Unique Male Puppy Names
Your Pal Will Love These
Unique male puppy names can be serious, cute or downright funny, as long as they’re masculine in tone to make sure you’re boy isn’t mistaken for a girl. Even though Bambi might be a good choice for a small breed, we’re not so sure how a male dog would like being given a non-manly title such as this. Perhaps you might ask him what he thinks, should you choose a gurly name like this.
Also important when coming up with a name, is taking into consideration your dogs personality, size and even it’s breed. Also, if you adopt an older pooch, you don’t want to confuse it by making it go through a mid-life name change when it’s tough enough to deal with adapting to it’s new home, in this case it’s probably wiser to keep it’s current name.
Since we feel though that most visitors to this site are new, unnamed puppy owners, we offer the following list of new choices to give the new four legged addition to your family…
