Choosing your dog's name

So you have found your gorgeous new puppy but what should you name him / her?

Puppies are often named by the breeder, for instance, with our first puppy the whole litter was named after characters from Fame - Leroy,

Bruno and Danny as the puppies were born during an episode of Fame. Danny was later renamed Pamber (after the Village we lived in).

You may instantly know you the best name for your dog but, if you are struggling, we have compiled a few tips and some of the most popular names of Marshalls Pet Food Store's customers.

Top Tips for Naming Your Puppy

● Take your time: Remember there is no rush in naming your puppy; why not wait a few days so you can get to know him/her to find a name

that suits best.

● Easily Recognisable: The dog must easily be able to recognise his name, a name that has two syllables and that isn't too complicated

or unusual

● Embarrassment: Choose a name you are not embarrassed to call out in the park, ie, Alfie or Milly may be easier to call than "chocolate drop"

● Human Names:There are no rules about what are human or dog names, however, make sure you don't chose a name which will offend

anybody. Some people will be thrilled you have named your dog after them, others will be far less enamoured.

● Love: Choose a name you love
