Puppy name Ideas

If you have not named him yet. Booth is a perfect name for a German Shepard. It was the name of my recently departed service dog and he is why I was able to live my life happily for the 9 years I was his handler.

hi. I had a german shepherd as a teenager, he was something special, loyal companion,you really feel safe with one around. mine was "Prince'' not very original but it suited him. How about Manda for a female and something German or at least European for a male,Carl,or Kling? after hes chewed up everything in sight you`ll be calling him Hell-mut! Get him some distractions like a conch toy thing & stuff it with treats like Dr Harry suggests, and freeze it.Keeps them busy.good luck. Simla

Hi there, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. I name them after seeing them and finding out their personality. My first pet was a cat, she was a striped tortioseshell and rolled around all day wanting to play, so I called her Candy. My first dog was a gorgeous Blue Heeler(runt), so I willed him to get big and strong and called him Mack (after the truck). I have a very special dog now, her father was Mack, and when she was born, she was also a runt. Her ears were huge compared to the rest of her body and head, so I called her Gizmo. I have a new Kitten about six months ago, he has this funny little squeak which sounds like a blowoff valve on a turbo engine, so we called him Turbo. I'm sure if you spend a little time with your new family member, something will become clear about it's personality and the name will just pop in to your head.

Again, depends on male or female ! (and also if is a pure bred, you may want to incorporate some of it's kennel/breeding name, many years ago I had a samoyed puppy who's kennel name was "Koskiosco of Samways" - he became "Bosca"). And I should add, if you are a purist, there is a difference between a german shepherd and an alsatian.
I have read some of your replies (and I apologise, this also going to be a long one), you should choose a name that can be easily distinguished by the dog, from a command, such as sit, stay, come, leave (alone), lie down, guard.
Going back to your new family member's lineage, it is also relevant to consider what the dog and bitch were bred for (and indeed, their ancestors.)
I had the wonderful experience of getting a three month old german shepherd from a breeder (she was going to keep him herself !), and the lineage was guard, although you would not have known that for the first 12 months, because he chewed everything in sight, right down to the back door step !.
I named him Kaiser (a good historical german name), and although he was a complete failure at puppy school, and was considered too big (although he was beautiful) for show, he became a VERY loyal companion, and a natural guard dog. I think his sheer size and bark intimidated people, but I did not need to walk him on a lead at night, he always heeled to my left hand side (unless there was a cat to chase !) As I had him before I met my husband, he was never as protective of David (what is that all about ?)
Enough of that............I have always liked "Max" as a name for a german shepherd, it is short, easily distinguished, and I have known two that were absolutely brilliant.
As far a name for a female goes, well I have always had males, so I'm not too sure...........perhaps "Grace" ? Can I also suggest that you be selective on who the dog will take food from, I taught Kaiser only to take food from a handful of people, and he would not eat until told it was OK to do so (saves problems if anyone tries to burgal or poison the animal, and even learning the basic commands in german, so that the dog can not be enticed away by someone with the normal english commands.

If you would like more info on bringing up a german shepherd, post back a reply. The best way to teach them is with positive reinforcement, I do not believe that you have to beat an animal (whatever kind) for them to understand what is acceptable or not. Dogs particularly only want to please you. Good luck !!!!

Hi Louise, I also love German Shepherds. Have had several during my lifetime and they make the most beautiful loyal and loving pets. Perhaps Caesar for a boy and Tiye (pronouced Tea) for a girl. I guess you worked out I have a penchant for Egyptian and Roman history. Good luck with your new baby.

I'm getting a new puppy this Saturday and I'm sooo excited because it's my first pet - wasn't allowed one as a kid and then felt sorry if I got one when I was living in units but now have a house and a good yard, so can't wait. We're getting a labrador retriever. I won't say what we've named our dog (cause people tend to steal names) but I personally love the name Sacha.

cazzac

I have had 2 german shepherds one was called schultz & the other was schuyler

gigha

I think Kyra would be a good name. I have a llama called Kyra!

nelly2

RUFAS IF ITS A MALE ,AND PARIS IF ITS A FEMALE

toot

Going on the colouring along the chest and then down the two legs how about-: double t or tt for short and that way it is a non gender specifc name.

I love German Shephers - they make loving and loyal pets.. Depends on the gender there Louise... My flatmate had two wonderful shepherds. Conan was the male (unfortunately had to be put down when only 2) and Pandora ... Jokes aside I only got a kitten late last year and I went through the baby naming websites as I wanted a similar to human name - Anyway what I would do is read a name outloud a couple of times whilst looking at a photo. NO I am not weird..LOL But for me it worked. Especially when I selected the kitten when he was younger - was told it was a girl..so I got a girlie name and pink things for her.. only to fird out the week before picking her/him up was told it was a male so I had to go back to the drawing board (Munchkin kitten - his little tick tacs where very hard to find) Hope that helps
