After picking out your pup, picking out a name can be a big decision. If you leave it up to the kids, you could get stuck with something ridiculous like Snickers or Princess. If you get lazy, your dog could end up with the same name as every other Lab at the hunt test. Inspiration for a hunting dog name can come from anywhere, but the best ones follow a few simple rules.<\/p>\n

Above all else, says dog trainer and bird hunter Web Parton, naming a hunting dog requires that hunters consider brevity and clarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s the popular wisdom that a dog name should be one syllable and it shouldn\u2019t interfere with any commands,\u201d Parton says. \u201cIf you have a bird dog and that bird dog is going to be whoa<\/em>-broke, you probably don\u2019t want to call the dog Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n

But you should also let the name come to you after spending some time with the dog, Parton says. A pup\u2019s characteristics and quirks will rise to the surface, which can make for great inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be kind of comical sometimes. There\u2019s the German Wirehaired Pointer that shows up with a hard mouth and chews on birds, and his name is Gator,\u201d Parton says, referring to some clients he\u2019s seen over the years. \u201cOr there was one proctologist who had a German Shorthaired Pointer male, and his name was Anus. And his wife would baby-talk to the dog, \u2018my good little Anus.\u2019 So I\u2019ve seen just about everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

While we don\u2019t exactly recommend naming your dog after body parts, it\u2019s pretty hard to go wrong as long as you follow this advice. Here are some ideas to get you started.<\/p>\n

Gun Names<\/h2>\n

These names are a fine choice if you want every passerby who asks your dog\u2019s name to know that you eat, breathe, and bleed hunting. Your wedding ring might be made of antler and you probably keep your calls<\/a> on your rearview mirror.<\/p>\n
