Male Golden Retriever Names

Special Names For Your Special Guy

Golden retrievers are working dogs bred for hunting. They have long, feathery fur on the back of the legs and the tail, giving them a unique appearance. They are pointing dogs, used to indicate the direction of prey and they bring back the kill in their strong but gentle jaws. They are great with children and even other, smaller dogs as long as they have been socialized and trained well. So special are they, that we’ve built this page just for them.

Our Male Golden Retriever Name Lists…

Arches: If you live in St. Louis, you know a lot about arches. If you love eating under the “golden arches”, then you know McDonalds’ fast food is available everywhere. Your Archie will like the children playing “under the arch” by crawling under his long legs, so why not pick this male Golden Retriever name?

Bolo: This choice is really an acronym. It stands for “buy one, love one” and soon after brining your male pet home, you’ll fully understand exactly why this name is perfect. You’ll love him, even if he was given to you and not purchased.

Burb: Whether you live in an urban setting or the suburbs, this choice will fit well. Urban pooches require long walks to burn off their energy and runs in the area’s dog park. Suburban pooches burn off the energy playing in the yard with the neighborhood kids. These canines are great with kids and very tolerant of their antics.

Ransom: While your furry quadruped will never hold your children for ransom, the sound of this word is just plain cool. If your boy looks like a “king’s ransom” with his shiny gold coat, choose this male Golden Retriever name.

Rumor: If you want to be talked about by family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, adopt a four-legged canine buddy. You’ll find that rumors abound about why you chose the pooch, what you will do with him, and what the kids think of him and much more. Add to that rumor mill by choosing this name and acknowledging the local rumors.

Scathe: Pronounced “stash”, this does not refer to a pile of hidden contraband. It refers to the fact that your guy will stash his toys and bones all around the home for playing with later. He’ll stash his pile of love for you in his heart and be ever-loyal. He also has a long, droppy mouth that looks a bit like a moustache.

Tumble: If you have children, you may have picked this breed because of the child-tolerant behavior. They tumble with kids well, biting only if they are absolutely forced to do so and even then, they tend to run from the problem rather than nip a little one.

Weeds: If you add a pup to your life, he will grow like garden weeds, becoming taller and taller as the weeks and months pass. These long-legged pooches are quite tall adults. He’ll also roll in the grass or weeds with the children or you anytime you allow it. So why not use this for his very own call sign?
