Chihuahuas are miniature, cheerful and good-natured dogs. When choosing a nickname for such a pet, you must remember that it should not only be original and unusual, what most owners strive for, but also to correspond to the main qualities of these dogs, emphasizing their best features.
How to choose?
Pedigree dogs with documents purchased from specialized nurseries already have names. Nicknames for them are chosen by the breeder in accordance with a number of rules established by canine associations. In Russia, the first letter of the puppy's nickname must correspond to the serial number of the litter, and reflect a certain theme (mythology, geography, etc.).
In addition, in Russian nurseries, the name of the dog from which they were born and the name of the nursery are often added to the name of the puppies. At exhibitions, the dog will perform under its official name, therefore, in order to maintain the image of the club, it must be unique and interesting. At the same time, compliance with all these rules makes nicknames for puppies difficult to pronounce and quite long.
The maximum length of a nickname is 40 characters, including spaces.
It is extremely inconvenient to use such a name in everyday life, so owners come up with other pet names for their pets, the choice of which is not regulated by strict rules and leaves room for imagination. You can name a Chihuahua in honor of your favorite movie character, actor or singer, or reflect the features of its exterior or character, or even your hobby, in the pet’s name.
The main thing is that the nickname is easy to pronounce, sonorous and liked by the dog’s owner. It is better to name your pet a short name consisting of 1 or 2 syllables - animals remember short words better and quickly begin to associate themselves with them. Also, in order for the puppy to remember his name faster, it is better to choose a variant that begins with the consonants B, D, Zh, R, Ch. Dogs remember names with vowels and consonants X, Sh, Shch, S less well.
A suitable name for a little beauty
If you become the proud owner of a little girl with funny ears, you won’t be able to do without a suitable nickname. If you don’t know what to name a Chihuahua, you can use the same principles as in choosing a name for a boy. If the origin of your dog obliges you to name it accordingly, then for keeping it at home without participating in exhibitions and shows, you can choose the simplest and most convenient name to use. Beautiful options for little girls are presented in the table below.

The influence of a name on character
Of course, the character of a pet primarily depends on the breed and upbringing, but the chosen nickname also plays an important role in this. The name has a significant impact on the character and temperament of the dog. A certain set of sounds that a pet hears most often, starting from puppyhood, can contribute to the formation of a strong character and willpower of the animal or, conversely, make it softer and kinder.
Therefore, before choosing one name, many Chihuahua owners study many options, learn the history of the breed and the meaning of the names they like. According to a scientifically unconfirmed theory, the chosen nickname contains encoded information and a set of genetic phonemes that determine the character, behavior and even fate of the dog.
