Cute shy puppy looking for names for dogs

While many owners will choose a name based upon how cute it sounds, others will title their pup according to some outstanding characteristic or personality trait, and others will even choose one after that pups origin, like giving a German title to a German Shepherd.

This page offers a list of dog names from the angle of your pals coat shade and/or size, offering choices that reflect a given color, or have a relationship to that shade, or after things that are or sound big or small.

As an example, do you own a brown pooch? Then how about calling it Whiskey, or Latte, or even Coco? Is your buddy white? Then how about Blizzard or Snowflake, or even Casper after The Friendly Ghost cartoon for the pup that’s congenial at dinnertime, but disappears when it’s time to go to the vet.

As you can see, there are many angles from which one can call your your pal, it’s just a matter of you and your pooch agreeing on which is the perfect fit.
