinarians and owners, they literally pulled him out of the other world. Now he is Lazarus. Since he has risen...
Why was it named Figaro? Because “Figaro is here, Figaro is there...” and you’ll get a fig of it the first time.
The dog's name is Nestor the Chronicler. Maybe just Nestor. And the chronicler because for the whole summer they could not teach the guy to pee on the street.

What is the story behind choosing a name for your pet?

Features of choosing a name for spaniels

When choosing a nickname for an animal, you must not forget about the characteristics of the breed. Household names such as Tuzik, Bobik, Sharik, Masha and so on are not suitable for a noble spaniel.

A person must show sensitivity, see in his dog what is inherent only to him. Spaniels have a radiant look, a flexible body, large ears and cute curls. Perhaps this is what is worth emphasizing.

The following nicknames are suitable for the appearance of the breed:

Sue (the name of the girl from the movie "Curly Sue");
Hoshi (star shine, star);
Radian (radiant);
Frizly (perm, curls).

You should not give affectionate diminutive names derived from the names of animals: Mouse, Bunny, Chanterelle, Dove. The spaniel is a hunter, and such nicknames do not suit the image of the breed.

What names are not allowed?

There are a number of general recommendations that should be followed when choosing a nickname for your pet:

It is considered bad form to call a dog by human names: Masha, Dashka, Vasya.
The animal should easily recognize its name. It should not be consonant with commands (Bars - “fas”).
Excessively long, pretentious names are poorly perceived by dogs, so it is better to name your pet with a one-syllable or two-syllable word.
Ridiculous and funny nicknames like “Pusik” and “Honey” are funny only until the dog grows up. The use of such nicknames for adult animals is, to say the least, absurd.
