Choosing a Puppy Name Based on Your Puppy's Coat

Posted by Clare Bristow

miniature-daschund-puppy A good way to choose a puppy name is to base it on either the color of, or the markings on, his coat.

Black, brown, gold and white are the most common single color coats, and red is seen too in breeds like the Irish Setter (also known as the Red Setter).

Many dog coats comprise a number of colors, and names can be chosen from words that describe the pattern of colors or the shape of the markings on the coat.

Here are a few suggestions:

Black Dog Coat: Inky, Midnight, Blackie, Jet, Raven, Storm.

Brown Dog Coat: Bear, Hershey, Fudge, Bruno, Mocha, Tawny.

Golden/Yellow Dog Coat: Goldie, Vanilla, Karat, Goldberg, Cremora.

White Dog Coat: Chalky, Polar, Crystal, Ice, Coconut, Snowflake.

Red Dog Coat: Rusty, Red, Redver, Rosie, Russell.

Patterned Coat: Swirl, Stains, Merle, Jester, Jazzy.

Specific Markings on Coat: Spothog, Dottie, Dot Com, Specks, Stripey Jack.

If you've named your puppy based on his color or markings, I'd love to hear what name you chose for him.
