Dog Owners’ Frequently Asked Questions When Naming Their Male Border Collie

How do I choose the best name for my female dog?

Can the breed of my dog influence the name I choose?

Should I pick a name based on my dog's home state in the USA?

It's a fun idea! You could explore names that are related to landmarks, cities, or cultural elements of your state. For example, if you're from California, names like Sierra, Sunny, or Hollywood might resonate.

Researching popular dog names can help you avoid common choices. Additionally, you might consider unique names from literature, mythology, or different languages.

Can I choose a name based on my dog's physical features?

Should I involve my family or friends in the naming process?

Involving loved ones can be a great idea! They might offer unique perspectives and suggestions you hadn't considered. It can also be a fun bonding experience for everyone involved.

Are there any naming trends I should be aware of?

Can I wait to see my dog's personality before choosing a name?

Absolutely! Spending time with your dog can reveal quirks and traits that might inspire the perfect name. Sometimes, waiting a few days or weeks can lead to a name that feels just right.

American Brittany Rescue, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1991 as a cooperative effort of Brittany owners, breeders, trainers, and fanciers who ABR believes have a responsibility not only for their own dogs and the dogs they produce, but for the breed as a whole. For 30 years, the organization of volunteers has worked to rescue Brittanys and place them in loving homes. Over the years, thousands of dogs have found hope and a forever home, thanks to our placement efforts. Nearly 9,000 dogs have been rescued and lovingly adopted into carefully selected households. Included in this number are dogs from nearly every state, Canada as well as Greece and Spain. This work is accomplished by an army of dedicated ABR volunteers. There are over 1,500 amazing, active volunteers located within all 50 states and across Canada. From the President and Board members to the volunteers and the all-important foster families, each one plays an important role.
