The Perfect Fit For Tiny Pups

Learn how to stop 34 of the most common dog and puppy behavioral issues using this powerful hands-off method.


Petite pups deserve small dog names exclusively for them. Anyone who owns a smaller breed knows what a joy they can be, with their fun antics as well as their colorful character, we felt they deserved their very own page dedicated to them.

What you’ll find below are our categories that have to do with small things that just sound cute and petite at the same time. We chose many of them because we heard ourselves giving off with an “awwww” or two when picturing them on a tiny pup.

Let’s face it, there are few things cuter than a Pomeranian, Yorkie, or Chihuahua puppy, or any little breed for that matter, so why not pay tribute to their endearing “awwww” factor by giving them a title that will always keep them as an adorable puppy in your heart?

 If you're looking for a humorous twist for your buddy, why not consider giving it a big name? Your small breed will definitely get more attention with something big sounding like Attila, Bigshot, or even Rambo.

There's few things cuter than a tiny pooch. To prove this, do you ever hear the word "cute" used when describing a German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or in the extreme case a Mastiff? We didn't think so. What we do think is petite girls deserve something special, and so we offer this page.

These small sounding small dog names are dedicated to the boy that cares less if anyone views him as such. He knows that he's loved and that's built his canine confidence to where he possesses a high level of doggie self-esteem...ever notice his swagger?
