You may select a southern puppy name for your pooch for any of many reasons. Perhaps you hail from a southern state and want a reminder of the beautiful lands in the south. It might be because your pup was given to you by a southerner or because the term sounds smooth and pleasant. You may want to select a southern title which reflects the breed of dog being named based on its body size, coloring or other physical attributes. Regardless of why, you’ll find these ideas listed to be interesting.
