Publisher's Synopsis
Choosing the perfect name for your dog - whether pedigree puppy or older rescue mixed breed - is no easy task. There's much to ponder in the quest to find a cool, creative, meaningful and memorable moniker for your new best friend.
Some owners find it easy, others less so. It is after all, a long-term, family commitment and, with increasing numbers of people opting to have a puppy rather than a baby, one that requires careful consideration and every bit as much thought as goes into naming a child.
So, what's the secret? There's an element of art and science to the process, but more important than that is finding the inspiration for a truly unique name that perfectly suits your pet's personality.
Of course, you could save a lot of time by simply plumping for one of the popular names, like Bella or Alfie. But surely your dog deserves better than that? If you want something more distinctive then this is the book for you.
The first part of the book guides you through the naming process before offering ideas based on breed, size and colour. It highlights growing trends and ranks names by a variety of themes, ranging from names celebrities christen their canine companions to heroic dogs from history and from Disney dogs to the pixilated pooches that star in video games. For owners with two or three dogs to name, there are lists of perfect pairings and terrific trios.
Along the way stories and snippets of information offer time to paws.
The second part of the book is a straight A to Z listing containing over 3000 practical, sensible and meaningful names.
