What Are Your Favorite Female Dog Names?
Do you have any favorite dog names? Do you prefer traditional, old fashioned or unique names? Have you ever struggled with finding a name that the whole family agrees on, or is that just me? I can’t even tell you how many times my name ideas have been vetoed…
Perhaps given my own dog’s name it’s no surprise that Laika is one of my favorites. It’s a tribute to the little stray dog who became the first animal or orbit earth back in 1957. It’s short, it has a nice sound to it, and I love that it has a special meaning. And since my boyfriend is interested in all things space it got an automatic pass 🙂

Any suggestions for a tri colour female puppy kings charles pls
I don’t see the name “Sachi” on this list. I’m shocked. I had an awesome golden retriever with this name. It means “happy” in Japanese, and is a common girl’s name there. It fit my dog perfectly; she was full of joy for life. I suggest you add it, pronto!!
