The Terrier or American Pit Bull initially was the “baiters” to Bulls, later through evolution they became an all-rounder dog breed. Pit bulls are actually very child-friendly dogs and hence named as “Nanny Dogs”, which actually makes a lot of sense because this short-haired, purebred breed is a perfect combination of a geeky intelligence yet humble and super connective personality.
Pit Bulls are known for their extensive characteristics, they are a great ambassador when it comes to fighting prejudice while training, their temperament is agile and on top of that, a medium-sized body doesn’t stop them from being determined to crack an obstacle. They are very subtle with their approach, unlike most of the dog breeds. American Pits are a great security resource, hence are found in rescue centers the most.

Let’s roll the dice a bit, the other aspect of giving your pet a name is where the “How to” question arrives, keeping In mind that this is a very precious stage we have curated a list of things you need to understand in order to select the best name for your Dog.
- The Sound Theory: Let’s get this straight, the sound of your Dog’s name matters, why so? Because your dog doesn’t understand the words the way humans do. He tends to recognised and memorise a few sounds and reacts accordingly. Hard consonants or too many consonants makes it difficult for them to differentiate and asses the one particular subject from surrounding noises. Therefore, you can choose a name like Zeus, not Hercules the later has too many distinguished voices that would make it hard for your Pet to go through. Another reason for this is, initial attention span of any specie other than human is very short, burdening your Pet with hard names is like stealing from their attention span. You don’t wanna do that, do you?.
- Choose the Apt: There’s a whole lot of rules and ideas on the spectrum when it comes to “Choosing the Right Name”, what the right name is for one dog or specie might be the wrong for the other, but one criteria that fits all situations is “Giving Meaningful” names, either it’s a fun, entertaining name like “Nuts” or a vintage styled name like “Bella” purpose and meaning matters. Inspiration can strike from everywhere and anywhere but you need to make the best of it by using your Wit. Ps : That doesn’t mean you should shy away from giving your Dog a “Not – so common”, unique name. Have fun with the process.
- Consider names that will suit throughout their lives: Pet names such as “Shorty” or “toddle” are often used when they are just an infant or too little, once they are matured enough the wouldn’t suit as best as it did previously. What matters the most is you don’t choose a name based on their outer, physical traits or age, because changes made with time can make their name look like – Not so wise decision. So take your time, be more discerned and understand the outcomes before jumping to quick conclusions.
- Always remember to be Flexible : You should be open to change in the process, sometimes the name you love and thought would be the best choice, might not be understood easily by the dog. Your Pet isn’t an asset it’s family, they’re in control of their own sense of being. Don’t disrespect that. Learn to be more thoughtful and generous when it comes to nurturing this friendly bond. Remember, your pet would learn everything from you, whenever you feel like “Dexter” or “Frizzle” is too hard for your dog to get, try compromising with some shortened versions like “Dixie” or “Starry”. Stay flexible and you’re all sorted here.
- Communicate often: Once you’ve named your Dog, don’t just forget about it and go through your every day lives without acknowledging the fact that your pet still needs training to recognise his name. Getting a pet is as huge as adopting a child itself, communicate more and include their name as much as possible, call them through their names often. Even if it doesn’t make sense sometimes.
