The Very Best
Dog Names by Breed

We had a lot of fun sifting and searching our database to put together these lists of dog names.

We visited each breed's country of origin (online of course!), tracked down some famous dogs, and read up about the breed's traits and temperament.

We found names that suit certain breeds to a tee - like Alphonse for a Poodle, Kaiser for a German Shepherd, or Murphy for an Irish Setter.

Common breed traits also provided a good source of dog names - Nemo, for a water loving Lab, or Prada for the Pom who loves living in the lap of luxury.

And the best names for dogs were sometimes found in unusual places - for example, Pitt (based on Brad Pitt) makes a cool name for a Pitbull Terrier.

Of course, these ideas are just scratching the surface, so follow the links to your favorite breed, search the lists, and don’t be afraid to think out of the (dog)box.
